Sydni Scott’s Twitter handle doesn’t leave any room for interpretation. When you go by “Syd Buckets,” you’re making a statement.
The Cardinal O’Hara senior guard, born and raised in Delco has played with an eye on the rim since her father Christopher Scott had her playing with his boys program in Yeadon.
“My friend Sanaa [Redmond], she goes to Samford, her mom called me ‘Syd Buckets,’ so I dragged that out to this day,” Scott said. “I’m going to get buckets this whole season, keep getting buckets — buckets for my team, just play for everybody. I play for myself, but I mostly play for my coaches that helped me work until this point, that helped me commit, I just play for everybody I love.”
“I watched her CYO journey, and she was a scorer,” O’Hara coach Chrissie Doogan said, “but she was a tremendous passer — to a point where we’re like Syd, if you’re open, shoot.
