As the District 1 playoffs roll on this week, the Catholic League is down to its final four teams.
The girls semifinal doubleheader is set for Tuesday evening at Conwell-Egan High in Falls Township, Bucks County.
Top-seeded Archbishop Carroll, which is undefeated in league play, meets No. 4 Neumann-Goretti at 5:30.
Carroll clobbered West Catholic in the quarterfinal round as Taylor Wilson poured in 19 points for the Patriots in a 57-19 victory. N-G advanced to the semifinals with a 66-52 win over Lansdale Catholic.
Wilson and senior guard Grace O’Neill have been excellent for Patriots (17-4), who’ve won 13 of their last 14 contests.
“I think a lot of people did kind of sleep on us this year and we’ve come out and really proved ourselves,” Wilson said recently.
