Heart is everything for Olivia Voshell.
The Strath Haven senior plays basketball with plenty of heart and it’s a trait her teammates picked up this season as well. So while she and the Panthers were at a serious size disadvantage against Crestwood on Saturday, they knew their heart would keep them in the game.
Strath Haven’s season ended in the PIAA Class 5A quarterfinals Saturday but only after the Panthers had pushed the Comets to the limit, Crestwood scraping out a 54-47 win at Easton Area Middle School.
“You can’t really compare height to heart,” Voshell said. “We have some of the biggest hearts. Maddie and Kenzie (Fanning) are five-foot-nothing and they come out and act like they’re eight feet tall. I think it’s just coming in and not being afraid.”
