Boys: Catholic League roundup

The Philadelphia Catholic League boys had three games on Sunday’s schedule. Here’s a roundup of the day’s action, which included a trio of big-time performances:

Bonner-Prendergast 74, Devon Prep 62

The Bonner-Prendergast boys basketball team felt the urgency Sunday afternoon.

Coming off two straight losses in the Catholic League, the Friars didn’t want to fall too far behind the top half of the league.

Senior forward Deuce Ketner rose to the occasion for the Friars. Ketner poured in a career-high 30 points to go with eight rebounds and two steals in a 74-62 victory over Devon Prep. After Ketner carried the load with a huge first half, the rest of his teammates came alive after the break to spur the Friars to a comeback win.

By CoBL Staff

The 2024 Maggie Lucas Classic took place on Sunday, January 21 at Jefferson University’s Gallagher Athletic Center, an 11-game affair featuring teams from around the Delaware Valley, plus one from New Jersey and one from Delaware.

Here’s who stood out to the CoBL staff in the games we watched:

Haylie Adamski (2025 | Garnet Valley)
Adamski earned being named her team’s Player of the Game, scoring almost half her team’s point total in a blowout win over Mount St. Joseph’s, finishing with 19 points on 7-of-11 shooting and 1-2 from beyond the arc. Adamski — a recent scorer of her thousandth point for the Jaguars — opened the game in style on a majestic breakaway layup that set the tone for what was to come, utilized all of her 6-foot length to pull down seven rebounds and showed off what’s made Garnet Valley’s star guard such a sought-after Division I recruit.

It lasted only a couple of minutes. Sisters Adamski – junior star Haylie and freshman risers Addie and Kylie – were on the floor together during the second half of Garnet Valley’s 52-30 victory over Springfield.

Accompanying each other on the court during a game hasn’t happened often for the Adamskis, but it will become a more frequent sight in due course. Haylie, who scored her 1,000th career point earlier this month, is one of the best players in Delaware County. Twins Addie and Kylie are key players off the bench on an otherwise experienced Jaguars team built to win championships this season.

“It’s really good. We’ve waited so long to play with Haylie in high school,” Kylie said. “We’ve played together before, with Malvern (youth league), but it’s different being in high school now. It means a lot.”

“It’s always exciting when we all get to play together,” Addie added. “It’s just like old times.”

Girls: Late-game run spurs Archbishop Wood past Archbishop Carroll

It was gut-check time.

Archbishop Wood girls’ basketball coach Mike McDonald sent Emily Knouse to check in with a little less than four minutes to play and the Vikings trailing by 11 against Archbishop Carroll. He was going to give Knouse and the group on the floor a last chance to find themselves and if it didn’t work, he was ready to call in the subs.

Knouse certainly found herself, Makayla Finnegan found herself on the right end of two of the game’s biggest plays and somehow Wood found itself a 51-46 winner over the Patriots thanks to a 16-0 game-ending run Saturday night.

“I’m in disbelief almost with that just happening, it felt like a playoff game at the end there,” McDonald said. “Gutsy, gutsy stuff from our kids. I thought Makayla Finnegan was our player of the game in many ways, putting the ball in the basket and drawing a charge at the end was huge, that was the biggest one of the season so far.”

Girls: Carney goes off in Ridley’s senior-night win over Marple Newtown

Kyla Carney carries a reminder on the inner part of her right wrist. It’s the tattoo of a peace symbol, similar to the one her grandmother, Jackie Carney, used to have on the back of her left shoulder.

Jackie was a free spirit. She was a child of the 1960’s tie-dye, hippie generation. She also never missed one of Kyla’s games. On September 13, Kyla’s biggest fan passed away suddenly from lung cancer.

Kyla has a good idea Jackie was somewhere watching on Saturday night, as she dropped a career-best 27 points on Ridley’s Senior Night to beat Marple Newtown, 50-36.

It marked the fifth-straight win for the Green Raiders (9-7 overall, 5-4 Central League) and Kayla’s best game so far this season, supported by 10 points from fellow senior Kailyn Bell.
