WILSON PICKED UP HIS 300TH CAREER VICTORY IN THE TROJANS’ DISTRICT I PLAYBACK GAME AGAINST CHESTER ON MARCH 3.

The longtime coach guided the Trojans to a topfour seed in the 5A district tournament, a third place finish in Districts and back to the state tournament. While Wiss fell to Achbishop Carroll in the first round, the Trojans pushed the PCL power for most of the game.

Wilson isn’t one to take credit for his team’s success and all throughout the season, praised his seniors for their leadership and his team’s overall unselfish play. He also frequently noted the Wissahickon students and community for the support they provided the team throughout the season whether it was at home or even away games.

While the Trojans will have to replace some top contributors, they have a nice core of players due to return including Eddie Fortescue, Cole Hirsch and Carmen Ostroski. BACK ON TARGET » Every basketball player is going to have a stretch where their shot just won’t fall.

Souderton’s Megan Bealer and Megan Walbrandt had that in the last couple games of the District 1 tournament, where they were getting the same kind of good looks they had all season and just couldn’t make them. The two juniors broke their mini-slumps in the first round of states against Manheim Township.

Bealer led Souderton with 18 points while Walbrandt scored 15. Souderton won big, but having two of their starters get their confidence back up was just as vital as the final margin of victory. Both players continued to contribute in other ways, Bealer with her rebounding and Walbrandt her lockdown defense.
