Coudersport girls repeat as champs

Front: (l. to r.): Emily Giannotti, Maureen McCusker, Kelly McVay, Kayla Bohn, Karli Duffee, Tigan Chiumento, Allison Giannotti. Back: Jessica Wilson, Hope Morris, Kristy Kamper, Jordan Bright, Sabrina Hershey, Stephanie Kelley, Ashley Carroll, Katie Karpinski.

A swarming defense and depth were two key factors in the Coudersport girls' success this season.

Coach Brian Green and assistant Cheryl Morey often went 11 deep as the Falcon bench played a key role in the team's successful defense of its Northern Tier League championship with an unblemished 14-0 mark.

Even more scary to Coudersport's opponents could be the realization that only one member of this year's team, starter Hope Morris, will be lost to graduation.

Scoring leaders (playoffs not included): Kristy Kamper 14.9, Jessica Wilson 11.6, Hope Morris 7.7, Karli Duffee 6.2, Kelly McVay 5.3, Jordan Bright 4.5.
