Congratulations to the following Central League basketball players who were named to the All Delco Teams.
First Team
Rachel Conran, Springfield: The senior guard earns her first All-Delco selection after a breakout season in which she led the Cougars to Central League and District 1 Class 5A championships. A captain on and off the floor, Conran took her game to another level in her senior year. A four-year starter, she has been a terrific 3-point shooter since her freshman season, but in 2021 she was the floor general on a 21-1 team that went toe-to-toe with the eventual state champion neighbor Cardinal O’Hara in the PIAA Class 5A semifinals. Conran worked to become a more well-rounded scorer and made steady improvements to her defensive game. She averaged 14 points per game in her final high school season. One of Conran’s best performances happened to come in the only game Springfield lost this year. In her swan song at Springfield, Conran poured in a game-high 17 points in a 40-28 defeat to O’Hara in the state semifinal.
