HAVERFORD — It would appear that there is a new team to beat in the Central League.
Caroline Dotsey and Haverford rolled past Garnet Valley Thursday night, 57-30, for their seventh victory in as many games this season.
The Fords are as dangerous as they have ever been under coach Lauren Pellicane, now in her sixth season. Dotsey, a four-year starter at power forward, has matured into a well-rounded threat from all areas of the floor. She produced a game-high 24 points and grabbed 17 rebounds.
“Our mentality this year is we came out really hungry as a team,” Dotsey said. “The competitiveness we have in practice and the effort everyone puts has really put us in a good spot at this point in the season. We just want to keep getting better.”
The Fords love to push the ball, a delightful change of pace from the stop-and-stall tactics many high school teams employ. They move the ball well and have four legit shooters who can drill the long-range shot. Thursday, Dotsey and her sophomore sister Rian each banked a 3-pointer, along with fleet-footed combo guards Sky Newman and Aniya Eberhart, who netted seven points apiece.
“Our speed in transition and utilizing that with our different types of players we have on the floor is really important,” Caroline Dotsey said. “Everyone can run, everyone is long and everyone can score this year. It’s really great to have that kind of pace.”
Another aspect of the Fords’ game is their physicality. Caroline Dotsey is 6-2, Rian Dotsey is 6-1 and Mollie Carpenter is 6-0. They are bigger than any team in the Central League. A senior forward/center, Carpenter is by far the team’s most aggressive player. And she doesn’t shy away from playing a little bully ball.
