Dear Methacton Families and Community,
Huge accomplishments for Methacton girls basketball last week as major records were broken for the program and milestones were set!
First highlight is that of junior Abby Arnold, who beat the single game scoring record with a phenomenal showing against rival Norristown HS at home last Tuesday. Abby was on fire with a total of 39 points!! The single game scoring record for Methacton girls basketball was originally set in 1997 by Maegan Gaile. Congrats on this major accomplishment Abby!
Second highlight is that of our very own Coach Kaminski, who came away with his 350th career win, leading the lady Warriors to a victory on the road at OJR HS!! Congrats Coach K!!
Keep up the great work!
Go Warriors!
Sincerely,
John M. Smink
