âI play every game like itâs an intense game,â she said. âMy dad told me â you have to play like youâre an underdog. You canât go in thinking itâs going to be an easy game because any team can come and beat you on any given day. You never know whatâs going to happen.â

WHITEMARSH Abington took something from its District 1-6A first-round playoff game against Kennett last weekend. In the three-point win, the Ghosts had to deal with the Blue Demons sideline getting loud and impacting the game. Head coach Charles Grasty asked his team why they canât do the same thing.
The Ghosts bench took that challenge to heart in their second-round matchup Tuesday night. The reserves were on their feet from the opening tip until the final whistle, encouraging the defense and celebrating baskets on offense.
Their infectious energy spread to the court as No. 14 Abington jumped out to an early lead and never let No. 3 Plymouth Whitemarsh get close in a 66-48 win at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School.
