Coming off a historic season in which the Trojans finished 21-3 including a South Sectional championship and an undefeated 8-0 in the Southeast Conference. B /R led by Head Coach Cheryl Seavey will return all 5 starters and 9 letter winners to the court.
This group has gone an amazing 60-9 over the last three years and return two of the states top performers in junior Shay Bollin Shay Bollin 6'3" | SF Bridgewater-Raynham | 2022 #26 Nation MA and senior Kenzie Matulonis Kenzie Matulonis 5'6" | PG Bridgewater - Raynham | 2021 State MA . Bollin, who earlier this fall committed to Duke University, averaged 18.8 points and 10 rebounds per game while adding 2.6 assists, 2.5 blocks and 2.2 steals en route to earning spots on the Boston Globe Super Team and the Boston Herald Dream Team for a second straight season. Matulonis, who signed a letter of intent to play at the University of New Hampshire next fall, earned Herald all-scholastic accolades after averaging 10.9 points, 5.7 assists, 5.6 rebounds and 4.2 steals per contest. Shay is the Prep Girls Hoops #1 ranked player in the Class of 2022 while Kenzie is the #5 ranked player in the Class of 2021.
Look for the two stars to get some perimeter help from senior guard Tahlia Tah Tahlia Tah 5'9" | SF Bridgewater - Raynham | 2021 State MA who score almost 9ppg (42 made 3’s) and junior guard Amber Silva who chipped in 6 ppg (26 made 3’s)
In addition several key role players are back and look forward to adding depth to an already unreal team. Senior Forward Bella Calvani is a force down low, where she finishes at the basket and does a great job on the boards. A trio of juniors all played minutes last year and look to take on a deeper role. This includes forward Fiona Kelly who added 5 points and 5 boards a game last year. Also classmates Dana Possick and Ashley Jacques provide added depth. After getting her feet wet last year, Sophomore Emma Flaherty will play an increased role.
The Trojans open up their season on January 5th when they travel to play the Dartmouth Indians.
