Point Guard Kylie Webb was named to the All-Tournament Team and Center Alex Blomstrom was named the Most Valuable Player of the Tournament. The team competes each winter in the Inter-County Basketball Association basketball league with teams from Berks, Bucks, Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
