Tradition rich Lewis Palmer rolled to another state championship last Fall ending the 2016 campaign with a perfect 29-0 mark. That group was led by several talented seniors but the tradition should live on as the Rangers return several young players who played important roles in the title chase. Among them is McKenna Sciacca who returns for her junior year after earning second team all-state honors.
Holy Family standout Ali Travis is the lone first-teamer back on the court this year and she hopes to lead the Tigers one final step after finishing second a season ago.
