Summary
Coaches and district leaders recognized the Plymouth White Marsh field hockey team (15–5) and the boys cross country team for an undefeated league season and the program’s first league championship; individual player honors and the teams’ resilience were highlighted.
At the Colonial School District board reorganization meeting, the board and district leaders recognized two championship teams from Plymouth White Marsh High School.
Field hockey coach Charice Haltsman thanked the board and recounted a season that began with a 0–3 start, a turning-point 2–1 overtime win over Quakertown, and a run that produced a 15–5 final record and an undefeated league stretch. Haltsman singled out senior Emily Dabrowski as Suburban One Liberty Division player of the year and named other players who earned first- and second-team honors.
