Girls Basketball Season Recap 2023-24

2023-24 Girls Basketball Season Recap

The Conwell-Egan Catholic Girls Basketball team played the 14th strongest schedule (of 730 teams) in the state of Pennsylvania this season, and escaped with nine victories, four in the always-tough Philadelphia Catholic League, and qualified for the PCL playoffs.

“Some of our better played games resulted in close losses to very strong teams,” said seventh-year head coach Christopher Brennan. “We lost by six points to Nazareth, who was a PCL Final Four team and reached the semi-finals of the State Championships.”

In the PCL post-season, CEC lost to eventual PCL and PA State champion Archbishop Wood.

The Eagles went 2-0 in the season-opening “She Got Game” Tournament in Washington, D.C. and 1-1 in Wildwood’s Boardwalk Classic. 

At the “She Got Game” tournament junior Lily Milewski was named a Game MVP. Milewski earned All-Catholic League honors this year, averaging a team-high 14.7 points along with a team-high 7.0 rebounds per game.  Milewski also earned the Sportsmanship Award at the Rose Classic Super Jam in Brooklyn, NY. “Lily is on track to score her 1,000th point early next season,” Brennan added.

Also at the “She Got Game” tournament, senior Brianna McFadden was named a Game MVP. A four-year starter and team captain, Brianna will further her education and basketball career at Gwynedd Mercy University in the fall.

Brianna’s twin sister, Brooke McFadden, who earned All-PCL honors as a junior, will continue her basketball career at The College of New Jersey. Brooke earned Game MVP honors at the Rose Classic Super Jam in Brooklyn, NY and again earned All-Catholic honors after averaging 9.9 points and 6.8 rebounds per game this year.

Senior Molly Milewski received the Student-Athlete award at the Rose Classic Super Jam.

The squad loses a great deal to graduation, including senior Mya Aizen, who earned All-Catholic honors as a sophomore, leading CEC to the final eight in the 2022 State Playoffs, but has suffered an injury-riddled career on both the hardwood and the soccer pitch. “Even when she was injured, she was a very important part of our team, attending every practice, and was like having another coach,” Brennan said. “She will be missed.”

With just one senior expected on the 2024-25 roster, the young Eagles will look for freshman Brianna Jackson to add a spark.  “She is an incredible guard who brings a dynamic to the team that we had not had since I’ve been here,” Brennan said. “She gave us a spark at both ends of the court.” Jackson averaged a team-high 3.74 assists this year as a rookie playmaker and even received a vote for All-Catholic honors.

“We will be very young next year but very talented as well,” Brennan said. “Many of our players are multi-sport athletes so a big challenge is getting them all together for preseason drills,” Brennan said. “If we can overcome that challenge, we should be very successful.”
