The Irvington girls’ basketball team has been a model of consistency under longtime coach Gina Maher, and this year is no exception.

Coming off a spectacular 26-2 season, the Lady Bulldogs have been at the top of their game since the opening tipoff again, winning 12 of their first 13 games and putting themselves in outstanding position for another league title and a long postseason run.

“I think we’re where we thought we would be. We’ve played well and won some big games,” said Maher, now in her 36th year on the sidelines. “We don’t rely on one player and we don’t always rely on three players. Our strength is we have five players that can play basketball and others that can come off the bench and contribute.”  more »

“Part of my success comes from being exposed to different teammates, rules and sports as a whole,” she said.  more »
