Pickard on Barletta

Kasia is joining us from right up the road. Both her and Sabrina [Kinkaid] played for a very well-respected Shenendehowa High School program as well as LVC in the club ranks. It’s hard to talk to anyone in the area who doesn’t know about Kasia and has great things to say about her on the court. She passes and reads on defense well. She is the type of player that others want to play with.
