It used to be, on the area girls basketball scene, that ninth-graders
that made a key varsity contribution — let alone started — were as rare
as Kobe Bryant passing up an open jumper.
These days, however, there is a veritable proliferation of impact freshmen prevalent around the area.
Nowhere is the trend more apparent than at Perkiomen School, which
start two freshmen — forward Kristen Burdo and point guard Stephanie
Falcone.
The 5-foot-10 Burdo is averaging 14.5 points (sixth in the area)
for the Tri-County League regular season champion Panthers. She’s hit
the 20-point mark four times this season, including season-high 21-point
efforts in wins over Barrack and Woodlynde.
