RED HILL — Upper Perkiomen’s Stacey Auckland is no stranger to hard
work, whether she’s handling chores at the farm she works at or working
on her skills during basketball practice.
You could say the 5-foot-10 senior center brings a “Country Strong” approach to the hardwood.
On the court, she patrols the paint area with a straightforward,
no-nonsense game devoid of flash but overflowing with heart and
determination.
“From the first time I saw her in seventh grade, I could tell
Stacey had what it takes to be a special player,” Indians coach Pete
Sovia said. “She’s always had a great, consistent work ethic and a love
for the game.”
A four-year starter, Auckland heads into today’s game against
Palisades 29 points shy of becoming the fifth 1,000-point scorer in
school history.
“It’s really exciting,” Auckland said prior to Thursday’s game
against Phoenixville, when she scored 14 points to help the Tribe clinch
its first PAC-10 playoff berth since 1993-94. “All of the hard work
we’ve done is paying off. We all wanted this to happen.”
