Bucks County Athletes Celebrate the New Year with Stellar Performances

The holiday season brought out the best in Bucks County athletes, who delivered quality performances in basketball, wrestling, and track and field.

From clutch game-winners to record-breaking feats, these athletes showcased their talent and determination.

In boys’ basketball, Central Bucks East’s AJ Molnar stole the show with a buzzer-beating steal and layup, where they secured a dramatic 48-47 victory over CB West.

Neshaminy’s Logan Gale was another star, scoring a game-high 22 points in a commanding win over Harry S. Truman.

Pennsbury’s Max Manga dominated with 18 points and 13 rebounds, leading his team to a 60-56 win at the Modie Risher Holiday Tournament.

Girls’ basketball had its share of excitement, too. Lily Milewski of Conwell-Egan hit a major milestone and scored her 1,000th career point in a 26-point effort against Archbishop Ryan.

Neshaminy’s Ashlyn Duffy broke the program record for 3-pointers in a game, draining nine en route to a career-high 29 points and earning MVP honors at the Hilltop Classic.

On the wrestling mat, Hatboro-Horsham’s Dominick Morrison pinned his way to the 114-pound title at the Ralph Wetzel Holiday Tournament.

For the girls, Souderton’s MacKenna Atkinson earned a 235-pound championship with three pins, including a lightning-fast 16-second final match.

Track & field saw record-setting performances, including Destini Smith of Souderton breaking a 21-year-old Pennsylvania state record in the triple jump with a mark of 42-2.75.

Central Bucks East’s Tyler Tomlinson claimed the 3,000-meter title at the Robert J. Burdette Indoor Classic with a blazing time of 8:54.04.
