During a chaotic 2024-25 girls basketball season, Palmyra could always count on two things from its standout forward: fierce rebounding and a can-do attitude.
Mya Doster will be taking those winning traits, and much more, to the next level.
The Cougars’ senior recently announced that she plans to extend her basketball career at Lackawanna College in Scranton.
“I love the coaches and the girls that I met are super sweet,” said Doster at PennLive’s Mid-Penn Media Day last week.
“I just loved the environment there.”
Doster has played a dynamic role in Palmyra’s success since her freshman campaign, and the 6-0 forward will be among the top returning players and rebounders in the always competitive Keystone Division.
Aside from producing a handful of double-doubles as a junior, the Cougars (10-12) muscled into another District 3 5A tournament despite a rocky regular season.
Doster’s ability to control the interior – she continues to extend her shooting range, too – also guided the Cougars (18-9) to the PIAA 5A Tournament in 2024.
“It was between Mansfield, Lackawanna and Penn State-Harrisburg,” Doster said.
“It’s like an hour and 45 away. I always wanted to be a little closer to home, but that really wasn’t a deciding factor in choosing Lackawanna.”
Doster said the next step is bolstering her game during her final season with the Cougars, which begins shortly under first-year head coach and former Milton Hershey standout Pedro Rodriguez.
“Obviously, I just plan on staying in the gym and working on my game,” she said.
