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.<\/p>\n
Mya Doster will be taking those winning traits, and much more, to the next level. <\/p>\n
The Cougars\u2019 senior recently announced that she plans to extend her basketball career at Lackawanna College in Scranton.<\/p>\n
\u201cI love the coaches and the girls that I met are super sweet,\u201d said Doster at PennLive\u2019s Mid-Penn Media Day last week. <\/p>\n
\u201cI just loved the environment there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Doster has played a dynamic role in Palmyra\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
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. <\/p>\n
Doster\u2019s ability to control the interior \u2013 she continues to extend her shooting range, too \u2013 also guided the Cougars (18-9) to the PIAA 5A Tournament in 2024.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was between Mansfield, Lackawanna and Penn State-Harrisburg,\u201d Doster said. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s like an hour and 45 away. I always wanted to be a little closer to home, but that really wasn\u2019t a deciding factor in choosing Lackawanna.\u201d<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, I just plan on staying in the gym and working on my game,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
