January 10, 2022

Photographers snapped off several Kailee Helmrich action pictures Monday night. The real keeper could be the one where Helmrich took the ball just outside the arc, stood and surveyed the defense.

The Williamsport point guard is constant motion, endless energy and quality production wrapped into one relentless package. Those attributes rub off on her teammates, too, and Williamsport shined when the pressure was highest at Montoursville. Helmrich produced a double-double (24 points, 10 rebounds) ...
