Westtown School boasts some of the nation’s top talent on its girls’ basketball team, and Coach Fran Burbidge has taught them all to share the load, writes Aaron Carter for The Philadelphia Inquirer. 

Burbidge is the culinary master ensuring his entire team gets to eat when it comes to playtime. 

“At different times and in different games you’ll eat different amounts,” he said. “But you’re going to be able to score the ball if you [play unselfishly].” 

The system works as The Moose are currently No. 6 in the country by ESPN. 

The star-studded team includes sophomore forward Jordyn Palmer, last season’s state Gatorade Player of the Year, and sophomore Jessie Moses, a point guard, both of whom are sought by most major college programs nationwide. Senior Kennedy Henry has already committed to Villanova while fellow senior Kennedy Hall will continue playing at Boston College. 

“We talk about [unselfishness] an awful lot,” said Burbidge. “We talk about how their journeys [are] always going to be with four other kids on the floor that are really good players. It becomes what we hang our hat on offensively. Just being good teammates because they’re all scorers.”
