When she was 10, Amarys Moten remembered how her team lost a championship game mainly due to one player's dominance.

"There was this one girl who kept making all of these long shots from around half court," recalled Moten, who is a senior. "We couldn't stop her. That has always been one of my basketball memories, but I will take some with me from this season."

Fast forward to the 2014 season, and Moten has experienced some similar situations. In her fourth and final year in the program, Moten and her teammates experienced an exhilarating season despite winning their opening game and second-to last sandwiched around 18 losses. The Roughies dropped their season finale to Northwestern to finish with an overall 2-19 clip.

Veteran head coach Dave Troxell returned to the sidelines and the concept of wins and losses were a secondary thought.

"We played more like a team this year," said Moten. "We just didn't have that the past two years. He (Troxell) really showed us how he cared about us and gave us more confidence out there. We would have liked to have a couple of more wins and we thought we could get them.

"But it just was a totally different year for us overall."

It also was a different year for Moten, who moved up after playing a guard position last year.

"I knew I had to be a lot stronger," said Moten about the change. "But I felt more confident as a senior this year and adjusted well to the new coaching style."

"I cared for the game more this season and I also worked hard on my rebounding."

Moten, who was the team's fourth-leading scorer this season, tallied a career-high six points in the team's second win of the season against Lehigh Valley Christian Academy.

"That was a big game for me," she said. "I usually score a couple of points, but I really felt good about that game. I just tried to do whatever I could out there."

Troxell appreciated the efforts all season long from his senior.

"Amarys (Moten) worked hard and did all of the little things out there," he said. "She improved her game throughout the season and became a complete player. We're going to miss her."

Moten, who also has been a member of the school's cheerleading, field hockey, and softball squads, plans to pursue a career in speech pathology, but hasn't chosen a college.

Her mother and step-father, Jessica and Bryan, along with siblings Brandon and Olivia have always been supportive of her.

"I went to see Susquehanna (University) as a college choice and really like it there," said Moten. "But I don't want to be too far away from home. I have enjoyed my time at Catty and I hope the (basketball) program continues to grow."
