Twin sisters drive Fontbonne’s JV
It’s not the first time that sisters have played on the same Fontbonne basketball team. But it’s a first for freshmen and identical twins Lucy and Tess Kuhlmann to quickly become the dominant scoring leaders of this season’s JV team. Of the team’s 446 points in its first 10 games, the twins have scored 223, or exactly half.
With the addition of the twins and a new coaching staff, the JV has a whole new look. After the retirement of longtime head coach Bob Atanasio last season, former varsity head coach Steve Oliver reached out to Brittany McDonough, who played with his daughter Jill. As a 1,000-point scorer on the championship 2010 PSAL Leon M. Goldstein High School team, McDonough’s achievement gave her an opportunity to play on scholarship for Chestnut Hill College.
Joining McDonough as her assistant coach is Chanel Jermot, another Goldstein 1000-point scorer (in 2012), who went on to have a standout basketball career at Brooklyn College.
