There’s a reason the Wildwood Catholic girls basketball program is consistently one of the best in South Jersey. The Crusaders play the game hard, from the stars down to the last player on the bench.
Nobody exemplified that style more than Anastasia Bowman, a powerful forward who could impose her will on just about any opponent.
The Crusaders went 23-6 this past winter and made it to the sectional semifinals with Bowman leading the way. She scored more than 200 points and added more than 200 rebounds to go along with 62 assists, 21 blocked shots and 49 steals. During her four-year career, Bowman combined for nearly 1,000 points and rebounds and was one of the best post defenders in the Cape-Atlantic League.
