Camryn Driscoll and Keighley Davis started playing basketball together in the fifth grade.
They have a knack for knowing what each other is going to do and wouldn\u2019t know what to do without one another.
They teamed up to lead Princeton to a share of a Three Rivers Conference East Division championship and a third straight appearance in a regional championship game.
Both were unanimously named Three Rivers East All-Conference.
For all of their accomplishments, they, naturally, share the 2024-25 BCR co-girls Basketball Players of the Year honors.
\u201cIn each of their three years in high school, Keighley and Camryn have been instrumental in leading the team to 20-win seasons and playing for a regional championship. They are both incredibly athletic, but bring their own unique skill sets to the game,\u201d PHS coach Tiffany Gonigam said.
\u201cThey have both continued to grow as leaders of the team in their approach, character and encouragement. It is easy to follow their footsteps in terms of work ethic and talent, but my challenge to them has been to lead with encouragement, be vocal, keep the team positive and energized and they have continued to exceed expectations.\u201d
Davis and Driscoll got their start playing together on the travel team Davis’ dad, Spencer, put together in the fifth grade. They have led their teams to conference championships for five straight seasons, beginning with an undefeated title in the seventh grade at Logan through this year\u2019s share of the Three Rivers East title with Kewanee.
\u201cWe\u2019ve done a lot together and won conference every year in school we\u2019ve played,\u201d Driscoll said.

It\u2019s a chemistry that they\u2019ve built together that leads to their individual and team successes.
\u201cWe have the chemistry that clicks, looking for the pass and knowing they\u2019re going to be there,\u201d Davis said.
\u201cI get the steals and she\u2019s always up the court and just throw it up there. It\u2019s always been like that,\u201d Driscoll said.
They also have trust in one another.
\u201cI think just knowing she can take the shot and knowing that we can depend on her to get a last-minute shot. Defense she\u2019s pretty good at, having her right there to trap or anything,\u201d Davis said.
\u201cShe is probably the best defender I\u2019ve played with before and she\u2019s the best at pushing the floor that I\u2019ve played with,\u201d Driscoll said. \u201cIt\u2019s really important to have people on your team like that because there\u2019s times in the game we need a moment to get going on a run and she\u2019s good at that and always seems to be a part of those moments.\u201d
Both were pretty pleased with how the season went.
\u201cThere\u2019s definitely ups and downs and probably places we\u2019d rather be than where we ended. It was a good season,\u201d Davis said.
\u201cI feel like we kept our goals staying up in conference,\u201d Driscoll said. \u201cThere were some rough patches that we went through, but felt like we worked really hard in practice and grinded through and improved a lot.\u201d
Driscoll was the leading scorer in the area, averaging 13.9 points along with an area-best 3.6 steals and 4.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
Gonigam said Driscoll really stepped up her game this season.
\u201cCamryn specializes in handling the ball and has excellent court vision. She is our most efficient scorer, she has a nice 3-point shot, she can make free throws consistently, and this year we saw her take the ball to the basket much more,\u201d she said. \u201cShe had a lot of success doing this as teams know her as a shooting threat, driving lanes opened up for her and she showed she can finish against players much bigger than her.\u201d
Davis averaged 13.7 points, 8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.2 steals, a force on both offense and defense, Gonigam said.
\u201cKeighley offers some height and rebounds the ball very well. She can play in the post, but can also drive to the basket with a very quick step, so she is tough for other teams to defend,\u201d she said. \u201cKeighley is great at anticipating the ball defensively and can cause a lot of havoc creating turnovers and getting steals. This leads her to where she can put up a lot of points quickly and that is in the open floor. She is very good on the fast break, whether that is sprinting the court and scoring for herself or pushing the ball upcourt to her teammates.\u201d
The Princeton duo will make history next season as early as the first game.
Davis became the sixth player in program history to score 1,000 points this season, ranked No. 4 with 1,157 points, and will take aim on Tiah Romagnoli\u2019s program record of 1,506. Driscoll will join her next season, needing just 14 points to join the club. They would be the first set of PHS girls from the same class to reach 1,000 points, following the boys class of 2023 with Grady Thompson and Teegan Davis, Keighley\u2019s brother.
\u201cI didn\u2019t even know. That\u2019s really exciting. That doesn\u2019t happen often,\u201d Driscoll said.
They share the same goal for next season. After falling in the regional final three straight years, Driscoll says \u201cwin regionals,\u201d while Davis simply says, \u201cMake it farther.\u201d
