Chris Dolan answers teammates’ call as Springfield beats Penncrest
Posted on 2 February 2024 by ldevlin .
SPRINGFIELD – Chris Dolan is, admittedly, a reluctant shooter. Part of that is the Springfield guard’s sense of awareness, knowing the strengths around him and the patience powering the offense. Part of it is being able to impact games without scoring.
