The McFillin sisters had a chance to be on the court together playing for the Archbishop Carroll Patriots.

It was a season to remember—the last time the three McFillin sisters would get to play together, writes Owen McCue for the City of Basketball Love, as printed in The Philadelphia Inquirer.

Felicity, a senior; Maddie, a junior; and Abigail, a freshman, got a big moment Feb. 26, playing a sold-out Palestra during the Philadelphia Catholic League girls’ championship for Archbishop Carroll High School in Radnor.

“It’s packed in here. This will never happen again for these girls, all three of them on the same court in front of a sold-out Palestra,” Matt McFillin told his wife, Maureen at the game.

Except for one summer league team, the girls’ age difference meant they never got to play on the same team until Abigal entered high school.

Carroll head coach Renie Shields said the last time she coached three siblings on the same team was in 2009, with her own daughters, Kerri, Erin, and Shannon.

This is the final time the trio will play together at Carroll. Abigail and Maddie are returning next season, but Felicity is heading to the U.S. Air Force Preparatory School in Colorado before enrolling in the Air Force Academy.
