Amy Entwistle has been coaching the girls basketball team at Catoctin for eighteen years. She played for her high school team at Governor Thomas Johnson, and then at Messiah College. In the summer of 2004, she was employed as a P.E. teacher at Thurmont Middle and started coaching girls basketball at Catoctin. She later got a full-time job at Catoctin. Her coach in college used to tell her that "the journey is the goal," and Entwistle certainly carries that idea through her own career as a coach. She believes that the most important thing about playing basketball is learning life lessons that athletes will carry with them forever. She says that "basketball teaches you the importance of consistently doing the little things well, because it is the little things that lead to big things like wins." Entwistle loves that players are forced to make split-second decisions and compete every possession.
