Boykins will serve as General Manager for the team. “Coach Mo” was the Head Coach at Lower Merion High School’s basketball program from 2016-2019 as well as Head Coach of two AAU travel teams and also created the “Jump-Start” basketball league at the Darby Recreation Center. A former high school star and a Graduate of Rutgers University where she also excelled on the court, Coach Mo played pro ball in Belgium, Holland and France.
