MVP
Nicole Gallagher ’18
Bishop Feehan High School – Strong body guard who looks to attack from
start to finish. Tough nose defender who for the majority of the event was
playing defense 94 feet, making just getting the ball inbounds difficult for
the opposing team. Nicole finished our event in the top four in scoring,
tallying 39 points (15.6 ppg) while shooting 18 of 32 from the field. She led all guards with 18 rebounds, showing a nose for where
the ball would bounce off the rim and being the first one to react to it, time
and time again. She also was able to finish the Be Seen Event with 6 steals and
6 assists all adding to her overall total performance being the most efficient participant
in a very strong field of ball players! Nicole plays AAU basketball for Alex
DaLuz and a very talented 2018 MPC Swish group.
All-Stars
Yuleska Ramirez ’16
Cambridge - Hands down the best
all-around scorer in the event. Yuleska finished off the night with 60 points,
which was 15 points higher than the next closest participant. In our 20 minute
running time games, she on two separate occasions netted 14 points which was
impressive in itself before she outdid that strong scoring outburst and dropped
an event high 22 points in her last game. (Game Blue 35 vs Pink 31) She has the ability to hit
the open three as well as get by her defender off the bounce, and get to the
rim. She has a strong body and is not afraid to use it while hitting the boards
and attacking the basket. She was the second most efficient girl in the field. She was one of the best rebounders in the event
grabbing 19 rebounds! Yuleska plays her AAU basketball for the Cape Cod Bulls
Program.
Julia Strachan ’17
North Attleboro High School – One of the best shooters in the field, she
finished as our second leading scorer but by far the most efficient shooter.
She had the highest shooting percentage of the night connecting on 18 of her 31
attempts (59%). No surprise in her event production, Julia has gained a
reputation as one of the area’s best perimeter jump shooters. With her range
from deep, she is able to stretch out defenses and utilize a strong shot fake to
beat her defender off the bounce when she needs to. She should be a very
interesting high school prospect to keep an eye on over the years as she will
surely add to her shooting ability and develop a few more moves to attack the
basket with either hand. Julia plays AAU basketball for one of the top 2017
teams in the Northeast, the Honey Badgers.
Anna Shaughnessy ’18
Bishop Feehan – Point forward who showcased more than just her ability to
finish around the rim (27pts). She was one of the best players at the showcase
to play with her back to the basket, but showed impressive face up game skills
as well. Not only the leader in steals (8), Anna made it to the top five in each
statistical category; assists (11), rebounds (18), and blocks (3). She led her
team to wins in both the semifinals and finals of the Be Seen Showcase which led to multiple votes for her to be MVP. Just a freshman at Bishop Feehan, Anna
looks to have a big impact on the Eastern Athletic Conference. She plays her AAU for MPC Swish.
Carli Koffinke ’17
Franklin High School – Koffinke was the event's
strongest rebounder with 22 boards and finished with a very respectable 42
points (17ppg). With these near double-double numbers Carli provided game in and
game out, she proved that she could be relied on to score the basketball as well as control
the boards. Her anticipation and quick hands on the defensive end brought her
steal after steal, finishing with seven for the event. Carli plays her AAU
basketball for the Cape Cod Bulls.
Carly Surgrue ’17 Westwood High School – Good size
right-handed wing player with the ability to knock down the open three and finish around the
basket. Very strong with her dominate hand and looks confident attacking to the
right off the bounce. Shot over 50 % for the night and finished with 34 points
(13 ppg) and 19 rebounds (7.5 rpg).
