Migliore Takes MVP, Present & Future Stars Shine in Girls All-League Selections

With Empire State Takeover's 1st summer in the books, time to recap with some all-league lists. These lists were compiled using a number of different factors. Some of these included:

- Skill/ability on the court & value to the team
- Dependability, consistently attending
- Comments from college coaches that attended - the more college coaches said they liked you, the better you fared

The all-league list features some big names that were to be expected, including a Division I commit and a few who have already attracted serious interest or have offers on the table from Division I programs. Along with that are a few names that have flown nder the radar to most before this summer hit, and some real youth to add to it, which shows that hoops in the region (and hopefully this league) will be sure to remain strong for an extended period of time. All Day, the girls champion, placed two 1st team selections (including the league MVP), two 2nd team selections, and an honorable mention pick. Outwork, who was the top seed heading into playoffs and the league's strongest group for much of the season, saw a league high 6 people on the lists - two 1st teamers, one 2nd teamer, and three honorable mention selections. Sections 2, 3, 9, and 10 are represented, along with girls that play high school ball in Vermont & Massachusetts. List below: individual writeups coming along through the next few days!
