They say all good things come in threes.
For Empire State Takeover girls league champion All Day, truer words have never been spoken. During last week's signing day and the days directly following, three seniors that participated for All Day at different points of the season signed their NLIs to attend and play basketball on scholarship next season.
One has been written about already - read the article about girls league MVP Danielle Migliore signing her NLI here. On the same day, summer league/AAU teammate Samira Sangare signed in Shenendehowa's signing day ceremony, and Cooperstown senior Liz Millea made it official in a ceremony Saturday night.
Samira Sangare, a senior at Shenendehowa, signed to attend and play basketball at Division II Dominican College of the CACC. Already on the radar of a number of schools in all 3 NCAA divisions, her recruitment picked up at the scholarship level during the summer with Albany Lady Stars on the AAU circuit. This culminated in offers coming in from Dominican and fellow Division II Georgian Court, and an incredible fall performance at Spooky Nook in PA only cemented the decision of those offers. She made her announcement committing to Dominican a month ago, on the same day that EST boys league representative Ray Jerome made his commitment to Penn. Read about that here. Samira will come into an opportunity where she may be able to contribute immediately next winter. She played in two weeks of the summer league, balancing a rigorous national AAU schedule along with a high school team summer schedule that was much more time-consuming than the average, averaging 6.3 points per game with a season high of 11.
Liz Millea, a senior at Cooperstown, made it official at her own special ceremony Saturday night at Class C power Cooperstown, signing her NLI to play at Division II Adelphi University of the NE-10. A highly decorated multi-sport athlete at Cooperstown who added a state championship and NYSSWA Class C State Player of the Year accolades to her name in the spring, she has been moderately on the radar of scholarship schools for a couple years. She received light Division I interest along with strong D2/D3 notice while on the circuit this spring & summer with the Syracuse Nets. With three senior guards on the Adelphi roster, Millea will also be jumping into an opportunity where she may be asked to produce right away. Liz came through Union College in late July on the back end of the live period, averaging 12 PPG for All Day with a season high of 15.
Congrats to both Samira and Liz on putting pen to paper and making it official, and best of luck in their senior seasons!
