It seems like extraordinary numbers have been the norm this winter, and these massive single-game outputs are turning into season and career milestones. A few records & milestones have been reached by people that played in Empire State Takeover's 2015 summer leagues, and it's only Christmas. A list below:
- All-EST boys league 1st team Joseph Girard III (Glens Falls 2019) is already breaking records as a freshman. He started off the season setting Glens Falls' single-game mark for threes made in a game, breaking a record previously held by Jimmer Fredette by hitting 10. He followed it up weeks later by breaking Glens Falls' record for points in a game with 52.
- All-EST boys league 2nd team Ty'Jon Gilmore (Watervliet 2016) joined the 1,000 point club this week with a 21 point outing.
- All-EST boys league honorable mention Kobe Lufkin (Argyle 2017) knocked down 12 threes in a game this month in a 44 point outing. The 12 made threes set not only a school, but also a Section II record for most made in a single game. It was 1 short of the NYSPHSAA record, which is 13.
- Chris Boucher (Fort Edward 2016) started off the season with a 55 point outburst, which broke his own record for most points in a game at Fort Edward. He's also scored 50 points a 2nd time this season.
- All-EST girls league 1st team Saeeda Abdul-Aziz (Mohonasen 2017) set a school single-game scoring mark with a 35 point outing earlier in December.
- Liz Millea (Cooperstown 2016) broke her school career scoring mark this week with a 34 point outing. The previous mark was 1,368 points - Millea is now at 1,379 and counting. She already held the records for points in a single game (46) and season (563).
- Emily Padalino (Albany Academy for Girls 2016) joined the 1,000 point club during a 21 point outing earlier in December.
There are at least a few others (that I know of, and there may be more) that participated last summer getting close to 1,000 points and should be on track, barring injury or unforeseen circumstance. They include:
- All-EST boys league honorable mention Mitchel Wayand (Stillwater 2016), near 900
- Zach Hilton (Berne-Knox-Westerlo 2017), over 920
- All-EST girls league 1st team Saeeda Abdul-Aziz (Mohonasen 2017), 965
- All-EST girls league honorable mention Cassidy Albright (New York Mills 2016), 974
- Olivia Marshall (Stockbridge Valley 2017), 865
- Shiane Irwin (Poland 2017), 847
- Natalie DiSalvo (Canton 2016), approaching 800 - averaging over 20 PPG with 15+ games left in season
- Others are possibilities, including Lexi Tubbs (Madison 2016), sitting at 761 approaching the middle of her regular season - and averaging 22 PPG
