EST Girls Top 10 and The Best of The Rest; Week of 1/18/16
So if you've been following the blog, you've seen the daily Top 10 lists of those who participated in the EST summer leagues. Time for a weekly top 10!
**This list was compiled using the cumulative performances from Monday (1/18) through Sunday (1/24). Daily Top 10 lists were compiled before this combined rundown. The greater amount of appearances in the daily Top 10, the higher their appearance. Between players who made the same amount of appearances in a daily list, precedence was placed to those who appeared higher on the list(s).
10.) Lauraine Joensen (6'2" F; Northampton (MA) 2017) - Lauraine makes this list despite her team only having one game during the week. She made good use of it, having the top performance of Thursday with a game high 23 point, 19 rebound night in a 54-36 W over Minnechaug.
9.) Claire Sehring (5'9" F; Utica Notre Dame 2018) - Notre Dame's standout sophomore had a pair of strong outings over the course of the week, starting on Tuesday, where she finished with a team high 11 points, 7 rebounds, and 8 blocks in a 46-36 W. She followed it up with another W on Friday, scoring 16 points - 2 behind her sister Kate, who also was in EST.
8.) Natalie DiSalvo (5'10" G/F; Canton 2016) - Now it picks up. The All-EST 2nd Team performer - who was also a Class B All-State 2nd Team pick last season - finished with game highs of 22 points in a pair of wins over the course of the week. The first was in a 75-23 blowout, and the second came in a 47-43 W on the road over Class AA Rome Free Academy; a quality win for a Golden Bears squad currently ranked #13 in the NYSSWA Class B polls.
T-6.) Olivia Marshall (5'10" F; Stockbridge Valley 2017) - It was quite the week for Marshall, who's had quite the season in general. She averaged 16 PPG, 11.5 RPG, and 9 BPG in a pair of wins; the latter being a game high 19 point, 14 rebound, 10 block, 3 steal performance in a 50-49 W that gave her Friday's top performance. On Tuesday, she finished with 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 blocks in a 56-38 victory.
T-6.) Saeeda Abdul-Aziz (5'11" G/F; Mohonasen 2017) - More of a guard, but I'll throw the "F" in position detail because of how much she got from the post in a Wednesday victory over Cobleskill. The All-EST 1st Team standout's game high 25 point, 13 rebound, 5 assist, and 5 block performance in a 50-43 W earned #1 for the night. She also contributed 21 points, 9 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks in a Friday L to Bethlehem.
5.) Lucy Tougas (5'10" G; Glens Falls 2017) - Another near triple-double machine, like Marshall, except the point guard is always approaching with assists instead of blocks. Tougas averaged 13.5 PPG, 9.5 RPG, 8.5 APG, and 3.5 SPG in a 2-0 week for the Indians, currently ranked #14 in the NYSSWA Class B polls. The All-EST 1st Teamer finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals in a Monday victory, then followed it up with a game high 14 point, 9 rebound, 10 assist, 3 steal night in a 54-32 W on Thursday.
4.) Liz Millea (5'6" G; Cooperstown 2016, Adelphi 2020) - Millea made up for a rough night to end the week prior with 2 standout games in the current week. She pumped in a pair of game highs in big Ws for New York State's top ranked Class C team. It started with a 24 point game in a 62-48 W on Wednesday, and she followed it up Saturday with a 29 point night - 15 coming from behind the 3 point line - in a 53-35 W over Milford. She added 6 steals in that game, with the Hawkeyes playing without the services of standout sophomore Julie Ford.
3.) Danielle Migliore (5'7" G; Frankfort-Schuyler 2016; St. Bonaventure 2020) - The inaugural Empire State Takeover girls' league MVP didn't get the top spot this week, but she certainly made a case for it by ending the week with a bang. Following a Wednesday blowout where she pumped in a game high 30 points (5 fewer than Frankfort's opponent as a whole), she finished with a game high 34 points, 15 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks in a 64-56 W over Sherburne-Earlville. The rebound and steal totals were also team highs.
2.) Shiane Irwin (5'5" G; Poland 2017) - One of a pair of girls who made 3 Top 10 appearances over the course of the week, Irwin was a model of consistency for one of NYS' stronger small-school teams. She started off with a team high 17 points, 3 assists, and 4 steals in a 62-44 W Wednesday. Irwin followed it up with strong back-to-back performances; a game high 22 points in a 66-39 W, followed by a game high 23, along with 5 steals, in a 52-51 road L to Lowville. This coming week could be a milestone week for her; the Post-Standard statistical database has Irwin at 975 career points, with 3 games on tap as well.
1.) Rebekkah Dean (5'9" G/F; Mekeel Christian Academy 2018) - Not only did Dean hit the Top 10 lists 3 times this week, she peaked one of them.

Dean pumped in 24 points - which tied for a game high with friend & EST Outwork teammate Lyndsey McCoy - in a 53-46 W over Middleburgh Tuesday. She followed it up Friday with a game high 25 point, 16 rebound performance in which she outscored their opponents on her own, and had 19 points (another game high) & 13 rebounds in a 40-31 W over Ichabod Crane the day after.

First, some solid performances that didn't make the Top 10 cut, separated by section:
Section 2
- Ava Fitzmaurice (Greenville 2018) finished with a team high 13 points in their 54-44 L to Hudson.
- All-EST Honorable Mention Liv Allrich (Ballston Spa 2016) finished with a team high 17 points in their 58-43 L to Guilderland. Fellow All-EST Honorable Mention Jordan Hipwell (Ballston Spa 2017) added 11.
- Maddie Chudy (Saratoga Springs 2016) finished with a team high 15 points in their 61-41 W over Schenectady. They picked up 13 apiece from backcourt partners Kerry Flaherty (2019) and Dolly Cairns (2020) in the W, as well. With an additional 4 from Nakaela Elliott (2016), 45 of their 61 points came from girls that at least made an appearance in EST.
- Kelly Pine (Hoosick Falls 2017) chipped in with 12 points in their runaway 57-27 W over Stillwater.

- Shyla Sanford (Shaker 2018) finished with a game high 13 points, including 3 threes, in their 45-33 W over Troy.
- All-EST 2nd Team Grace Heeps (Columbia 2019) ran the show effectively in a 59-48 W over Averill Park. The freshman standout had just 6 points, but filled the stat line in rebounding, assists, and steals categories with coaches from Division Is Dayton and Hartford taking in the action.
- Emily Erickson (Tamarac 2019) had a team high 14 points, including 12/16 from the line, in their 55-46 OT loss to Hoosic Valley.
- Emily Padalino (Albany Academy for Girls 2016) pumped in a game high 25 points in their 60-33 L to Catholic Central.
Section 3
- All-EST Honorable Mention Cassidy Albright (New York Mills 2016) finished with a game high 14 points in their 50-42 L to West Canada Valley.
- Morgan Wolanin (Oriskany 2016) finished with a team high 16 points in their 66-39 setback to Poland.
Top 10 time - really 11, considering there's a tie. This one is spread out pretty evenly, with 5 Section 2 representatives, 4 from Section 3, and 2 from Vermont.
10.) Tie here between a pair of Section 3 sisters. Kate Sehring (Utica Notre Dame 2016) and younger sister Claire Sehring (Utica Notre Dame 2018) finished with 18 and 16 points, respectively, in their 60-45 W over Oneida. Kate's 18 was good for a game high.
9.) Our first Vermonter on the list is All-EST 1st Team Madison Little. The Mount Anthony Union (Bennington, VT) 2017 scored 16 of her team high 19 points during the 1st half in a 59-49 setback to 3 time defending Division I state champions Champlain Valley Union.
8.) Another All-EST 1st Teamer pops in here. Saeeda Abdul-Aziz (Mohonasen 2017) pumped in 21 points and added 9 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 blocks in a loss to defending Section II Class AA champ Bethlehem. Little & Abdul-Aziz are the only two on the list who made it in a losing effort.
7.) The other 802 representative cracks the list here. Emma Carter (Mount Abraham Union 2018) finished with game highs of 16 points and 9 rebounds in their 50-30 W over Vergennes.
6.) Gimme some more Section 3. Shiane Irwin (Poland 2017) pumped in a game high 22 points in their 66-39 victory over Oriskany. If the Syracuse Post-Standard cumulative stats are correct, this puts her at 950 career points with a few games remaining in her junior year.
5.) All-EST Honorable Mention Abby Fountain (Catholic Central 2016) had a strong effort on both sides of the ball and finished with a game high 23 points in their 60-33 W over Albany Academy. This included 3 threes and a 6/7 performance from the line.
4.) Liv Baumann (Guilderland 2017) finished with a game and season high 24 points in their 58-43 W over Ballston Spa.
3.) All-EST 2nd Team Megan Flynn (Hoosick Falls 2016) picked up another double-double, this time contributing game highs of 18 points and 17 rebounds in their 57-27 dismantling of Stillwater.
2.) Rebekkah Dean (Mekeel 2018) had a monster performance with just 6 players in uniform tonight. She finished with game highs of 25 points & 16 rebounds, along with outscoring the other team on her own, in a 67-22 W over Duanesburg.
1.) Section 3 pops back in at the top spot tonight, and it's well-deserved. Even Ice Cube would say it was a good day for Olivia Marshall (Stockbridge Valley 2017), who last night, messed around & got a triple-double. She finished with 19 points, 14 boards, and 10 blocks (all game highs) to go with 3 steals in their 50-49 W over Cincinnatus. This is the athletic 5'10" junior's 2nd triple-double of the season, just another notch on the belt in what's been a record-breaking year for unquestionably the best basketball player to walk the Stockbridge halls. She notched her 1,000th point in late December and is averaging 17.6 PPG, 9.7 RPG, and 7.6 BPG while being the focal point of every team's defense.

10.) All-EST Honorable Mention Adam Anderson (Saratoga Springs 2017) finished with a game high 23 points in their 69-56 W over Burnt Hills. Anderson, one of the Suburban's top performers this year, is averaging 16.8 PPG.

6.) Kory Bergh (Amsterdam 2016) had a game high 31 points in their 83-82 overtime W over Queensbury. The senior averages 23.6 PPG (8th in Section II), and this was his 3rd game scoring 30+ points.

3.) All-EST 1st Team Joseph Girard III (Glens Falls 2019) pumped in a game high 30 points and 12 rebounds in their 65-53 W over Gloversville. The standout freshman hit 5 threes, increasing his season total to 66 (2nd in Section II), and his 32.5 PPG scoring average is good for 3rd in Section II.
2.) All-EST 2nd Team Tyler Lamport (South Kortright 2017), a freshly minted member of the 1,000 point club, finished with a game high 34 points (15 in the 1st quarter), 8 rebounds, 6 assists, and 3 steals in their 75-37 W over Downsville.
1.) This one is partially about the performance, partially about the occasion. Louden Porter (Canton 2017) pumped in a game high 30 points in a massive 58-46 W over rival Ogdensburg. The Golden Bears, a team that has largely been in rebuilding mode for the last few years, finally 'slayed the dragon', so to speak. The standout performance & victory over Ogdensburg, who is almost always the top boys team in Section X, is certainly a noteworthy moment.
Girls

- Kelly Pine (Hoosick Falls 2017) finished with a game-high 15 points, and All-EST 2nd Team Megan Flynn (Hoosick Falls 2016) added 11 points, in the Panthers' 50-42 W over Greenwich. Both average double digits; Flynn leads Hoosick Falls at 14.1 PPG, and Pine is at 12.5.
- Ashley Starzyk (Pine Plains 2017) finished with 12 points in another easy W, this one 63-40 over Coleman Catholic.
Top 10 - EST Players in Action, 1/5/16
There were a decent amount of players in action tonight that donned an Empire State Takeover jersey at Union College during the summer. Scores and stats are coming in - here's a quick list of the top 10 performers, both for boys & girls, that I've come across tonight.
Boys
T10.) Jack Spencer (Rhinebeck 2017) finished with 21 points in their 64-42 W over Millbrook.
T10.) All-EST 2nd Team Ty'Jon Gilmore (Watervliet 2016) contributed a game high 25 points in a losing effort, 52-46 to Catholic Central. He's 1 of 17 players in Section II averaging 20 or more PPG - now sitting at 13th with a 20.7 PPG average.
9.) Kevin Townes Jr. (Our Lady of Lourdes 2017) pumped in 20 points - a career high - in a victory, 75-61 over Mahopac.
8.) Kory Bergh (Amsterdam 2016) ran the show for the Rams and contributed a team high 19 points in Amsterdam's 63-40 W over Johnstown. He's tied for 9th in Section II in PPG (22.6).
7.) Two people - teammates - can split this one. 2015 EST MVP Andrew Sischo (Guilderland 2016) dropped a game-high 23 points in their 66-47 W over Averill Park. All-EST 1st Team Mike Wine (Guilderland 2017) added 15 points, along with filling the rebounds, assists, and steals categories up from the point guard spot in the same game. The two combined were the catalysts of just about everything for the Dutch.
6.) All-EST 1st Team Zac O'Dell (Schalmont 2016) led all scorers with 19 points, 13 in the 2nd half, in their 73-51 W over Ichabod Crane. He added 17 rebounds and 4 blocks to the stat line as well.
5.) Coming off a 44 point performance on Monday, All-EST 1st Team Joseph Girard III (Glens Falls 2019) finished with 25 points in a 70-44 W over Hudson Falls. He is now 3rd in Section II in PPG (32.7), 1st in total points (360), and 1st in 3PM (61).
4.) All-EST Honorable Mention Connor McCart (Hoosick Falls 2016) dropped a game high 27 points in their 63-35 W over Greenwich. He's now up to 8th in Section II in PPG (23.3).
3.) Jared D'Aloia (Stillwater 2017) had a game & career high 31 points, 11 assists, and 6 rebounds in their 87-54 W over Tamarac. He also hit 5 threes, a season high.
2.) Output of the night goes to Josh Gregory (Whitesboro 2016), who pumped in a career high 41 points in Whitesboro's 79-59 W over VVS. The 6'4" wing knocked down 5 threes and went 6/6 from the line. This output has catapulted him into the top 10 in scoring in Section III - currently tied for 9th at 22.3 PPG.
1.) The man of the hour is All-EST Honorable Mention Mitchel Wayand (Stillwater 2016). The sharp shooting senior wing finished with 27 points in their 87-54 W over Tamarac, and the final point - the 2nd of a pair at the free throw line with under 1 minute to play - was his ticket to join the 1,000 point club. After a slow start, Wayand pumped in 20 points in the 2nd half to reach the milestone, 7 coming at the free throw line.
Girls
10.) Claire Sehring (Utica Notre Dame 2018) finished with team highs of 16 points & 11 rebounds in their 53-49 L to Proctor.
9.) Becca Townes (Our Lady of Lourdes 2018) contributed 10 points & 8 assists in a runaway W over Mahopac.
8.) Emily Wander (Bethlehem 2017) finished with a game high 17 points in a 75-12 blowout W over Burnt Hills. This sticks right with her average - tied for 15th in Section II at 17.1 PPG.
7.) Lyndsey McCoy (Middleburgh 2017) dropped 18 points in a 61-34 W over Bishop Gibbons. She is maintaining a scoring average of 16.6 PPG (17th in Section II) despite occasionally getting limited minutes due to blowouts, and is shooting 78% from the line (57/73).
6.) All-EST Honorable Mention Abby Fountain (Catholic Central 2016) tied for the team & game high with 16 points in their 64-29 drubbing of Watervliet. This sticks around her scoring average (15.3 PPG), and a couple more made threes increase her season total to 26 - tied for 6th in Section II.
5.) We'll split the difference here. With multiple Division I coaches in attendance - including for her - All-EST 2nd Team Grace Heeps (Columbia 2019) contributed 12 points & 4 assists in a 69-41 W over Mohonasen. In the loss, All-EST 1st Team Saeeda Abdul-Aziz (Mohonasen 2017) - also with coaches in the house - had a team high 22 points (7/8 FT). She's now 4th in Section II in scoring average (21.5 PPG).
4.) Emily Padalino (Albany Academy for Girls 2016) pumped in a game high 25 in what was a few points away from being a massive upset - but ended up in a 49-43 L to Holy Names. Padalino is 2nd in Section II, averaging 28.1 PPG.
3.) A fun game in the Colonial with top performers on each side that were in EST. Maya Nicholas (Cobleskill-Richmondville 2016) had a team high 16 points in their 54-51 W over Fonda-Fultonville. In the loss, Julianna Taylor (Fonda-Fultonville 2017) finished with a game high 21.
2.) Ava Fitzmaurice (Greenville 2018) pumped in a game high 22 points - her 3rd straight 20+ point game - in a 72-40 W over Albany Leadership. She's currently tied for 12th in Section II at 17.8 PPG, and she's leading the section by a long shot with 37 threes made.
1.) Despite the result, the output is far too much to ignore. The night's eye-popper is All-EST Honorable Mention Jordan Hipwell (Ballston Spa 2017), who went off & pumped in a game high 36 points in their 69-54 L to Colonie. This is her 2nd time in as many weeks scoring 36, and these outbursts have pushed her to a tie for 7th in Section II with 20.3 PPG.
