Trio of Foothills EST All-Stars Take Home All-League Honors

Last year's 1st annual EST girls summer showcase league featured 3 regular participants & 1 alternate from the Foothills Council. All 3 of the regular participants received all-league honors this year. Congrats to those 3, listed below!

All-EST 2nd Team Nina Fedullo (Amsterdam 2017) - Foothills MVP, Foothills South 1st Team
All-EST 1st Team Lucy Tougas (Glens Falls 2017) - All-Foothills 1st Team, Foothills North 1st Team
All-EST 2nd Team Sophie Tougas (Glens Falls 2019) - All-Foothills 1st Team, Foothills North 1st Team

Fedullo was a member of Havoc in EST; the Tougas sisters were teammates for All Day.

In EST, Fedullo averaged 8.83 PPG, which was a 3 way tie for 8th. That led a very balanced Havoc team in scoring average (by 1/100 of a point). Her season high was 13, and she was consistently their leading rebounder when in attendance. Her scoring totals exploded for Amsterdam this year, and she etched her name at the top of the record books multiple times. She averaged 19.5 PPG with a season high of 37, and her rebounding totals were consistently in double-digits - to the tune of 11 double-doubles this season. Her season total of 444 points set a single-season record for Amsterdam girls hoops, and not only did she set the career scoring mark at Amsterdam as well (with a year remaining to pad that number), Nina became Amsterdam girls' hoops 1st ever 1,000 point scorer. She's currently sitting at 1,059 points. In fact, the only scoring record at Amsterdam she doesn't hold is the single game mark - which she was 4 points shy of.

Lucy Tougas was instrumental to All Day's eventual championship success in EST last summer. Although she averaged just 6.6 PPG (season high 14), she consistently led All Day in rebounding from the PG spot and was a near 10 assist guarantee; the driving force behind a team that featured 3 of the league's top 4 scorers. She showed that this winter, along with further scoring ability for Section 2 Class B champion Glens Falls. Lucy averaged 14 PPG, 9.5 RPG, and just under 8 APG - including a huge January where she averaged just under an assist shy of a triple-double. Although she's known as more of a facilitator, her career scoring total is approaching 900 - and the Glens Falls girls' scoring record of just over 1,200 is within range.

'Little' sister Sophie Tougas turned into a big contributor as her confidence grew in EST last summer. She averaged 8.5 PPG (season high 17), culminating in a 13 point 1st half outburst in the championship game. Her 102 total points was good for 5th in EST. Her game went to the next level this winter, averaging 18.2 PPG (season high 30) and 10 RPG exactly, a number that spiked in playoffs with rebounding totals of 21, 15, and 14 in consecutive games. If big sister breaks scoring records, little sis will be hot on her heels almost immediately after.

Congrats to these 3 standout athletes - all with time left to go in high school!
