Maine-Endwell's Kaety L'Amoreaux heads all-state girls basketball selections
Make it back-to-back first-team all-state selections for Kaety L’Amoreaux.
Section 4’s premier female basketball player, the Maine-Endwell senior has been so recognized in Class A by the New York State Sports Writers Association.
One of four first-teamers from Section 4 this season, L’Amoreaux averaged 27.1 points and 6.2 rebounds for the Spartans and will graduate as the program’s all-time scoring leader. She will attend Fairfield University, a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference member.
Likewise identified as first-teamers are:
** Class D: Madalyn Barrows, Oxford senior who last season was a member of the Class C third team. In 2022-23, Oxford reached the Class D state final and was beaten by Hammond. Barrows eclipsed the 1,600-point plateau in a Blackhawks uniform.
** Class D: Joleen Lusk, a senior from Cherry Valley-Springfield who averaged 20.7 points and 16 rebounds. She moves up from last year’s second-team.
** Class C: Kailey Kalet, Union Springs senior who averaged 17.7 points and 7.1 rebounds for a squad that rolled unbeaten until a five-point state-semifinal loss to Randolph.
Class B selections included a second-team berth for junior Cha Gardner, who contributed 15.7-point and 14-rebound averages to a Newark Valley squad that headed state rankings the season until being ousted in the quarterfinal round of state playoffs by Cortland. This marks a second consecutive second-team berth for Gardner – last year’s in Class C.
Top billing among Section 4’s Class AA lot goes to Elmira senior Jalea Abrams, a 26.8-per-game scorer who was assigned a spot on the fifth team. This marks the third all-state selection for Abrams.
