Last night, sophomore guard Menel Lamadzema scored her 1,000th point against the Greater Lowell Gryphons on an outside 3 point shot. She then went on to continue to score 31 points the rest of the game.
Will Lamadzema catch Meghan Foley's (Class of '16) record of 1,514 career points and become the top scorer ever in Mystic Valley history ? We will soon find out as the season continues please come out and support the Eagles at their first home game against Lowell Catholic on Sunday January 8th.
Menel has been playing basketball for ten years. She is a shooting and point guard.The Eagle Eye was able to ask her a little bit about her basketball career!
Will you pursue basketball in college?
“I hope to play either division 1 or 2 basketball in college”
Has it been difficult balancing both basketball and academics?
“At times it gets really difficult because I also play aau basketball and those practices end at 9:15 so coming home late and having to complete all the homework is very challenging, but other times I find time to do it beforehand, such as in study hall, I try to complete as much of it as I can. I feel like getting comfortable balancing it all now, will help a lot in college”
Do you have a celebrity athlete that you look up to?
“I look up to Kyrie Irving because he is a short guard who can bring the ball up and get past anyone, and can also pull up for the 3 at any time”
