CADET, GEORGE TO JOIN WOMEN'S BASKETBALL IN 2007
1-12-07
CALDWELL, N.J. - Elmont Memorial High School guards Stephanie Cadet and
Abena George have signed National Letters of Intent to play women's
basketball at Caldwell College, Cougars' head coach Linda Cimino
announced. Both will enroll at Caldwell College in the fall of 2007.
Cadet and George helped Elmont Memorial win two conference titles and make
two appearances in the Nassau County championship during their careers. With
Cadet and George in the backcourt, Elmont, under head coach Gregg Petrocelli,
compiled a record of 38-4 over the past two seasons.
"Both players have played on a high school team that is one of the most
respected programs in New York," Cimino said. "Elmont is a top team on Long
Island and will look to compete for the Long Island championship this year.
They are very well-coached and disciplined, and both will make an immediate
impact here at Caldwell."
Cadet, a 5-foot-6 point guard, was named all-Nassau County as a junior after
averaging 12 points, five assists and three steals per game. "Stephanie is a
floor leader who will excel running our offense," Cimino said. "She is a
good passer and an excellent shooter from the perimeter."
The 5-foot-5 George earned all-conference accolades last season, averaging
nine points and six assists per contest as a junior. A strong defender,
George also swiped four steals per game. "Abena is one of the fastest
players I've seen on the court," Cimino said. "She will contribute on the
defensive end, and will be looked upon to guard our opponents' top players."
Currently, the Cougars are 5-6 overall and 4-4 in the Central Atlantic
Collegiate Conference midway through Cimino's first year as head coach.
Caldwell will lose four seniors, including three guards, at the end of this
season.
