2,204 Points and Nobody in the Emerald City Is Ready For This Wild New York Debate

Alright, Seattle On Tap fam, can you believe what just landed on my desk? Look, I bleed green and blue, living for the roar of Lumen Field, watching every single pitch Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez are seeing right now. But apparently, we're taking a detour to New York's Southern Tier. The numbers coming out of their high school girls' basketball scene are absolutely bonkers. We're talking about a debate for the greatest player in Section 4 history, with 16 state titles notched by teams from that area. It's a daunting task, but we gotta talk about what's being thrown out there.

Stefanie Collins: The Scoring Machine Who Broke Records

First up, Stefanie Collins from Odessa-Montour. Holy smokes, this player checks every box. She dropped a mind-blowing 2,204 career points in high school, which, at one point, was the highest total in Section 4 history. Collins led O-M to a New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class D title in 2001. After that, she took her talents to Division I St. Bonaventure, ranking among their career scoring leaders with 1,421 points. Get this, she even played professionally in the Women's British Basketball League and represented Great Britain in the 2012 London Olympics. Seriously? That's a legend. Makes you wonder if anyone back east is missing that kind of raw talent in their current pro teams.

New York's Other Hardwood Heroes: Dominance and Grit

But wait, there's more. The debate for Section 4's GOAT isn't just about Collins. You've got Cori Drummond from Corning West, a tenacious two-way standout. She led a team that won the NYSPHSAA Class B title in 1995, a bucket away from an undefeated season. She put up 61 points and 26 rebounds in the public schools final four, with 30 points and 16 boards in the championship game. Named Class B Player of the Year as a senior, she finished her career with 1,590 points and 1,055 rebounds before playing at Division I Siena. That's pure grit. Then there's Miranda Drummond from Harpursville, with 1,930 career points. She played in 95 games and won 87 times, leading Harpursville to back-to-back Class C championship games in 2012 and 2013, and a state semifinal berth her senior year. She was a two-time Elite Player of the Year, averaging 26.3 points per game. And don't forget Kiara Fisher from Elmira. Despite a COVID-canceled state tournament and an injury cutting her junior season short, she still tallied 1,324 points with a pass-first approach, averaging 17 points, 8.2 as a senior. What could have been!

So, What's Next For Us, Seattle?

Alright, while folks in New York debate high school hoops, what’s *really* cooking for us, the 12s, right now? We’ve got Sam Darnold under center for the Hawks, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp ready to light up Lumen Field. On the ice, Matty Beniers, Jordan Eberle, and Joey Daccord are battling for the Kraken. At T-Mobile Park, Julio Rodriguez and Cal Raleigh are just getting started on what we all hope is a monumental MLB season. That’s what’s at stake, fam! THAT’S what we’re looking forward to every single night. You can bet I’m ready for *our* next game. Go Hawks, Go M's, Go Kraken!
