1,000-point scorers and more: Cape Cod Times High School Girls Basketball All-Stars Team

The Cape Cod girls basketball season was well represented in the MIAA State Tournament with nine teams qualifying.

Three teams (Bourne, Sandwich, St. John Paul II) made it to the Elite Eight this season, as opposed to only one team (Mashpee) a year ago, which shows how Cape Cod girls basketball is only getting better.

There are 1,000 point scorers, League MVPs, and even some first timers on this list.

Presenting the girls basketball All-Stars 2023-24 team.

First Team

Paige Meda, Bourne

The shooting guard led the South Coast Conference in pointer per game (20.9) and steals per game (4.8), which led to her being unanimously voted the SCC Most Valuable Player (MVP). She was also fourth in total three-pointers (40), and fifth in assists per game (2.5). Meda reached the 1,000th career point mark in just her junior season. She is a three-time SCC All-Star, a two-time Rick Jalbert All Star, a Cape Cod All Star, and was named the 2024 Winterfest Tournament MVP.

“Paige is an elite two-way player with an extremely high motor,” Bourne head coach Steve Wenzel said. “Her ability to affect the game on both sides of the floor is unmatched. An unselfish player with the ability to get to the rim, shoot from distance, and defend at the highest of levels.”

Jenna Marsh, Cape Cod Academy

The junior forward averaged a double-double of 11.3 ppg and 10.6 rpg, to go along with 2.4 apg. She was also a force on defense with 3.4 blocks per game and 1.5 spg.

“Jenna is a very smart and hardworking player who gives it her all every time she steps on the court,” Cape Cod Academy head coach Morgan Horigan said. “She is a true force, especially around the basket.”

Her most memorable moment was when she recorded her first triple double. Marsh also plays soccer for Cape Cod Academy.

Lili Shanahan, Cape Cod Academy

The junior guard averaged 18.6 ppg, and reached her 1,000th career point this season. She was a force on defense with 6.5 spg, and also averaged 7.7 rpg and 3.1 apg.

“Lili is an extremely talented and fierce player who really makes an impact on the court both offensively and defensively,” Horigan said.

Her favorite moment of the season was hanging with her teammates. Shanahan is also in the Volleyball Club and a part of the Community Service Organization

Chloe Azoff, Dennis-Yarmouth

The senior guard capped off her final high school season with 14.7 ppg, 2.2 apg, 4.4 rpg, 3.2 spg, and 1 bpg. She scored 31 points against Barnstable, which included a D-Y school record of nine threes.

She finished her high school career with 699 points, 84 assists, 209 rebounds, 137 steals, and 42 blocks over 52 games.

“Chloe was a threat from the three-point line all season, and brought intensity to both ends of the floor throughout her career at D-Y,” D-Y head coach Michael Freeman said.

Her highlight of the season was hitting nine three-pointers against Barnstable. When she is not knocking down threes, she likes to weight train. She will be attending Bridgewater State University to study Special Needs Education and continue her basketball career.

Teagan Lind, Falmouth

Lind won the Cape and Islands League (Atlantic Division) this season for the third time. The senior averaged 16.4 ppg, and scored her 1,000th career point in her final season. Falmouth head coach Bob Buscher called her, “one of the top players on the Cape.”

Jordyn Streitmatter, Nauset

The Warriors point guard capped off her senior season with 331 points (16.5 ppg). She scored in double figures in 19 of the 20 games, which included 31 points against Monomoy. She was the leading scorer every single season and finished her career with 753 points.

"Jordyn led the offense on our team,” Nauset head coach Jean Leyton said. “She worked hard on strength and conditioning in the offseason and was able to shoulder the bulk of the offense to keep us in games where others were not able to score."

Her highlight of the season was bonding with her teammates. Although she is graduating, Streitmatter will continue her basketball career at Mitchell College in Connecticut.

Devin Crofford, St. John Paul II

The sophomore averaged 17.8 ppg, 6 rpg, 3 apg, and 3 spg for the Lions, which earned her the Cape and Islands League Maritime Division Co-MVP award.

Marlo Jumper, St. John Paul II

Madison "Maddie" Lawrence

The junior is one of the best two-way forwards, not only on the Cape, but in the state. She averaged 16.5 ppg, 8 rpg, 4.5 blocks for the Lady Knights. She averaged this despite playing less than seven minutes in seven games this year.

“Maddie is a dominant inside player who really doesn’t get the credit she deserves,” Sandwich head coach Mike Barrett said. “Not only can she go left or right, but she has a smooth 17-foot shot, but it's her defense that gets overlooked. Anyone who got by our defenders had to deal with Maddie. Maddie is simply the best post player I have coached and her potential is endless.”

Her most memorable moment of the season was being able to make it to the Elite Eight game in the playoffs.

When she is not on the court for Sandwich, she is working part time at Hometown Juice, playing AAU basketball, or volunteering for the Sandwich Youth Basketball Recreation.

Noriann Wray, Sturgis East

The junior captain averaged 12 ppg and 14 rpg as a point guard this season, and is a three-year starter. She is someone the Storm can rely on as she has not missed a game in all three years.

“She is about half of our offense, and is a staple on defense,” Sturgis East head coach Bob Leavenworth said.

Wray's favorite moment was playing against Nantucket during the season.

"I always enjoy going back to the Island and playing against some of the girls I used to know, since I lived there when I was younger. They’re a very skilled team, and I look forward to playing them each year," Wray said.

Wray is a three-sport athlete and also plays soccer and lacrosse.

Alaina Hines, Upper Cape

The senior guard did everything for the Rams as she averaged 20 ppg, 6 rpg, 4 apg, and 6 spg. Hines scored 34 points in the Vocational Championship game.

“Alaina has become a great player and leader on and off the court,” Upper Cape head coach Andre Smith said. “I feel she is the MVP this year.”

Her highlight was being undefeated in the Mayflower Small League (10-0). She is a three sport athlete that plays soccer and lacrosse for Upper Cape. When she is not playing sports, she likes practicing playing instruments for her local church.

Hines will continue her basketball career at UMass Dartmouth, and will study business, which will be followed by continuing her landscape construction career.

Second Team

Chloe Egan, Barnstable

The junior point guard was one of the leaders for the Red Hawks.

“Chloe has the speed, agility, and power to be a confident point guard who can shoot from the outside, as well as take the ball to the basket,” Barnstable head coach Mia Crawley said. “She draws many fouls with her drive and makes most of her free-throws. She is a strong all around player.”

Her highlight of the season was beating New Bedford in their home opener by one point, and the team bonding together over the big win.

Molly Gleason, Barnstable

The junior shooting guard was one of the offensive leaders for the Red Hawks.

Her highlights of the season were hitting the winning shot against New Bedford, and scoring 34 points against Plymouth North.

Gleason is a three-sport athlete as she plays volleyball (League All-Star), and does track and field. She is also a part of the Cape Cod Juniors Volleyball, National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society, Peer Leadership, and is a Peer Mediator at Barnstable.

“On an undersized team Raeghan plays power forward against the other team’s bigs,” Coach Wenzel said. “In the second half of the season, she became the go to post scorer for Bourne and defensively emerged as the top rebounder and rim defender. She has limitless energy and passion for the game, and can play and guard all five positions.”

Her most memorable moment was when Bourne made it to the Elite Eight. Blake also plays AAU basketball.

McKinley Wenzel, Bourne

The junior guard averaged 10.7 ppg (10th in the SCC), 2.6 apg (fourth in the SCC), and 30 total threes (ninth in the SCC). She is a three-time SCC All-Star, two-time Rick Jalbert All-Star, and a Cape Cod All-Star.

“McKinley is an unselfish team player with the ability to shoot from distance,” Coach Wenzel said. “McKinley is a disruptive defender who leads the top of Bourne's defensive attack, and is a high level transition player who can finish at the rim. She is a top level two-way player.”

Gianna Lubash, Cape Tech

The captain sophomore forward was the only returning starter. She averaged 12 rpg to go along with 5.6 ppg. Lubash was named a Mayflower and Cape Cod League All-Star. One of her best games came against South Shore Voke as she finished with a double-double of 10 points and 15 rebounds. She has 181 points, 437 rebounds and 62 assists for her career so far.

Addison Sundby, Cape Tech

As a freshman, Sundby averaged 12.8 rpg and added 4.8 ppg and 2.2 apg. Her best game was against Bristol Aggie with 14 points,16 rebounds and four assists. Sundby was named a Mayflower League All-Star.

“Addison has come to our team just this year, and from the start of the season, earned her right on the starting five of the varsity team,” Conti said. “She is a dominant forward and center and can take on the guard position if needed.  Addison is an asset on the court and to the team. The coaching staff is lucky to have her as part of the program.”

Siena Lauze, Dennis-Yarmouth

The junior guard averaged 11.7 ppg, 2.1 apg, 4.1 rpg, and 2.6 spg. She had a career high of 26 points to go along with six steals against Nauset. Lauze has 464 points, 85 assists, 178 rebounds, and 128 steals for her career so far.

“Siena is often the fastest player on the court and used that to her advantage flipping turnovers into points on the other end,” Freeman said. “Siena was a player opponents had to always account for on both offense and defense.”

Lauze's favorite moment was playing in the Cape Cod All-Star game. Lauze all does track and field and cross country.

“Jaylene excelled on both ends of the floor in her junior season for DY,” Freeman said. “Jaylene rounded back into form a month into the season.  Jaylene is one of, if not the best, perimeter defender on Cape Cod, all while orchestrating the offense from the point position.”

Her highlight of the season was the bus rides to games and getting "hype" with her teammates. Pires also plays AAU basketball.

Hailey Lynch, Falmouth

Lynch was the second leading scorer for the Clippers team as a junior guard. She scored 20 points against Springfield in the MIAA Tournament, which was her favorite moment of the season. When she is not on the court, Lynch is working at Anejo.

Willow Lajoie, Falmouth Academy

The sophomore center averaged seven rpg and was a defender for the Mariners.

“Willow isn’t required to score,” Falmouth Academy head coach Scott Lajoie said. “We rely on her to rim protect, rebound, and run the defense. She is also a deft playmaker, with nice assists to her teammates from inside and outside the key.”

Her most memorable moment was a game against Sturgis West that went into overtime.

“The team really pushed for the win and supported each other to it,” Willow Lajoie said. “The game, energy, and atmosphere proved why I play the game and why I’m so proud of the team I have.”

“Maddie is an exceptional talent, athlete and leader for her peers,” Nantucket head coach Raf Osona said. “On the court she is always the hardest working player on the floor and affects the game on the offensive and defensive end. She was the cornerstone to our team's success this year, and has yet to reach her potential.”

Raegan Dillon, St. John Paul II

Dillon finished with seven ppg, seven rpg, and three spg in her sophomore season.

Adding her low post defense this year really brought out how valuable her physical play is.  As she continues to grow, I see Aubrie’s adding a few more tricks making her game better and better.”

Schwager’s favorite moment was making it to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history.

Schwager is also a three-sport athlete and plays soccer and lacrosse. She also is in the Key Club and on the unified volleyball team.
