Freire scored 15 points, sinking a three and converting 4-of-6 free throws, to help the Spartans hold off Pompton Lakes and advance to the Passaic County Tournament semifinals. For the week, she averaged 12 points and 5 rebounds and shot 75 percent at the foul line.

Layla Giordano

Old Tappan senior forward

Giordano erupted for a season-high 28 points in a win against Teaneck that allowed the Golden Knights to tie for first place in the Big North National. Although Teaneck turned the tables in the Bergen County semis, she still finished the week averaging 21.3 points and 6 rebounds in 3 games.
