Trinity Catholic star Da’Shena Stevens, who is heading to St. Johns, stole the show with 15 points, 14 rebounds, two blocks, three assists, and three steals in the West team’s 99-73 win in Bridgeport on April 12.

Buck did pump in 14 to pace the East, but Stevens showed why she was heavily recruited as well.

“I’ve just grown over the years, whether it was with leadership or whether it was developing my game more,” Stevens said. “I really enjoyed my high school career, I’ve been through so much with my team, and my teammates have been there for me.”

Though Buck spent most of her time covered by AAU rival and future UConn track athlete, Notre Dame-Fairfield’s Candace Williams, Stevens did get a chance to take in the Southington star’s performance.

“She’s a great player,” Stevens said. “She plays tough, but I think we both did.”

Westhill senior Jess Williams, who will play next season at Division II Southern Connecticut, received the Ken Lieberman Hustle Award for her performance. Williams had a game-high 21 points.
