Call it a rematch of last year’s Somerset County Tournament Final. Call it an undefeated team looking to pull an upset.
Whatever title you give it, know this: The Gill St. Bernard’s girls’ basketball team battles it out time after time with Rutgers Prep. But in their last 20 meetings? It’s all gone the way of the Argonauts.
Third-ranked Gill is 8-0 on the season, with No. 1 Rutgers Prep coming in at 5-2, with those losses coming by a combined five points at the esteemed John Wall Invitational in North Carolina over the holiday break.
While Mikayla Blakes’ status due to injury is unclear for Thursday’s 5:30 pm meeting in Somerset, but what’s certain is that Gill St. Beranrd’s has a lot of continuity in head coach Mark Gnapp’s rotation.
They’re led by the frontcourt duo of Gandy Malou-Mamel, who’s averaging 16.5 points and 10.9 rebounds per game, while Sidney Quinn chips in 9.9 points and 8.5 boards per contest. Then, on the wing, it’s senior Brooke Baisley with 14.3 points per game and a team-leading 13 three-pointers.
