Three more Section II women's basketball stars have made collegiate commitments in recent days.
Valencia Fontenelle-Posson has committed to Siena, where she'll play for coach Ali Jacques. Fontenelle-Posson was the leading scorer for a Guilderland women's team that had an up & down 2019-20 season.
Shenendehowa's Meghan Huerter and Niskayuna's Olivia Olson will join forces and play for Providence. Huerter opted not to attend Siena, where her father, Tom, Sr, was a star player years ago. Brother Tom, Jr. transferred prior to last season. The question remains, of course, of whether or not Meghan will follow brother Kevin (Atlanta) to the pros after her college days are over.
The downside to these announcements, as I have read & seen over the years, is that for their senior seasons, these athletes will be, for the most part, under greater scrutiny from fans of rival schools who believe that they may get preferential treatment from officials because of the early commitments. However, that's not always the case. These kids work hard to achieve their goals, and if referees decide to give them preferential treatment for whatever reason, that's their decision(s).
Best of luck to all three once they start their college careers in 2021.
