Tricie Caslin, Dartmouth  GUARD
		It was like watching two completely different teams. While she sat on the bench with four fouls in the Division 1 state championship game, Caslin's Indians had no rhythm. A 4-point lead became a 6-point deficit. Back in the game with 4:16 remaining, Caslin and teammate Lauren Goyette netted 9 consecutive points to spark a 62-58 win. For the past four years, Caslin has been coach Jeff Hoyle's spark plug. She has led the team in assists and steals each of the last three seasons. Dartmouth has been to three of the last four South sectional finals, two EMass finals, and capped Caslin's career a victory in this year's state championship.

Jill Anelauskas, Medfield  FORWARD
		Anelauskas became Medield's all-time leading scorer Jan. 18, netting 23 points in a win over Millis. She finished her career with 1,604 points, and was awarded coMVP honors for the second consecutive season, averaging 22 points and 10 rebounds a game in her senior campaign. The Bowdoin-bound captain was a Tri-Valley League first team all-star each of the last four years and led the league in scoring the last three. The Warriors finished 15-6 this season and were ousted in the first round of the Division 3 South sectionals by Coyle-Cassidy. Anelauskas also captains Medfield's soccer team and plays softball.

Sarah Fullmer, Case  FORWARD/CENTER
		Fullmer dominated the post as her fellow Cardinals followed her lead to the Division 3 state championship. Only a junior, the 6-foot-4-inch Fullmer averaged 16.2 points, 12 rebounds, and 4.5 blocks en route to her South Coast Conference MVP selection. On the big stage of UMass-Amherst's Mullins Center, Fullmer posted 29 points and grabbed 18 rebounds, leading Case past Lee, 74-65. She is a three-time conference all-star, three-time Coca-Cola Challenge All-Star and has been named team MVP the last three seasons. She is currently ranked 15th in her class with a 3.5 grade point average and hopes to play basketball in college.

Kelsey Simonds, Cd. Spellman  FORWARD
		Four seasons, four appearances in the Division 3 South sectional final. As easy as it may be to focus on how close Cardinal Spellman has come in the past four seasons, the bottom line is still success. With an aggregate record of 81-17, the Cardinals have been one of the beat teams in Eastern Massachusetts. Anchoring the unit has been 6-foot-3-inch Simonds. A two-time Catholic Central League MVP and one of the most dominant forwards in the state, Simonds has accumulated more than 1,500 points and rebounds in her career. This season, she averaged 20 points, 15 rebounds, and 7 blocks. Next fall she will attend Stonehill.

Elizabeth Tindal, A-B  FORWARD/CENTER
		Tindal, teamed with fellow 6-footer Olivia Nagle, provided the Colonials with one of the most potent frontcourt duos in the state. Tindal's game is based on a combination of finesse and raw power, with great shooting range and strong ballhandling skills. Awarded this year's Dual County League MVP award, she averaged 19.8 points and 12 rebounds as the Colonials finished 18-4, losing to Andover by 2 points in the Division 1 North sectional quarterfinals. Tindal finished her career as a three-time DCL All-Star. Just the fifth girl in Acton-Boxboro history to surpass the 1,000-point milestone, she will attend Harvard.

Tommia Davis, Gloucester  GUARD
		Tommia Davis is talented and charismatic. The Fishermen's junior guard is good enough to be named the Northeastern Conference's MVP and laid-back enough to list sleep among her interests. Davis averaged 17.9 points, leading Gloucester to the Division 2 North sectional championship. In that game, Davis netted 21 points, including what proved to be the game-winning free throws with 6.7 seconds remaining, and added 10 rebounds. Earlier this season, she was named MVP of the Comcast Tournament with 53 points in two wins over Acton-Boxboro and Bishop Feehan.

Shae Fitzpatrick, Lynnfield  GUARD
		Just a junior, Fitzpatrick has been one of the top players in the state the past three years. She has led the Cape Ann League in scoring each of the last three seasons and surpassed the 1,000-point milestone Jan. 17. Fitzpatrick will enter her senior season with 1,238 career points and a great shot at besting Lauren Maney's school record of 1,351 points. After a slow 3-4 start, the Pioneers recovered to finish 15-5, capturing their fifth consecutive league title. Fitzpatrick is a three-time All-League selection and won MVP honors as a freshman. Last year, she clinched the EMass title with four free throws in final 17 seconds..

Lauren Goyette, Dartmouth  FORWARD
		Dartmouth coach Jeff Hoyle chose not to tell versatile forward Goyette that she was 35 points shy of 1,000 for her career going into the state title game. Goyette scored 25 in the Indians' 62-58 win over Springfield Central. Hoyle later apologized for taking her out of some of their easier games. Goyette shrugged off the milestone, and said, "I'd rather have a state championship." More than impressive statistics, Goyette brought winning to the Indians for the last four years. Since she joined the varsity six games into her freshman season, Dartmouth has posted an impressive 84-16 mark and claimed a state championship.

Lauren Hartnett, Walpole  GUARD/FORWARD
		As the only senior for the defending Division 2 state champion Walpole Rebels, Hartnett was looked upon to provide leadership. The senior captain lead the team in points, rebounds, and steals with averages of 15, 10, and 5 as the Rebels captured their second consecutive EMass title. Only a loss to Hampshire in the state championship game at UMass-Amherst's Mullins Center kept her from a combined five state titles in her career. Two of those titles came as a member of Walpole's dominant field hockey team. She will play field hockey for Quinnipiac next year.

Lauren Hood, Ashland  FORWARD
		The senior tricaptain became Ashland's all-time leading scorer (boys or girls), finishing her career with 1,337 points. She was just the second girl in school history to score 1,000 points when she scored 14 in a win over Norton Jan. 7. A four-year starting forward who will attend the University of New Haven on a basketball scholarship next fall, Hood averaged 20 points and 10 rebounds en route to her coMVP selection for the Tri-Valley League. The four-time league all-star netted 36 points in the Clockers' playoff win over Rockland and 26 points in their loss to Case. She also plays for the AAU Wildcats team.

Laniece Langford, Burke  GUARD
		Ranked second in EMass scoring (27.0 ppg) only to backcourt mate and cousin Tamaria Menefee, Langford shined this season, leading the Bulldogs to their 11th Boston City League title in the last 13 years. Langford netted 28 points in the title win over Boston English. She finished her sophomore season with 970 career points. She doesn't play like a sophomore, often choosing to create shots for others rather than force a shot herself. It may come as a surprise to hear coach John Rice say she could be his best player ever, considering the program has produced several top college players.

Justine Lyons, Reading  GUARD/FORWARD
		Lyons has come a long way in her high school career. As a promising freshman she showed flashes of things to come in limited playing time. When she came back for her sophomore season coach Kim Penney was amazed by her progress. A better ball handler and shooter, Lyons found herself in the starting line up where she created match up problems as an athletic center. She earned her first Middlesex League All-Star selection. Penney then elected to move her to the backcourt where she thrived, earning two more all-star selections and a league MVP award. Lyons broke the 1,000 point mark this winter after averaging better than 20 ppg. She will attend St. Anslem's.

Lauren Orlando, Peabody  FORWARD
		Impressive as her basketball resume may be, it pales in comparision with Orlando's involvement in the community. In addition to her work at Brooksby Retirement Community, she has been involved with the South Peabody Playground Project, Cancer Walk, Haven for Hunger, Salvation Army, and the Catherine House. She's volunteered at the Future Stars Clinic, and served as assistant religious Education instructor. That being said, Orlando is a four-time Greater Boston League All-Star, leading the Tanners to the Division 1 North final and the last three GBL titles. She will attend Brandeis.

Sheylani Peddy, Melrose  GUARD
		Peddy showcased her talents in the second half of the Division 2 North sectional final, scoring 13 points down the stretch, nearly carrying her team to the EMass final. Locked in a one-on-one duel with Gloucester's Tommia Davis, Peddy came up one shot shy as her desparation layup rimmed out at the buzzer. Gloucester won, 52-51, but Peddy laid the ground work for great things to come. In a Feb. 8 game with Woburn, Peddy scored 36 points and added six assists. A sophomore, she was named Middlesex League MVP. Her name has been linked to several top collegiate programs.

Bethany Plasski, Durfee  GUARD
		Plasski graduates from the Hilltoppers with an impressive resume and what is sure to be a long-lasting legacy. The two-time Big 3 MVP netted 1,776 points in her career, tops among all girls and third overall behind Chris and Mike Herren. She has been named team MVP each of the last four years. This season, Plasski averaged 22.3 points, 4.6 assists, and 6.1 rebounds per game. She was a McDonald's All-American nominee and is an honor roll student. A complete athlete, she is also a four-time Big 3 All-Star in soccer. She will play basketball at Assumption next season.

Susan Downer, Central Catholic  DIVISION 1
		Stuck in the shadow of Merrimack League rival Andover, the Central Catholic team entered the season with a chip on its shoulder. With four returning seniors having experienced the frustration of consecutive tournament losses at the hands of the Golden Warriors, Downer's squad was hungry. After capturing the league championship, revenge was theirs in the Division 1 North semifinals when the Red Raiders dropped Andover, 57-46. Two days later, they captured the North title with a 58-49 victory over Peabody at Tsongas Arena. Downer described this year's team as, "an exceptional group who personify what a team is. A coach's dream come true." The Raiders fell in the EMass title game to the red-hot Dartmouth Indians, 51-50, finishing the season with 21-3 mark. Downer was named a Globe All-Scholastic in 1987 when she was a 5-foot-9-inch senior forward at St. Mary's High School.

Stacy Bilodeau, Walpole  DIVISION 2
		Two years ago, Walpole was rebuilding after a 6-14 season. The team jelled and Walpole High soared to the state championship. With all but two players back (one starter, one reserve), the Rebels were poised for a run at back-to-back championships. After capturing the Bay State Conference title and steamrolling through the South sectionals, Walpole advanced to the state final for a rematch with Hampshire Regional. This time the Rebels had no answer for the aggressive Hampshire squad, and lost, 48-37. Bilodeau was named Bay State Conference Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year. In three years with the school, she has posted a 50-19 record. She is a Walpole graduate (1994) and attended James Madison University (1998). Bilodeau's Rebels lose only All-Scholastic forward Lauren Hartnett to graduation, so Walpole can be expected to be a contender again next season.

Tony Martin, Case  DIVISION 3
		It was a season of firsts for Case. The Cardinals posted a 14-0 conference record for their first South Coast Conference title. Their 25-1 mark is the best record in program history. With a 74-65 victory over Lee, Martin's team captured the school's first girls' basketball state championship. "This is a group that Swansea, Mass., will always remember as a hard-working team with great chemistry," said Martin. In four years at the helm of the Cardinals, Martin has a 78-17 record. He was named the 2001 SCC Coach of the Year and in 1999 was awarded Eastern Massachusetts Soccer Coaches Association Division 2 Coach of the Year honors. Martin played baseball and basketball at Rhode Island's Tiverton High School (1985) and attended Southeastern Mass. University. He enjoys playing acoustic guitar.

John DePasquale, Ursuline  DIVISION 4
		During the early rounds of this year's NCAA Tournament, fans of New England basketball heard how University of Vermont coach Tom Brennan was not only a successful and beloved basketball coach, he was a radio personality. Perhaps the double life is more common than many have realized. If you couldn't catch Ursuline coach John DePasquale on the basketball court as he led the Bears to their first state title, maybe you caught him on WPEP (1570). The John Depasquale Show airs Saturday mornings on the news talk station. Ursuline entered the tournament seeded 12th in Division 4 South with a 12-8 record. The Bears then won six straight tournament games to win the state title, capping the run with a 53-40 win over North champion Whittier Tech at the FleetCenter. DePasquale graduated from Newton Catholic in 1981 and attended Framingham State.
