CHICAGO – So nice, she did it twice. Incoming Notre Dame women’s basketball freshman Sonia Citron was announced as the 2021 recipient of the Gatorade New York Player of the Year. A feat she also accomplished her junior season.
Citron’s senior year stats at The Ursuline School were nothing short of elite. The New York native averaged an impressive 26.3 ppg, 11.2 rpg, 5 apg and 3 spg.
She led the Koalas to a perfect 14-0 record, ending her prep career on a 38-game winning streak.
Citron continues to stockpile achievements and honors. Earlier in the week she was named to the 2021 Jordan Brand Classic, and right before that she qualified for the USA U19 World Cup team.
BEAVERTON, Ore. – The Jordan Brand Classic (JBC), now in its 7th year on the women’s side, announced over the weekend its 2021 roster of high school senior basketball players. Notre Dame’s own Sonia Citron and Olivia Miles continued the Irish legacy in the JBC by both being added to this year’s elite 2021 roster.
The JBC is a celebration of the next generation of basketball stars and features the top high school talent in the country annually. While no game will be played in 2021 due to the global pandemic, the Jordan Brand still recognizes the high school athletes who have remained dedicated to the game and deserve recognition for their talent.
