PUTNAM — The Putnam Science Academy girls' basketball team has added another recruit, this time from one of the most successful programs in Massachusetts. Sha’raya Haines of Springfield Central has decided to spend a post grad year at PSA this coming fall.
Haines’s arrival follows a stellar senior year where she averaged 12.5 points per game and 8.0 rebounds per game. Her biggest performance came in the State Final against Braintree where she scored 20 points and hit four second half three’s to lead her team to the State title. During her senior year, Haines collected a number of accolades. She was named a Valley League All-Star, Western Mass Division I 1st team and the Mass Live All-Western Mass 2nd team. She was also named the Mass Live Student Athlete of the Week following her performance in the State Championship victory over Braintree.
PUTNAM — Putnam Science Academy secured another commitment this week as Abrial Murray (Newington High School) committed to spending a post grad year with the Mustangs.
The 5-foot, 4-inch guard is coming off a senior year where she averaged 13.8 point per game and led the program to their first CCC appearance in the past decade.
“Abrial is a great addition to our program. She can really shoot it and will be able to play both guard spots for us. Her work ethic and attitude are exactly what I look for in a player and we’re excited to have her,” said Head Coach Derek Marchione.
As a sophomore, Murray earned All-CCC and was named to the All- Herald team before tearing her ACL and missing her entire junior year. However, she bounced back from the injury and went onto to have a very successful senior campaign. She was once again named to the All-Herald and All-CCC teams while also earning Honorable Mention All-State and making Hartford Courant’s Fab 15 Honorable mention as well.
PUTNAM — Coach Derek Marchione announced another addition to the newly start girls’ basketball program at Putnam Science Academy. Melicia Mendez of Weaver High School has decided she will attend PSA for a post grad year.
After having a strong junior season, Mendez missed her senior year due to an injury. During her junior year, Mendez averaged 11.1 points per game to go along with 5.2 rebounds and 2.5 steals per game while being named all to the All-CCC Central Division all star team.
“Melicia is a great addition to our program. She’s a very driven and knows exactly what she has to do to get to the next level,” Marchione said. Mendez also graduated from Weaver High School with High Honors and was a member of the National Honor Society all four years.
