Rachel Capua, Jackson Memorial

One of the shore's top guards and one of the Lady Jags best finished her career in fine fashion.  Capua scored nearly half her teams points and finished with 26 and 5 steals in a loss to powerful SJV.  Two nights later she had 21 in a win over Rumson and saved her best performance against Manchester on Saturday.  While Adams grabbed the headlines it was Capua who kept Jackson in the game, finishing with 36 and 5 rebounds.
