Andrea Innis

Hudson County player of the year: After leading Secaucus as a forward for two years, 5-10 junior Andrea Innis moved over to point guard, where she still led the team in every offensive category.

“It was definitely different being the point guard, but my team really stepped up and made it easy,” said Innis. “I knew I could count on them to do the job.”

A three-year starter, Innis led Secaucus (21-5) with game averages of 18.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, five assists and 3.8 steals while guiding her team, which started five underclassmen, to the North Jersey, Section 2, Group 1 semifinals. 

“I really was not looking to score,” said Innis. “I was looking to let everyone else score. I am proud that we were able to get so far this year with such a young team.”

After setting the school's single-season scoring record last year with 539 points, Innis is on track to set the school career scoring record of 1,791 points, set by Cory Roesing in 2007. She now has 1,324 points.

“That’s in the back of my mind, but I try not to focus on it," said Innis. "The team comes first. If the team does well, that's all that matters.”

"Andrea has been an invaluable member of our team for the past three years," said Secaucus coach John Sterling. "Her passion, commitment, and work ethic are the main reasons that we had such a successful season.”
