PURPLE DIVISION - GIRLS: St. Mary's (Lynn) (MA) -66 Hingham-Red (MA) - 29

As a young kid in the Dominican Republic, Yirsy Quéliz dreamed of one day representing her country on a grand stage. Now, after competing in the FIBA AmeriCup, she can say she accomplished that goal. "I still don’t think it’s real, but I did that and I’m very proud of myself."

One of the all time greats. No surprise that Yirsy Queliz continues to shine. Trevor Hass St. Mary's Spartans Head of School at St. Mary’s Lynn

“St. Mary’s was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I didn’t think my high school career was going to be like that. I’m very proud of what I did individually, and what we did as a group with Coach Newhall, Kellyn [Preira] and Niya [Morgen] by my side.” yirsy queliz
