In the first edition, KDJ honors:

Ursuline star Sophie Nascimento as she has her team off to a strong start. Nascimento is signed to play at Sacred Heart University.

Another Sacred Heart commit, Kristen Phelan of Tappan Zee, is also a “5 Star” recipient this week after taking her team to a 4-0 start.

Taylor Green of Pelham has her team at 5-0. Lottia Barnes has Suffern at 3-0, highlighted by her buzzer-beating 3 pointer to defeat Pearl River. And the final star was split between a pair of recent 1,000-point scorers in Julia Scott of Albertus Magnus and Kendall Konigsberg of Blind Brook.
