CICERO -- The fact that Cicero-North Syracuse basketball star Breanna Stewart is a third year varsity player would be impressive enough for a senior. But the fact that she’s only a tenth grade student suggests a very special remainder to her high school career, and a bright future ahead.
This week’s Dunkin’ Donuts Action News Athlete has already received word that she is being watched by a number of Division I recruiters, and her stock may have risen when she played for Team USA over the summer in a tournament in Mexico.
So far this year, with the Northstars, she’s averaging over 21 points per game, 12.2 rebounds and 6.1 blocks and helped the team to a 8-3 record. She says she’s watching college basketball on TV all the time to get down the timing of the game, and to dream a little bit of what it might be like playing D-I basketball.
Stewart does admit, however, that she’s in no rush to finish high school, and that there’s a lot more to accomplish for her and her team before she moves on.
