Ah, what's one more, detailed Paige article, this time as part of her being named the Star-Tribune player of the year for a third time:
By eighth grade, she was a regular in Hopkins’ galaxy of stars. Coach Brian Cosgriff knew he had something special in Bueckers, but it was a game against Elk River that season that convinced him just how good she could be.
“She went either seven-for-eight or eight-for-nine from three. She essentially won the game for us as an eighth-grader,” he recalled. “At that time, [current Boston College head coach] Marisa Moseley was an assistant at UConn. She used to be an assistant at the U. I called her, said ‘Marisa, you’ve got to check this kid out. She’s going to be great.’ I sent them the Elk River film and somebody took a look at her that summer. Geno [Auremma] has been in our gym ever since.”
