U16 Tournament

[Dillon77]

I knew that Caroline Ducharme was a strait A Ivy League caliber student but did not know that Sonia Citron also had those kind of academic accomplishments- Good for her!

BTW in case anyone else is wondering Missouri is probably most interested in Saylor Poffenbarger because her mother is a Missouri alumni.

According to her bio on the U.S. National site, she's achieved at 95.6 average at The Ursuline School. Her half-brother, Kenneth, played at Princeton (Dad was a Bradley hoopster).

BTW, Payton Verhulst is no slacker either, with a 3.75 GPA. That trip to Chile was the first time outside of the U.S., so she made it a keeper.
As for blood ties -- darn, her mom played hoops at Duke (Triad, are you listening? )
