Continue ReadingThe nominations and honors continue for the Pauldo twins after a spectacular freshman season at Morris Catholic. This time, Mia Pauldo is the one in the spotlight after being nominated for Girls Rising Star of the Year in the USA Today High School Sports Awards.
This comes after a spectacular first year in high school where she averaged 21 points a game for Morris Catholic, who is quickly turning into one of the best high school programs in the state.
Pauldo and her twin sister, Mya, have not just starred for the Crusaders, but highlight a great group of players within the New Jersey Sparks during the AAU season.
Alongside Pauldo include new high school teammate and 6-3 forward Alexis Rosenfeld, fellow rising sophomore and Blair Academy standout Kennedy Henry, and more fantastic players who have stood out immensely on the floor.
The Sparks easily have one of the most complete and most stacked AAU rosters in New Jersey and having the Pauldo sisters heading up that program makes them that much more formidable.
As for Mia, she’s expected to eclipse her production levels from her freshman year, playing on a high school All-American level. The Division 1 offers are coming in left and right for her and her sister.
Once her sophomore year is over, don’t be surprised to see every major women’s college program in the country have an offer set out for the duo.
It you haven’t gotten a chance to see Mia in action, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to do so with No Boyz Allowed coming up in the late summer and early fall.
The AAU season isn’t fully done yet either, so her pure scoring prowess, high level ball handling and insane speed on the floor will be on full display.
She’s the top player in our 2025 prospect rankings for a reason because Pauldo is going to be nothing short of a top-5 or even a top-3 player in New Jersey as a sophomore.
