Akiem’s Long Island 2025 Players to Watch (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Empire State is known far and wide as a basketball state – and the counties of Suffolk and Nassau are no exception to that rule.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the 2024-25 season on the horizon, Prep Girls Hoops New York is taking a closer look at names across Long Island that hoops aficionados will want to keep an eye on as said season unfolds.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are plenty of names across Nassau and Suffolk that will be looking to close out their high school careers with exclamation points – and those that are just getting started. We will take a look at all of them over the next several days.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["413741"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66eda5590a1da"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fitzpatrick being an even six feet plus being a combo guard will surely have her on the radars of many a collegiate program. In the girls game, when one thinks six feet, coaches and scouts usually think about fours and fives, but Fitzpatrick has no problems thriving in the backcourt. There is a reason as to why Fitzpatrick rose to No. 15 in the Prep Girls Hoops New York rankings. The bread and butter of Fitzpatrick's game is her ability to knock down shots from behind the arc, but a midrange jumper is also part of her offensive arsenal. Her ability to locate her teammates is another part of her complete game – one that earned her offers from Coastal Georgia, Chicago State and Pace University. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["413723"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66eda5590a24f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We move from one combo guard in Fitzpatrick to another in Dulin. She has played her club ball with Team Exodus and has her sights set on one more noteworthy season sporting the Baldwin Bruins colors. Dulin understands the art of setting up an offense in a halfcourt set and can keep defenses guessing by either connecting on a midrange jumper or by attacking the basket. Dulin has no issues going at a sea of opposing defenders and also has no issues drawing contact to get to the free throw line. Look out for her if she has the rock behind the 3-point arc because she knows how to convert her long range attempts as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910098"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66eda5590a292"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In recent seasons, the Bulldogs of North Babylon have been one of the more winningest programs on Long Island – if not in all of New York State. McKay will be returning for one more go-round in the North Babylon signature blue before taking her talents to Division II New Haven and coach Debbie Buff. McKay reached the 1,000-point plateau last season in a victory over Lindenhurst. An All-Long Island recipient from last season, one can see why she was on the Chargers' radar. McKay's extensive skillset makes her poised to finish her high school hoops career with one major exclamation point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='382701' first='Sofia' last='Kammas']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"12124","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Mary's","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Exodus","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66eda5590a326"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Once upon a time, Kammas wore the uniform of Long Island Lutheran, a nationally-recognized girls basketball program. Kammas has since transferred to St. Mary's and she will be playing her collegiate ball at Adelphi. Her AAU career included a stint with [program_tooltip program_id='714714' first='Long' last='Island Renegades'] as well as one with Team Exodus. Kammas has the height of a four or a five while being able to operate efficiently in the backcourt as well. That height advantage she presents can come in useful especially when looking to corral rebounds. There is a reason as to watch Kammas was placed on our watchlist of our 2025 rankings.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
