Breanna Cavanaugh, selected Warren County Girls Basketball Player of the Year by this writer last March, has enrolled at Rutgers University and is eligible to start playing for the Scarlet Knights following the fall semester of 2016.
She is transferring from the University of California, after suffering a concussion, and will have four years of eligibility at Rutgers.
An Allamuchy resident since kindergarten, Cavanaugh attended Good Shepherd Christian Academy in Washington Township through the elementary grades and then went to Blair Academy, where she was a standout player who drew national attention.
She is the sixth girls’ player at Blair to score over 1,000 points in her career.
In her senior season, she averaged 19.5 points per game, along with 7.8 rebounds, 6.3 assists, and 3.5 steals per game, displaying multiple skills on both offense and defense, along with a team oriented attitude and a strong basketball IQ.
She led Blair to wins in 17 of their last 18 games, as the program won its fifth consecutive New Jersey Prep A state title last season.
She was recruited to play at the University of California, and was going to red shirt (sit out) this season, then decided to come home and now is officially a Scarlet Knight. She has enrolled at Rutgers and will be attending classes in the spring semester.
Cavanaugh, a point guard, will play for C. Vivian Stringer at Rutgers. Stringer has over 900 wins in a spectacular basketball coaching career which began in 1972. Stringer has coached the Scarlet Knights since 1995.
