STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — And now, it’s back to the girls.
A few weeks after we revealed the first boys’ basketball “Head Shots” slideshow of the current high school, we’re now shifting gears and showing off the first girls’ presentation.
This time around, we have a whopping 45 ex-Staten Island girls’ hoopsters dating all the way back to the 1993-94 campaign (check out that lead photo!).
Once again, the current 13 teams on the Island are being featured, as well as St. Peter’s Girls and St. John Villa, both of which have closed.
Some of the players featured were household names back in the day while others were role players.
Why’d we take head shot photos? Well, if a player did something extraordinary and we didn’t have a photographer at a game, we’d give them props by embedding their head shot in a story.
Some of these photos, of course, have never been seen by the general public.
Think you might know somebody? Scroll down to see who made the grade in Head Shots 68 (the photos and players in them were selected randomly).
Enjoy!
