A number of North Jersey-based basketball players have delivered standout performances on the hardwood over the last few weeks. We honor them here with JSZ Game Balls!
Freshman Giraud Notches Season High’s
Nila Giraud’s fourth double-double of the season was her most productive game to date in her freshman campaign. Giraud went off with a season-best 26 points and 10 rebounds to lead Montclair Immaculate past Livingston in the first round of the Essex County Tournament. Giraud accounted for over 87 percent of the vote to win the Week 5 North Jersey Game Ball.
