School: Simsbury High School.
Academic Accomplishments: On the honor roll all four years of high school, Allie has been accepted into Brandeis University. Allie is exactly the type of player that every first year coach dreams of having, says her basketball coach Sam Rullo. “She leads by example, works hard on every play of practice, and has completely bought into our system. Allie is the type of player that could go out and score 30 points on any given night but she prefers to score 15 points, grab 15 rebounds, dish out 8 assists and shut down the opposing team’s best player. She not only does great individual things, she makes it a point to improve her teammates. That is the sign of someone that is going to succeed not just in basketball, but also in life.”
Sports Played And Positions: Basketball (small forward); volleyball (middle hitter).
Athletic Accomplishments: All-Central Connecticut Conference West Division as a sophomore and a junior; multiple Hartford Courant Fab 15 selections; Fitzgerald’s Athlete of the Week for basketball; Valley Press Player of the Week for basketball; on track to reach the 1,000 point milestone this season (currently at 833).
How You Prepare Before A Game: “I listen to music to get pumped up and focused.”
Most Memorable Moment In Your High School Career: “Making the state tournament for basketball in my sophomore year.”
What Are You Most Excited About This Season: “Being a captain/leader on the team and helping the team achieve the first winning season in over eight years.”
Who Have Been The Most Influential People In Your Life And Why? “My parents because they come to all of my games, are great supporters, and are my number one fans with everything that I do. I would not be the person and player that I am today without them in my life.”
Favorite Pro Or College Athlete: “Ray Allen. I am a huge UConn and Boston Celtics fan and have followed him all the way through.”
College Plans: “I’m headed to Brandeis University to play basketball.”
