Meet 16-year old phenom, and newest member of the

Meet 16-year old phenom, and newest member of the Morristown-Beard girls basketball team, Marge Bouvier. Bouvier is currently a 6-4 sophomore and soon to be rising junior who just enrolled at MoBeard after moving to Florham Park from Pennsylvania (she went to Regis Jesuit in Harrisburg).
.
Here are some ridiculous stats to sink your teeth into:
.
Averaged 26.9 points per game (as a sophomore).
.
Scored 1,743 points in two seasons at RJ.
.
Averaged 7 steals a game this winter.
.
Averaged 12 rebounds a game this winter.
.
She’s already has offers from Stanford, UCONN and everywhere in between (but has yet to commit).
.
And can dunk...which she does often.
.
“This is a huge bright spot for our school while we go through this pandemic”, MoBeard coach Mike Sturgeon said last night in an interview. “Marge and her parents were looking a lot of different schools and they really felt MBS was the best fit for her and we feel Margaret is a great fit for MBS. I’ve already have gotten over a dozen calls and texts from the top Division I college coaches in the country. It’s kind of funny getting texts from these coaches that are on TV. She is definitely a Top 5 recruit in the country.”
.
Margaret is excited to be part of the Crimson as well. “I miss my RJ team but I really like Morristown-Beard and Coach Sturgeon is really nice. I can’t wait to meet the girls. It’s weird, I’m technically enrolled at MBS but haven’t met any of my classmates or teammates yet because of the coronavirus.”
.
Oh, and by the way, Marge has two sisters (Patty and Selma) who are in 7th and 8th grade respectively that also play basketball and are both over 6-foot...and still growing.
.
Get ready Morris-Sussex girls hoops, things are about to get very interesting!
