“I had most of my contact with coach Hannan during the recruiting process, but it’s good to know that coach Gaba will also be on the staff there,” added Keenan. “I feel that with the promising basketball program and the great academics that Lafayette checks a lot of boxes for me and I’m happy to have the college decision behind me now as I look forward to my senior year at Caldwell where we certainly have county and state championship hopes!”

NOTES- Among Keenan’s United U-17 AAU teammates this summer were rising senior guards Tatum Sharpe and Elizabeth Lyons from St. John Vianney, and the graduated Brearley of Kenilworth standout Briella Soad…Caldwell will return a wealth of talent off last season’s 27-3 team, including veteran junior starters Fallon Fiore, Elena Kearns and Aaliyah Rodriguez. Keenan will be the lone senior on the roster with her mom, Amanda Keenan, continuing to head the Chiefs coaching staff….Addy is once again playing soccer this fall at Caldwell along with Fiore and sophomore basketball player Scarlett Schlomann…Keenan was an SC first-team All-Essex selection last winter after averaging 18. 6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 4.0 steals per game while leading the Chiefs to the semifinals of the Essex County Tournament and a berth in the overall Group 2 state final vs. Manasquan. Caldwell also shared the Super Essex Conference-American Division title with West Orange.
