Caroline Segal has been playing basketball for as long as she can remember. 

After growing up having played in the Glencoe Park District, the New Trier Feeder Program and the All-In Athletics travel basketball program, the Glencoe resident headed to play at North Shore Country Day School for her four years of high school basketball.

While her senior year isn’t over yet, Segal will leave the school as one of the best players to ever play in the Raiders’ girls basketball program, especially after becoming only the second player in program history to score 1,000 points Dec. 17, 2019, in a 38-12 win over Parker in Winnetka. Mickeeya (Murray) Harrison, North Shore Class of 2002 is the only other girls basketball player to accomplish the feat. Continue reading →
