JORDAN MONEY, senior, St. Elizabeth boys basketball
THE WEEK: Scored a team-high 16 points in a 48-35 victory over St. Mark’s last Tuesday. Added 16 points for the ninth-ranked Vikings in a 78-58 loss at Martin Luther King High in Philadelphia on Saturday.
THE STRENGTH: Shooting is the best part of Money’s game, and that comes from practice. “Every day I get in the gym, I shoot a lot of shots,” he said. “Repetition, form, technique, that’s all I do… I make a lot of crazy shots in practice. I’ve got unlimited range.”
THE COACH SAYS: “He is probably one of the most athletic kids in the state,” St. Elizabeth coach Matt Rubincam said. “He knows the game, works hard, and he’s a team player.”
THE NEW COACH: The Vikings (7-4) are in their first year under Rubincam after longtime head coach Dick Rago retired at the end of last season. “I love what he’s trying to do in this new program with us,” Money said. “We’re all buying into his system. Everything is going well. If we keep up the hard work, we’ll be fine for the playoffs and hopefully, we’ll win the championship.”
THE GAME WINNER: Money hit the game winner – a 10-foot bank shot while falling down near the lane – with four seconds left in St. E’s 57-56 victory over Sanford on Jan. 12. “I’ve hit a lot of game winners in my life,” he said. “Basically, once that moment came in the game, I knew it was time for me to get the ball as a leader of the team. I just made the big shot. That’s what I had to do.”

THE GO-TO GUY: “You always want the ball in his hands,” Rubincam said. “I watched that tape numerous times, and I’m still wondering how he got the shot off. Teams collapse on him, and he’s so athletic and his arms are so long he can still get a good shot off.”
THE CLASSROOM: Money’s favorite subject is Environmental Science. “We study how certain animals and humans affect how the earth is, how we pollute the earth and things we can do to save energy and consume fewer resources,” he said.
THE FUTURE: The 6-foot-4 Money plans to play basketball in college. He is receiving recruiting interest but has yet to decide on a destination.
