Morris Catholic, NJ – August 31, 2023 – Morris Catholic High School’s dynamic basketball duo, the Pauldo twins, are set to light up the inaugural Black Cager Girls Fall Classic. The event will take place on Saturday, September 30, 2023, at Universal Audenried Charter High School in Philadelphia, PA. This premier basketball showcase will feature 16 of the top girls’ teams from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland.

Mya and Mia Pauldo, known for their exceptional skills and undeniable chemistry on the court, have committed to representing Morris Catholic in this highly anticipated tournament. The Pauldo twins’ unique playing styles complement each other perfectly, making them a formidable force on the basketball court. Last year, they combined for an impressive 31 points in the New Jersey state championship game victory.

Mya Pauldo, known as the floor general, orchestrates the game with her pinpoint passes and controls the tempo effortlessly. On the other hand, Mia Pauldo, ranked No. 8 in the 2025 espnW Terrific 25, thrives in the spotlight, making highlight plays and exuding confidence with every dribble.

From their early years dominating against boys in the peewee circuit to competing against girls much older than them, the Pauldo twins have displayed exceptional dedication and talent. Their father, DJ Pauldo, recognized their potential and even converted the family garage into a full-sized basketball court to nurture their skills.

The sisters’ commitment to basketball paid off in more ways than one. Both Mya and Mia have signed Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) sponsorship deals with Puma, joining a prestigious roster of athletes. This partnership with Puma reflects their growing influence and skill in the world of basketball.

Mia and Mya’s journey to excellence continues with their participation in the Black Cager Girls Fall Classic. The tournament will showcase their remarkable abilities and the chemistry that sets them apart. With offers from renowned college basketball programs, the sisters are paving their own path, but their shared goal remains unwavering – to dominate the game together.

Morris Catholic head coach Billy Lovett, a protégé of the legendary Bob Hurley Sr., has been guiding the Pauldo twins with expertise. His focus on team unity and humility resonates with the twins’ philosophy of putting the team first.

The Pauldo Twins are not just exceptional athletes but also social media contributors, engaging with over 11.2K followers on Instagram and more than 3K on TikTok. Their journey, both on and off the court, is inspiring fans and fellow athletes alike.

As they prepare to take the court at the Black Cager Girls Fall Classic, Mya and Mia Pauldo are ready to leave their mark. Their shared journey, determination, and unwavering support for each other make them an unstoppable force in the world of high school basketball.
