You could say that Paige Sevrain talks quietly, yet carries a big stick.

Some athletes prefer to let their actions do the talking.

It could be said that Paige Sevrain is of that ilk.

On the basketball court, she wields a big stick in her ability to score, rebound and be a leader by example.

Off the court, she is demure and prefers to talk about other players’ accomplishments and the game in general; anything but about herself or her accomplishments.

With her high school career now over, Sevrain - this season’s Times News/Lehigh Valley Health Network Girls Basketball Player of the Year - can reflect on what she accomplished and how much it meant to the team.

Her first reflection was about how she already misses playing high school basketball. Then she recounted how much fun her teammates were, and how she will miss them when she heads to Bloomsburg University.

Finally, the thoughts turned to not only reaching the 1,000-point milestone, but also to becoming the school’s all-time scoring leader for girls’ basketball.

“Having some time to reflect, I am happy about what I was able to accomplish, and what it meant to the team,” said Sevrain, who helped lead the Tigers to three Colonial League championships and an appearance in districts in all four of her seasons, including a trip to the semifinals in 2020. “We won a lot of games, and it was great to be a part of that.”

That is as much personal hype as you are going to get from Sevrain, who averaged 12.45 points per game this season.

Before Paige Sevrain, there was Gabby and Sydney Sevrain.

The older two sisters played one season together - and so did Sydney and Paige.

The differences between the three were obvious and complimented each other’s skills well.

Gabby had the ability to score, but was astute at finding the open player on the court and getting the ball to her. Sydney was the one who had a way of getting herself open and hitting outside jump shots and draining threes with the occasional drive through the lane. Paige had the size and ability to work down low and battle the other team’s toughest and best defenders – and many times more than one defender – and score her points in the paint.

“I think I started playing in kindergarten, but it didn’t start getting serious until fourth or fifth grade,” said the youngest of the sisters. “I started because I wanted to be like them. We have always been close and if they were doing it, I wanted to be doing it, too.

“It was nice to have all three of us playing basketball because if I ever needed advice, they were there for me. We all had very similar experiences, so we could share what we went through.”

Sevrain is also following her sisters in her college major. All three majored in Biology, with an eye toward going into the medical field.

Gabby headed to Dickinson College, Sydney is at Messiah, and Paige will head to Bloomsburg. Gabby and Paige are studying to be veterinarians, while Sydney is headed toward a career in dentistry.

“We always wanted to be in the medical field because we all want to do something to help,” said Sevrain of the similarities between the sisters.

Graduation will be here soon, and Paige sees it all as bittersweet. She has enjoyed high school and has plenty of friends and teammates that she will miss, but she also knows that the next chapter for her is going to be exciting as well.

“I am very excited,” she said. “It will be a little bit sad because I’ll graduate and be leaving behind my parents, but I’m very excited to see what’s to come. It isn’t too far, so I will be able to visit.”

Sevrain surpassed Sara Jones, from the class of 2013, to become Northwestern’s all-time scorer during districts this past season. Jones finished with 1,246 points, Sevrain completed her high school career with 1,258 points.

“They have all been great to have around,” said head coach Chris Deutsch of the Sevrain sisters. “They are always positive and work hard, and have taken to what we want them to do on the court. They have all brought something to the team that helped us to be successful. Even when Paige was young, we saw that there was something special about her as a player.

“I don’t think any of us predicted she would have as good of a career as she did because those things are hard to predict, but when we got to see her play, it started to become clear that the sky was the limit for her.

“One of the things that strikes me is that between COVID and the fact that she is selfless and gives up shots to get other players involved, she could have scored even more. In fact, at times, we wanted her to be more selfish with the ball, but that’s not her style.”
