Opposing coaches would likely agree.

Her numbers back it up.

The results prove it.

Frewsburg’s junior guard averaged 21.3 points, 5.3 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 4.4 steals and 1.8 blocked shots per game on the Bears’ way to a second straight New York State Public High School Athletic Association Class C championship.

Those statistics may not even do justice as to how dominant the Division I college recruit was.

Trocki scored at least 20 points in 17 of Frewsburg’s 26 games.

Her best scoring night came in the NYSPHSAA Class C Far West Regional against Keshequa on March 14 when she went 12 of 19 from the field, including 5 of 7 from 3-point range, and made all eight of her foul shots to score 37 points in a 57-43 win over Section V’s champion. The 37-point total matched her career high established last season in a 67-27 win over Portville.

Against a stacked schedule rarely seen in the Southern Tier, Trocki was at her best against the Bears’ top nonleague opponents.

In Frewsburg’s season opener against eventual NYSPHSAA Class AA champion North Tonawanda, Trocki had 26 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, three steals and two blocked shots.

Against Hornell, the 2025 NYSPHSAA Class B runnerup, Trocki had 21 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals.

In two games against eventual Section VI Class B champion Southwestern, Trocki combined for 46 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 11 steals and five blocked shots as the Bears won comfortably by a combined 51 points.

In early February, in a one-point loss to eventual PIAA District 10 Class 5A champion Cathedral Prep, Trocki etched her name into Frewsburg history when she became the program’s all-time leading scorer with 20 points against the Ramblers to pass Shawna Raymond and Gabby Iuculano’s previous Bears’ mark of 1,566 career points.

During the Bears’ three-game Section VI Class C championship run, Trocki combined for 61 points, 27 assists, nine rebounds, nine blocked shots and eight steals as Frewsburg outscored Maple Grove, Randolph and Wilson by a combined 69 points.

Following her heroics against Keshequa at Finger Lakes Community College, she had a cool 20 points as the Bears coasted past Section IV’s Delaware Academy in the state semifinals.

But Trocki’s best run when her team needed her most may have come in the state final against Greenwich. The Witches led by 13 at the end of the first quarter and by 14 early in the second quarter. With senior Abery Harvey and sophomore Elysse Gruber on the bench with foul trouble, Greenwich’s defensive focus shifted almost entirely to Trocki.

That didn’t stop her.

With 4:40 remaining, Trocki drove to her left and scored inside with her left hand to make it a 12-point game. Nearly two minutes later, Trocki again drove to her left before scoring on a right-handed floater to cut Greenwich’s lead to 10 and force a timeout.

The Witches scored on their next trip, but Trocki answered with a stepback 3-pointer to cut the deficit to single digits. Greenwich again made it an 11-point game, but the Bears closed the first half on a 7-0 run. First, Trocki assisted on sophomore Jaden Jimerson’s three-point play. Then, another Trocki floater made it a six-point game. Finally, Trocki made her third 3-pointer of the first half with just over 4 seconds remaining to make it 27-24 at the break.

With Frewsburg back in the game, a back-and-forth third quarter went the Bears’ way and consistent foul shooting down the stretch locked up a second straight title.

Frewsburg wouldn’t have been there without Trocki, who will go into her final season with 1,796 points. For her clutch play in the state final and a dominant body of work throughout the season, she is the 2026 Post-Journal/OBSERVER Girls Basketball Player of the Year.
