Mercedes Perez is St. Joseph’s Brooklyn’s go-to bucket-getter and floor leader
Perez has emerged as the Bears’ offensive engine, leading the Skyline Conference with 18.5 points per game in the 2024-25 season and pairing scoring punch with strong rebounding and playmaking. She has already shown she can take over games, including a 36-point, 8-for-8 free-throw performance and multiple 30-plus point outings, while also earning repeated conference and writers’ honors. For a team, her value is a high-usage guard who can create offense, hit threes, and carry late-game possessions; the main question is whether you want a shot-creator first, because that is clearly her strength.[2][4]
