When you have the last name Hidalgo and live in South Jersey, chances are you’re pretty good at basketball. Just like older sister Hannah, now a star at Notre Dame, Judah had an outstanding high school career and became one of the most dynamic scorers in the region.
Hidalgo averaged better than 13 points per game for a Paul VI team that went 26-4, won the Camden County Tournament and went to the semifinals of the state playoffs before being knocked off by a red-hot Camden Catholic team. Hidalgo was a threat from the outside, as he sank 64 three-pointers this season, but could also drive to the basket, hit the mid-range jumper and get to the free-throw line. For his career, the guard scored more than 1,100 points, hit 165 threes and sank more than 200 free throws.
