<em><span style="font-size: 8pt">Photo by Franklin Reporter</span></em> The Skyland Conference featured some of the best teams in New Jersey and some of the top ranked players. It was a large conference full of talent from top to bottom. Here are the All-Conference selections from the Skyland. <strong>First Team</strong> <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="134599" first="Keona" last="Schenck"] (2020) | Franklin: </strong>Schneck was an elite scorer this season for Franklin. She set a tone in the season opener with 25 points. This was one of 11 straight double-digit scoring games to begin the season including a season-high 34 points in a win over Hillsborough. Schneck averaged 16.3 points per game and went into double-figures 25 times. <strong>Caileigh Walsh (2021) | Gill St. Bernard’s: </strong>Walsh turned into one of the most dominant forwards in the state. She averaged 19 points and 11.7 rebounds per contest. Walsh was a walking double-double finishing with 21 on the season and had less than 10 rebounds only three times. Walsh will enter her senior season, not only as the top player in the Skyland, but as one of the top players in the state. <strong>Brieann Opdyke (2020) | Belvidere: </strong>Opdyke was a hand full down low for defenders. She had a knack at finishing with contact and getting to the free throw line where she knocked down 138 shots. She averaged 16.1 points per game in her final season at Belvidere. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="134611" first="Christina" last="Dalce"] (2021) | Rutgers Prep: </strong>If Walsh is the top forward in the Skyland, it is not by much. Dalce averaged 14.4 points and 10.5 rebounds during her junior season. In a win over Walsh and Gill St. Bernard’s, Dalce totaled 17 points, 12 rebounds, and four blocks. She is a talented forward who can score at will in the post. <strong>Meghan Pedrani (2022) | Somerville: </strong>Pedrani burst onto the scene as a sophomore with 15.4 points per contest. She was a high-level shooter with great range. Pedrani knocked down 59 three’s which was around the top of the conference. <strong>Second Team</strong> <strong>Onoseta Ufuah (2020) | Franklin: </strong>Ufuah had an ability to take over a game on the offensive end. She was a scorer at all three levels. <strong>Mahogany Jenkins (2020) | Watchung Hills: </strong>Jenkins was a dynamic player in the post who could rebound on both ends. Watchung Hills ran their offense through Jenkins. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="159437" first="Cameron" last="Ward"] (2020) | Bound Brook: </strong>Ward was a big time scorer who went into double-figures in 25 of 28 games as a senior. <strong>Alyson Feeley (2020) | Pingry: </strong>Feeley made a name for herself in the Skyland as a talented forward who could step out and shoot from mid-range or three-point territory. <strong>Sophie Beneventine (2020) | Ridge: </strong>Beneventine was a stat sheet filler for Ridge. She was an all-around point guard who could score the ball or set her teammates up in position. <strong>Third Team</strong> Dani Pescatore (2020) | Hillsborough Arianna McLeod (2021) | Bound Brook Alana Rocco (2020) | Mount St. Mary Bella Cafaro (2020) | Voorhees Carolyn Prevost (2020) | Montgomery <strong>Honorable Mention</strong> Rebecca Phillips (2021) | South Hunterdon Kaylie Favours (2021) | Rutgers Prep Caitlyn Schwarz (2020) | Pingry Catherine Pettegrove (2021) | Voorhees [player_tooltip player_id="159441" first="Taylor" last="Smith"] (2020) | Pingry
