Eniya Scott Eniya Scott 5'6" | PG Bayonne | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Bayonne
Bayonne won 25 games behind Scott and Make Diawara. With Diawara moving on, Scott will have to take a little more responsibility. She seems up to the task. Scott was extremely versatile as a sophomore. She averaged 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game. She added 18 three’s and over three steals per contest. Scott is best with the ball in her hands but she could play without it as well. She knew how to move without the ball and come off screens. Scott is a gifted passer and will quickly become a top player in the state.

She is a versatile guard that is quick with or without the ball. She can effectively run the break or fill in the lane in the correct spot. Jones is extremely intelligent on the court and this will help at the next level. Jones is a Division I prospect and will have many eyes on her during her final season.
Erika Mercedes Erika Mercedes 5'7" | PG Union City | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Union City
Mercedes quickly turned into one of the top players in the Class of 2022. she averaged 17.7 points and 8.1 rebounds as a sophomore. Mercedes is a do it all player that can get it done on both ends. She knocked down 29 three’s this season and got to the free throw line at a high rate. Mercedes will have two years left and she will perfect her shot. She is an agile player with great ball handling ability.
Daniella Peschetti (2023) | Secaucus
What a year it was for Secaucus. They finished 23-3 behind their guard heavy lineup. They will be losing some key players which will sting but Peschetti will be returning and she is still an underclassman. Peschetti was a key contributor this season. She had the chance to gain experience right away on a good team against strong competition. She is a quick guard with a smooth looking jump shot. There is work to be done but she is a duel-threat guard that can play multiple positions on the perimeter.
Kyra Rose (2022) | Marist
Marist had an extremely balanced offensive attack led by Kaylice Hanna. She will be leaving this year and that leaves a hole in that attack. This is something that Rose can fill. Rose is an excellent rebounder from the guard position and this is valuable for Marist. She showed the ability to shoot from deep but thrived in the midrange game and close to the basket.
