We are nearing the end of our key returning players’ series. Here, we will take a look at what players in the NJIC will be back and ready to dominate the 2020-2021 season. [player_tooltip player_id="134615" first="Colleen" last="McQuillen"] (2021) | Cresskill McQuillen is one of the key returning players in the state. She scored 737 points which was among the top of the state. She knocked down 65 three’s and 120 free throws. McQuillen was lethal from all three levels. She ended her junior season as one of the best scorers in the state and that will be the case once again as a senior. [player_tooltip player_id="159086" first="Harmony" last="Marquez"] (2022) | Rutherford Marquez led Rutherford in scoring during her sophomore year. She proved to be a leader that could take over a game when need be. Marquez is one of the top play makers in the conference on both ends of the floor. Camille Arias (2021) | Manchester Regional Manchester Regional is losing Shani Gerald, [player_tooltip player_id="134591" first="Jasmine" last="McDuffie"], and Aziza Whitaker. Arias will be their top returning scorer and three-point shooter. She knocked down 52 three’s as a junior. Arias was always moving on the perimeter looking for an open spot to get a shot up. Lyndsey Ross (2021) | Secaucus [player_tooltip player_id="156154" first="Damaris" last="Rodriguez"] was the No. 1 option for Secaucus over the course of her senior year. The team will be in need of another one and Ross is that player. She averaged nearly 12 points per game and that number will skyrocket as a senior. She is an agile guard that can get to the rim and score inside. Viviana Mendez (2022) | Weehawken Weehawken was a team with great youth this season. Mendez burst onto the scene as a sophomore as a big time scorer and rebounder. She excelled on the defensive end where he was an elite perimeter defender. Mendez has quick hands that allow her to get in the passing lanes.
