The NJAC is made up of six big divisions with top teams all over the state. These teams have lost some dynamic players but will still feature some top scorers in 2020-2021. Here are the top threats heading into the season. [player_tooltip player_id="155551" first="Bella" last="Vito"] (2021) | Montville Vito was half of a dynamic duo along with [player_tooltip player_id="156153" first="Emma" last="Wax"] last season. With Wax moving onto Marist, this leaves Vito as the top returning scorer. She averaged 15 points per game while leading the team in rebounding. Vito knocked down 37 three’s and got to the free throw line with great consistency. She has a chance to lead the NJAC in scoring as a senior. [player_tooltip player_id="134648" first="Tyonna" last="Bailey"] (2023) | Morris Catholic Bailey dominated over the course of her freshman year. She led Morris Catholic with 18 points and 10.9 rebounds per game. Bailey was a capable shooter from the outside but dominated in the lane. She showed an ability to finish with contact and use her strength to dominate. [player_tooltip player_id="155444" first="Brynn" last="McCurry"] (2023) | Sparta McCurry is another freshman that showed her future is bright. Sparta has plenty of options in the Class of 2023 including [player_tooltip player_id="155447" first="Ally" last="Sweeney"] and Bailey Chapman. McCurry led Sparta in scoring and did most of her work from inside the paint. She has a great ability to score from the block using a plethora of moves. She will be a big name prospect over the next three years. Tess Callaghan (2021) | Madison Callaghan was the No. 1 option for Madison on both ends of the floor. She led the team in steals and scoring. Callaghan is a true scorer at all three levels and that was on display during her junior year. Callaghan will return as Madison’s No. 1 option once again. Ivana Tisma (2022) | Jefferson Jefferson won 23 games and Tisma was one of the main reasons. She was second on the team in made three’s and first in made free throws. Tisma is an agile player that has great instincts and reactions on both ends of the floor. Jefferson will feature Tisma in a leadership role during her time as an upperclassman.
