Cape-Atlantic: Returning Prospects Ready for Breakout Season

The Cape-Atlantic League is losing some top players from a season ago but they will also have plenty returning. Here are some prospects ready to breakout this season. <strong>Naysha Suarez-Rivera (2022) | Atlantic City</strong> Rivera is one of three underclassmen at Atlantic City that burst onto the scene last season. She is ready to take the next step as a junior. Rivera is an elite passer and knows how to run the offense in the half court. <strong>Lauren Baxter (2021) | Egg Harbor</strong> Egg Harbor is in need of a leader for the season and Baxter can be that player. She led the team in assists and steals a season ago. She will take big strides with the ball in her hand this season. <strong>Marlee Brestle (2021) | Ocean City</strong> Ocean City is one of the top teams in the Cape-Atlantic League and that will continue with Brestle leading the way. She is one name to remember who can turn into one of the best in the conference. <strong>Jade Elston (2023) | MiddleTownship</strong> Middle Township is losing [player_tooltip player_id="159436" first="Kira" last="Sides"] but returning one of the elite players in the state in Katie Herlihy. As a freshman, Elston played in 30 games and did not have an extended role offensively. With Sides out, Elston will step in and have a chance to breakout. <strong>Kimmy Casiello (2022) | Wildwood Catholic</strong> Casiello was one of the underrated stars of Wildwood Catholic last season. She has a smooth looking jump shot that we will see more of this year. Casiello can rebound on both ends and defend with the best of them on the perimeter. <strong>Sydney Prescott (2021) | Our Lady of Mercy</strong> Prescott began to breakout last season and will continue as a senior. She showed an ability to score in the lane and rebound effectively. She led the team in steals a season ago and was one of the top shot blockers as well.
