New Jersey’s Top 40 Rankings Regardless Of Class (Players 26-30)

With the start of the abbreviated girls basketball season just a couple of weeks away, we decided to rank New Jersey’s best players. Normally, player rankings are done by class. For the purpose of this eight-part series, we grouped everyone together. Let’s debate! <strong style="font-size: 1rem;">26. [player_tooltip player_id="134648" first="Tyonna" last="Bailey"], Morris Catholic:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> The sophomore put up gaudy numbers last high school season and a slew of Power 5 colleges noticed. She is one of the most-recruited players in the state in her class.</span> <strong style="font-size: 1rem;">27. [player_tooltip player_id="134625" first="Marianna" last="Papazoglou"], Wildwood Catholic:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> Whatever her team needs, that’s what the versatile Papazoglou provides. Whether it’s points, rebounds, assists or defense, she has stuffed the boxscore for the perennial South Jersey power.</span> <strong style="font-size: 1rem;">28. Lexy Linton, Jackson Memorial:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> After averaging 15 points per game as a junior at Rancocas Valley, Linton has transferred to Jackson Memorial for her final high school campaign. The Kent State commit is a high-energy player on offense and defense.</span> <strong style="font-size: 1rem;">29. Grace Munt, Rumson-Fair Haven:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> Munt is one of the best players in the Shore – the top conference in New Jersey. Although she may not get as many props as some of her peers, the Holy Cross commit, who averaged 14 points and eight rebounds per game last season, is equally as talented.</span> <strong style="font-size: 1rem;">30. [player_tooltip player_id="134616" first="Ariel" last="Jenkins"], Stuart Day:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> Standing an imposing 6-3, Jenkins does the things well that you would expect from a player with her size. She is active on the boards, finishes around the rim and blocks shots. In the fall she will be taking her talents to Georgetown University.</span>
