North Jersey’s Best: 2023 Stat Leaders

Last year several new stars emerged out of the class of 2023. Let’s take a look at some scoring machines that reside north of the Raritan. [player_tooltip player_id="134751" first="Rylie" last="Theuerkauf"] Tenafly G After averaging an impressive 22 points per game as a freshman Rylie followed that up by completely running away with the scoring title as a sophomore. In a shortened season she managed to score 546 points which was good for close to 37 points per contest. There’s no shot that’s out of the question. Her unmatched ability to hit from anywhere on the court makes her the best pure scorer in the state. She proved that all summer long with her Exodus NYC EYBL team. With 1000 career points already in her rearview mirror we’ll just have to wait until the winter to see what milestone is next. <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF; border: 0;

state last year. She averaged 21 points and 10 rebounds a game, but that’s not all she’s capable of. McCurry does it all. She can dish, block, and steal as well. Her most impressive performance was a triple-double in a win against North Warren. Brynn posted a stat line of 23 points, 20 rebounds, and 10 assists. With a full season ahead of her the numbers will certainly keep piling up. [player_tooltip player_id="321558" first="Montana" last="Nicks"] Dwight Englewood G Nicks was the primary scorer for Dwight-Englewood this year. Performances of 25 at New Milford and 39 vs Dwight-Morrow helped the Bulldogs start off the season in the right direction. Despite being met with double teams on a regular basis she managed to put up one impressive performance after another. Down the stretch, she helped her team cap off an 8 game winning streak with 3 25+ performances. The sky is the limit for Montana.
