North Jersey
Rylie Theuerkauf Rylie Theuerkauf 5'7" | SG Tenafly | 2023 State NJ – Tenafly (2023)
Sometimes, it’s ok to go with the greatest hits because Theuerkauf, a player who we’ve talked about at length on the site, is just that good of a player overall. She definitely showed that this week, averaging 35.5 PPG and 7.5 RPG in two games for Tenafly with four made three pointers a game, 2 BPG and 2 SPG.
Alexis Rosenfeld Alexis Rosenfeld 6'2" | C Morris Catholic | 2024 State NJ – Morris Catholic (2024)
Rosenfeld and Morris Catholic cruised to wins this week and her presence in the middle was not only felt, but it helped dictate play in a big way. Saturday’s 11-point, 19-rebound performance against Pequannock in the quarterfinals of the Morris County Tournament says it all. She averaged 14.5/14 in two games with 2 BPG and 2 SPG.
Alex Reigle Alex Reigle PF Madison | 2023 State NJ – Madison (2023)
Reigle didn’t have her rebound numbers posted for Saturday’s game, but what a week she posted, with double-doubles in at least two of her three games and a block in at least two of those games, averaging 15 PPG and 11 RPG in her first two games of the week. She’s currently in the midst of a career season, nearly averaging a double-double on the year.
Kylie Cabana Kylie Cabana 5'8" | SG Paramus Catholic | 2024 State NJ – Paramus Catholic (2024)
A new member of the 1000 point club at Paramus Catholic and one of the most consistent and versatile guards we’ve seen in North Jersey, she continued a double-double streak that has now grown to at least six-straight games, if not more. This week, in three games, she averaged 17.7/15/2.7, going 18-of-23 (78.3 percent) from the line.
Central Jersey
Kyla Glasser-Hyman Kyla Glasser-Hyman 5'6" | PG Hightstown | 2023 State NJ – Hightstown (2023)

That includes two-straight 30-point performances, her first two of the season. Matthews is averaging 22.6 PPG this season for Pennington.
South Jersey
Aaryn Battle Aaryn Battle 5'8" | SF Camden Catholic | 2023 State NJ – Camden Catholic (2023)
