Statistically, she led her team in just about every category: points (536), rebounds (425), blocks (29). More impressively, in a shortened 21-game season, not only did she lead the state in rebounding, she was also the only player to average 20+ points u0026amp; 20+ rebounds! In an 86-game career where she amassed 2,145 points u0026amp; 1,327 rebounds (good for an average of 24.9 pp u0026amp; 15.4 rpg), Alexis showed why she was consistently one of NJ's best, from her freshman debut to her stellar senior campaign.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["155445"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"1,660 points in three and a half years is wildly impressive, if you ask me. Every year that went by, Rylee only got better, quicker, stronger and scrappier. She saved the best for last, as her 30-game senior season consisted of 555 points scored, 247 rebounds pulled down, 138 dimes dished u0026amp; 128 steals. She led her team to a Central Jersey Group 1 Sectional Title, a State Semifinal win u0026amp; an appearance in the Group 1 Final vs a juggernaut University squad. Career averages of 16.6 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 3.3 apg u0026amp; 3.2 spg proved why she was always in the conversation as one of NJ's best all-around players.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["321549"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Bella had a breakthrough season, plain and simple; career highs in just about every statistical category: 455 points, 100 rebounds, 95 assists u0026amp; 73 steals. The 5'4u0022 bullet led her team in points and steals this season, and posted an unforgettable 25-point monster performance against the nation's #5 (and undefeated) team, St. John Vianney, in the Non-Public A State Final, handing the Lancers their first in-state loss in nearly 4 years.

A LOT. How about a career record of 97-10 during her time at Cherokee?! It was in her senior season, however, that Gabby truly broke-through. She had career highs in every statistical category: points (463), rebounds (222), assists (23), blocks (22) u0026amp; steals (51). She got the job done on both ends of the floor with her efficient shooting and her scrappy, relentless defense. Her senior season was truly stellar: She eclipsed the 1,000-point milestone for her career (1,089 points), won a South Jersey Group 4 Sectional Title, a State Semifinal u0026amp; booked a spot in the State Final against a powerhouse Bayonne team.

Game after game, she produced big-time results! One of her teams' leaders in points, assists u0026amp; steals this season, Natalie got it done on both ends, with high-quality buckets and tenacious defense. Averaging just under 10 ppg (9.9) for one of the nation's best teams playing high-level competition is no small feat. Ultimately, she helped her team to a Non-Public B State Title over perennial power Rutgers Prep and a 27-3 record. Quite simply put, Natalie was a star from beginning to end.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-640fb9a8c70d3"} /-->
