<p>Katie can flat-out score it! Her 906 points and 169 3-pointers two years into her high school career is a testament to her scoring prowess. From behind the arc, she is just about automatic, as she was one of New Jersey's leaders in 3's made and 3's per game this season. In multiple games, Katie ignited and drained a season-high eight 3-pointers!</p>

<p>If Emily is on the floor, you can bet your bottom dollar the 3's will fall. The defense has a hard time trying to delay or deny her attempts from beyond the arc due to how quickly she releases the ball. When things get stagnant on the floor, Emily has the ability to create her own shot very efficiently. In a win against Wayne Valley, she went off for 24 points, all of them in 3-pointers (8).</p>

<p>Bound Brook has a 3-point specialist in Brooke Cooper. Need proof? Well, she casually drained seven of them in a win against Pingry... she bured five in a game against a defense-driven Hillsborough squad... need I go on? She does a nice job of getting herself open from behind the arc and has a fearless release.</p>

<p>When you are pouring multiple 3's against one of the best defensive teams in the state (and nationally ranked), you have earned the title of a "3-point sniper." She swished in six 3's in two contests against national powerhouse Morris Catholic (NJ) and made it look easy. She also hit a season-high seven from deep in a win against Columbia.</p>

<p>A scoring machine. A bucket. An offensive mastermind. However you want to call it, that's [player_tooltip player_id='325192' first='Devyn' last='Quigley']. 977 points in a single season is wild, but that's exactly what she did this junior year; 189 of them coming from 3-point territory. If you're the defense, she is one player you do not want to see open from three, because she's automatic. Don't believe me? Well just ask Wildwood Catholic! She drained a season-high eight from deep against them this past January.</p>

<p>Morgan upped her production in just about every single stat this season. Her made 3-pointers nearly doubled from last season (56 v 30) and it caused all types of nightmares for the defense game after game. She powered in five 3's against Haddon Heights, a team notorious for their defensive excellence. Her season-high six 3's came in a blowout win against Paulsboro back in January.</p>

<p><strong>Janie Cross</strong> - <strong>West Deptford (2024)</strong></p>

<p><strong>54 3-pointers in 28 games; 1.9 per game</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Janie's court positioning and timing was crucial in her success as a lethal shooter from deep. She opened the season draining three of them against Sterling and never looked back. Fifty-one others would drop during the course of the season. Something tells me her senior year will be scorching hot.</p>

<p>Sitting at 92 career 3's, the stellar sophomore is primed to score number 100 early next season. Her ability to get to her spots and knock down big 3 after big 3 is both impressive and admirable. In a game against Parsippany, Charlotte drained a season-high five 3's, sometimes over taller defenders and double-teams.</p>

<p>[player_tooltip player_id='406938' first='Madison' last='Vitucci'] - <strong>South River (2024)</strong></p>

<p>Five 3's against Carteret. Four 3's against Henry Hudson. Four 3's against Somerset Tech. I can keep going but I'd be here a long, long time. Madison can flat-out shoot it from deep and when she starts to sizzle, she can wreak havoc on her opponent. Earlier in the season she hit her 100th 3-pointer, and with her flaming fingertips and senior season ahead of her, don't be surprised if she eclipses 200.</p>

<p>Katie more than tripled her 3-pointers made from her sophomore season. A fearless and confident shooter, it doesn't matter what defensive scheme you throw her way, she is going to bury the shot and send the opponent a message early on! She can devastate you from behind the arc, and that's exactly what she did to teams like Indian Hills (5 made), Mahwah (3 made), Caldwell (4 made), Paramus Catholic (3 made), etc. Quite simply put, Katie should come with a warning label because she is a danger from deep!</p>
