PGH New Jersey’s 2022-2023 All-Tri-County Conference First Team

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This conference had it all this season; dominant interior post players, 3-point snipers, mid-range menaces &amp; super scrappy defensive specialists. The talent pool was difficult to dissect when narrowing the selection down to just six girls because of the elite level of basketball on display from December to March. Congrats to the following on their achievements and accomplishments... they shine bright, they shine far... they're SUPERSTARS:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='414340' first='Macie' last='McCracken'] - <strong>Wildwood (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>*2022-2023 TCC Player of the Year</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably one of the best players in the state, Macie did it all for the Warriors this season. She was absolutely unstoppable from behind the arc, knocking down a staggering 103 3-pointers in 29 games played. She also racked up one of the highest point totals in New Jersey this season with 647 points scored. Defensively, she was locked in every minute of the game, and her 128 steals serve as a testament to her defensive prowess. In a first round playoff game against Paulsboro, Macie secured her 1,000th career point and became one of the fastest in Wildwood history to do so, girls or boys. <strong><em>22.3 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 2.5 apg &amp; 4.4 spg</em></strong> is a stat-line that screams COMPLETE PLAYER.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='525557' first='Megan' last='Donelson'] - <strong>Woodstown (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the type of numbers Megan put up her sophomore, she is poised to eclipse both 100 made 3's and 1,000 career points by early next season. She was clutch all season long, delivering big performance after big performance and averaged <strong><em>16.3 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 2.3 apg &amp; 3.5 spg</em></strong>. Megan was instrumental in helping Woodstown win their first ever South Jersey, Group 1 Sectional Title against defending champion Wildwood, contributing 16 points and snatching 6 steals. In a State Semifinal loss to power Shore, she poured in a game high 20 points. A season to look back and be proud of, and a future that will be a bright one for sure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='414352' first='Talia' last='Battavio'] - <strong>Woodstown (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Alongside sharpshooter Megan Donleson, Talia had Woodstown rocking all season long. She began her sophomore campaign with hot hands, hitting a season-high four 3's against Wildwood... and she never looked back! Season averages of <strong><em>15.2 ppg, 2 rpg, 1.4 apg &amp; 1.6 spg</em></strong> made opponents well aware of her tremendous game. She asserted her dominance and poured in a game high 21 points in the Group 1 South Jersey Sectional Title game. She will look to eclipse 1,000 career points in her junior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='397076' first='Iriona' last='Gravley'] - <strong>Williamstown (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In a season that saw career highs in every statistical category, Iriona proved herself as one of the Tri-County Conference's most dominant players. She averaged <strong><em>14.4 ppg, 9.2 rpg, 2 apg, 2.1 bpg &amp; 1.3 spg</em></strong> and helped the Lady Braves to a 20-9 record. Averaging nearly a double-double, Iriona scored the ball just as fiercely and ferociously as she pulled it down off the glass. In a close South Jersey Group 4 quarterfinal loss to powerhouse Atlantic City, she imposed herself and put all of Group 4 on notice with a team high 20 points and 13 rebounds. She will enter her senior year with 905 points and a very real chance to hit the 1,000 point milestone before her high school career wraps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='404206' first='Jessenia' last='Edwards'] - <strong>Timber Creek (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A leader in every essence of the word, the senior led her team in points, rebounds, blocks, steals and 3-pointers this season; <strong><em>14 ppg, 6.8 rpg, 1.5 apg, 1.9 bpg &amp; 2.6 spg</em></strong>. She was the do-it-all player that put the Chargers on her back when games got gritty and close. Jessenia posted double-doubles in three games and really proved that she was just as good scoring the ball as she was rebounding it. This post-season, she led her team to the South Jersey, Group 3 quarterfinals, where they ultimately fell to a tough Westampton Tech squad. Over four years, Jessenia truly had a stellar high school career filled with numerous accolades and accomplishments, and proved that she was just DIFFERENT!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='321571' first='Emma' last='Steidle'] - <strong>Clearview (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The McDonald's All-American nominee had a sensational senior season for the Pioneers. She had career highs in points, rebounds, assists and 3-pointers made and eclipsed 1,000 career points in a 19-point outing against Delsea, making her the first Pioneer to reach the milestone since big sister Bella did it back in 2020. Her season averages of <strong><em>17.4 ppg, 3.1 rpg, 3.2 apg &amp; 2.6 spg</em></strong> were impressive, to say the least. She poured in a season-high 33 points against Gloucester Tech and dished out a season-high 10 assists against Williamstown, proving that she is both a ferocious a scorer and an unselfish teammate. In a high school career that spanned 95 games, Emma drained 221 3-pointers and totaled an astonishing 1,210 points, becoming one of the greatest players to ever hoop at Clearview. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
