<p>We're back to the all-conference picks in New Jersey and following our look at the Olympic Conference, the journey takes us to the Colonial Conference. Despite containing just 12 schools, there's some great talent in the Colonial and it was a tough choice for our All-CC First Team, but without further delay, here are our selections</p>

<h2>All-Colonial Conference First Team</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='481518' first='Madison' last='Clark'] - Haddon Heights (2023)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Clark had herself quite the junior season for Haddon Heights and followed that up with a stellar senior season for the Garnets, reaching the 1000 point plateau and averaged just under 15 points a game this season. She was a constant down low for the Garnets as she's been over the last two seasons in total, and was more than deserving of this honor.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='155443' first='Alexis' last='Davis'] - Woodbury (2023)</strong> <strong>*2022-23 Colonial Conference Player of the Year</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>How could we do a list like this and not include Davis into the mix, especially after leading the state in rebounding, averaging over 25 PPG and 20 RPG for the Thundering Herd. She joined the elusive 2000 point club, also joining the 1000 rebound club, and put up stat lines that were unseen by most. She's a prolific inside presence and will be a massive void to fill next season.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='325191' first='Angelina' last='Zagone'] - Gateway (2024)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>We saw this success last season from Zagone, a great scorer with inside game, solid defense and a good three-point shot, but we should have seen this rise coming much sooner. Averaging over 21 PPG, Zagone was an absolute bucket for Gateway, and set new career-highs in rebounds per game, scoring, made three-pointers and three-pointers per game.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Janie Cross - West Deptford (2024)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Like Zagone, Cross showed a lot of potential last season and a lot of success, but wow did she ever burst onto the scene like she did as a junior. Averaging 13.1 PPG in 28 games, Cross nearly doubled her three-point output in a season, going from 28 made threes as a sophomore to 54 as a junior.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='583451' first='Skyy' last='Beeks'] - Lindenwold (2025)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of the most underrated forwards in the state, Beeks had a sophomore season to remember for Lindenwold, finishing with 15.6 PPG, 14.3 RPG, 2.8 BPG and 3.1 SPG in 16 games. While a smaller sample size, Beeks showcased just how much success she can have down on the post and then some, recording 14 double-doubles on the year.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='325197' first='Brooklyn' last='Graham'] - Paulsboro (2024)</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Graham played in just 17 games as a junior as Paulsboro had a smaller schedule compared to other teams in the conference, but wow was she effective on the floor. Averaging 18.6 PPG, 3 APG, 3.4 SPG and 2.3 made three-pointers a game, Graham was a bucket and put up eight 20-point performances on the season.</p>
