Swatting Shots: Rim Protectors & Ball Deflectors

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A Dikembe Mutombo finger-wag. A Brittney Griner flex. NOT IN THEIR HOUSE!! There's nothing that animates the crowd quite like a player swatting shots with authority! The crowd erupts, the team ignites &amp; the momentum shifts. The following group of ladies put the Garden State on notice with their tremendous timing, fantastic footwork &amp; elite shot-altering abilities. If you are going up against one of these dynamic defenders, your shot is as good as BLOCKED!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='325186' first='Faith' last='Fedd-Robinson'] - <strong>Newark Central (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>134 blocks in 28 games; 4.8 bpg</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>State's leader in blocked shots this season</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 10 blocks vs West Essex (triple-double with 29 points &amp; 15 rebounds)</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='600884' first='Nadia' last='Otuyelu'] - <strong>Ridgefield Park (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>117 blocks in 27 games; 4.3 bpg</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 10 blocks (twice): vs Indian Hills (triple-double with 11 points &amp; 18 rebounds) and vs Westwood (triple-double with 20 points &amp; 17 rebounds) </li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='489005' first='Maya' last='Summerville'] - <strong>Morristown (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>95 blocks in 26 games; 3.7 bpg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 7 blocks (twice): vs Chatham &amp; Pope John</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='321548' first='Emma' last='Peretti'] - <strong>Hammonton (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>70 blocks in 19 games; 3.7 bpg</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season cut short due to injury; season high 7 blocks (3 times): vs Atlantic City (twice) &amp; Cedar Creek</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='583709' first='Zairra' last='Galloway'] - <strong>Hamilton West (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>63 blocks in 17 games; 3.7 bpg</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 7 blocks vs Montgomery</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='488642' first='Bianca' last='Sode'] - <strong>Brearley (2024)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>79 blocks in 22 games; 3.6 bpg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 8 blocks vs Roselle</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='321557' first='Nir' last='Nir Cherry-Montague'] - <strong>Atlantic City (2023)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>98 blocks in 28 games; 3.5 bpg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 7 blocks (twice): vs Hammonton &amp; Jackson Memorial</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='326949' first='Riley' last='Ahrens'] - <strong><em>Delran (2023)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>90 blocks in 26 games; 3.5 bpg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 9 blocks (twice): vs Cinnaminson &amp; Seneca</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='601408' first='Brooke' last='Harper'] - <strong>Lyndhurst (2026)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>87 blocks in 27 games; 3.2 bpg</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 8 blocks vs Harrison</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='976706' first='Alaina' last='Staab']</strong> - <strong>Bishop Eustace (2025)</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>93 blocks in 29 games; 3.2 bpg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li>Season high 11 blocks vs Delsea</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
