The invites keep coming in for some of New Jersey’s best players, and with so many, we’re far from done when it comes to previewing the talent coming in. Here are more players who have been invited to this year’s Hoops4MS.
Eva Andrews Eva Andrews 5'10" | CG Paul VI | 2024 State NJ – Paul VI (2024)
Andrews has been a great complementary piece with Hannah Hidalgo on the court over the past few seasons, but with Hidalgo graduated, that leaves Andrews as the player to lead the Eagles next season. She’s got the maturity and game to do just that, the guard at the top of the key who can shoot like anyone’s business, but can carve up defenders going toward the cup just as much.
Iyanna Cotten Iyanna Cotten 5'8" | CG Franklin | 2024 State NJ – Franklin (2024)
Cotten really hit another gear with her game at Franklin last season, setting career-highs across the board as her breakout season arrived with a flourish. In 25 games, Cotten averaged 12.8 PPG, 5.3 RPG and 3.4 APG with just under three steals a game. She’s quick, she has a high basketball IQ, she wants the ball in clutch-time situations and her feel for the game rivals anyone else in the state.
Lizzie Calandruccio Lizzie Calandruccio 5'6" | SG Spotswood | 2025 State NJ – Spotswood (2025)
Calandruccio showcased a well-rounded game as a sophomore at Spotswood, improving on her three-point shot and pushing the envelope defensively at the perimeter. All told, she averaged 14.2 PPG, 1.6 made three-pointers a game and 3.5 steals a game in 26 games played. That offense was consistent the entire season and seeing such a jump in scoring shows that there’s still plenty of growth left for her.
Olivia Moore Olivia Moore 5'5" | CG Trenton Catholic Preparatory Academy | 2026 State NJ – Trenton Catholic (2026)
Trenton Catholic has been in a rebuilding phase for much of the past two seasons, but amongst that rebuild has seen the likes of players like Moore come into the spotlight. The 5-5 guard has been nothing short of impressive on the high school floor in her one season, averaging 8.4 PPG in 23 games. Competition has been stiff in the BSCL recently, so strong opposition will only help her grow as a competitor herself.
Kaci Mikulski Kaci Mikulski 5'8" | CG Wildwood Catholic Academy | 2024 State NJ – Wildwood Catholic (2024)
We are sounding like a broken record when it comes to watching Mikulski play because every season, she’s vastly improved her game and she’s playing more like a veteran than we’ve ever seen. Not shocking considering she’s a rising senior, but that maturity has improved and she’s definitely college-ready by this point. In 30 games, she averaged 14.7 PPG, 3.6 RPG, 2.8 APG, and roughly 2.5 made three-pointers a game.
Averie Harding Averie Harding 6'2" | PF Egg Harbor Township | 2025 State NJ – Egg Harbor Township (2025)
What a sophomore success it was for Harding at EHT, commanding the game in a way we had yet to see from her following her freshman year. Averaging 12.1 PPG and 6.1 RPG in 27 games, Harding recorded four double-doubles on the year, but that number we would not be surprised to see it rise next season. Not only that, but Harding showed off range as a shooter while being active on the post.
