<p>Prep Girls Hoops New Jersey continues on with its look at the updated Class of 2025 rankings as we count up to the top 50 prospects in the class. This article will focus on the No. 36-40 prospects, those five representing all three regions of the Garden State. Plenty of great players and great talent here to talk about, so let's get right into it.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">No. 36: [player_tooltip player_id='414312' first='Qui-Mia' last='Wilkins'] - SF, Pemberton</h2>   <p>Wilkins is one of a number of prospects on this current list that dealt with time missed last season. She was able to play in just six games, missing the large majority of her junior season, but in those six games, she displayed a lot of skill and a lot of promise at the forward position. A 30-point double-double stands out amongst the rest, and we really are curious to see what she could have done in a full-season sample size, but knowing her skillset, this coming winter should be a great one for her.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">No. 37: [player_tooltip player_id='583946' first='Asya' last='Akar'] - PF, Lyndhurst</h2>   <p>It's not shocking at all to see one of Lyndhurst's best volleyball players over the past few years be its best frontcourt asset. Akar is coming off an impressive sophomore season, averaging 11.4 PPG and 7.3 RPG in 27 games played. That also includes more than 1.5 assists a game and 1.7 blocks a game. Her game has improved tremendously over the past year, and it showed in her production. She's a rapidly-improving forward with plenty more left in the tank to give.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">No. 38: [player_tooltip player_id='414240' first='Reese' last='Fiore'] - PG, Shore</h2>   <p>Looking at what is to come this season for Shore, that almost all rests on the shoulders of star point guard [player_tooltip player_id='414240' first='Reese' last='Fiore'], a revelation as a sophomore for the Blue Devils and someone who has all-conference aspirations in the Shore Conference. Above anything, her scoring is what stood out for Shore last season, averaging a career-high 13.5 PPG in 31 games played. It was a two-headed monster of success for the Blue Devils, and they'll be getting Fiore back and better than ever as a junior.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">No. 39: [player_tooltip player_id='414423' first='Caitlin' last='O'Malley'] - CG, Veritas Christian </h2>   <p>O'Malley might have played in nine less games last season for Veritas Christian compared to her freshman year, but wow, what a season it was for the guard. In that time, she averaged 17.8 PPG, three assists a game, nearly 3.3 steals a game, just under a block a game and roughly 1.5 made three-pointers a game. She took significant strides from beyond the arc, further evolving her game into a multi-dimensional guard with a near-complete offensive package. Her junior year is going to be an exciting one for sure.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">No. 40: [player_tooltip player_id='414290' first='Christa' last='Ramos'] - PG, Neptune</h2>   <p>We round this article out by talking about an elite-level point guard in Ramos, one of the best guards in the 2025 class and a relative surprise for the 2022-23 season. She came out of nowhere to average 14.8 PPG and nearly 5.5 RPG in 22 games played. Her perimeter shooting success skyrocketed, nearly hitting two three-pointers a game, and her defense came up big despite an inconsistent season from Neptune overall. She's the unquestionable leader of this program and has her sights set on the best of the best in the Shore.</p>
