There was a lot of good Guard play at the New Jersey 250 expo. Here are 5 Guards to note from the event. [player_tooltip player_id='333350' first='Gianna' last='Modica'], High School Immaculate Heart Academy, Class 2025, HT 5'5 Gianna is a scrappy and gritty Point Guard. In Gianna's final game of the day she went 4 for 4 from three point range. She looked like she was playing with confidence on the floor. She handles the ball well, and has a good shot from the outside. Gianna plays with high energy, and has a good positive attitude. [player_tooltip player_id='601517' first='Ava' last='Coyle'], High School Shore Regional, HT 5'2 Class 2026, Position PG Ava is always one of the hardest working players on the floor. She is a true Point Guard, and makes players around her better. She is very vocal, and the player you want running your teams offense. She may not be the biggest player on the court, but she does not let that stop her. She makes up for that with her skill set and her endless energy. She is a pass first Point Guard, and looks to set her teammates up first. She can also be a scorer as well, and she showed that during the day. She hit a few three pointers, and made some tough finishes over the bigger defender in the lane. On defense Ava likes to pressure the ball handlers, and play in your face defense. [player_tooltip player_id='782574' first='Bethany' last='Ramos'], High School Hunterdon Central Regional, HT 5'6, Class 2026, Position CG, Bethany showed she has the competitive drive at the Expo. On Offense she showed her abilities to be a scorer, and to be a facilitator. She was aggressive attacking the basket, and did a good job finishing in the lane and drawing fouls. She also had a couple stretches in games, where she was able to make shots from the deep. She made a bunch of good reads on the defense, that helped her find the open teammate. On defense she forced a few steals leading to fast breaks for her team, by being aggressive and jumping the passing lanes. Gabriella Murphy, High School Marlboro Central, Class 2025, HT 5'8, Position SG Whether Gabriella's shot was falling or not, her attitude and confidence never changed. She just kept taking smart shots, and not forcing the issue. She makes good decisions and lets the plays happen. When her shot started falling, she showed she can score in bursts, and was a threat from multiple areas of the floor. Gabriella can run the Point Guard or play shooting Guard. She has moves well without the ball, and is also a good passer. Isabell Curanovic, High School Cranford, Class 2025, HT 5'9, Position SG Isabella has good length to match her skill set. She had many double games last year, and is very aggressive cutting, and on the glass. At the expo She was always cutting hard looking to get the ball back and score. She took advantage of what the defense gave her, whether she used a back door cut, or a face cut, and more. She does a good job following her shot, and gets her hands on a lot of rebounds.
