Tri-County Conference 2023-24 Players to Watch

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's always a fun time to preview high school girls basketball, especially following such an exciting summer of great basketball on the court. Now, we head into this highly anticipated season, one that should feature exciting races, top talent and tons of drama. Time to head to the Tri-County Conference, one with tons of impact players ready to dominate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414352' first='Talia' last='Battavio'] - Woodstown (2025)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Battavio is coming off her best season so far with Woodstown, a sophomore campaign that saw her average more than 15 points a game offensively. She's an impressive scorer, there's no doubt about that, but its the rest of her game, things like her defense, her passing, facets of her game along those lines, that we're really intrigued to see where they go this season. Also, more than 1.8 made threes a game isn't too shabby.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='601414' first='Angela' last='Wilber'] - Wildwood (2026)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wildwood is an incredibly intriguing team with some incredible top-level talent, but plenty of contributing players as well, players like Wilber, who was a major contributor in her freshman season. Very much going under-the-radar of many, she scored 6.2 points a game, hit 33 three-pointers in 28 games played and had seven double-digit scoring performances. Overall, a really great guard we're excited to see more of.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='601420' first='Taylor' last='Bass'] - Pennsville (2026)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bass, flat out, was the best freshman in the Tri-County Conference last season, showing out almost immediately by scoring 13.1 points a game in 25 games played. Her scoring came mostly inside the arc, but it wasn't just her scoring that made the different as her defense was stellar, nearly recording four steals a game. She stayed consistent and didn't let up, a great combo for success.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='879618' first='Imani' last='Dennis'] - Delsea (2025)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Delsea was a team that hovered around the .500 mark the entire season, but Dennis was someone who kept the Crusaders in games and is a key piece to build around for upcoming seasons. She'll be the lone returning impact player on a roster that sees three seniors now gone after graduating in the spring. That's quite a lot of pressure to put on one player, but as the team's leading scorer as a sophomore, Dennis is a proven commodity that can do damage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414394' first='Alivia' last='Mauz'] - Willamstown (2025)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mauz is no stranger to being in PGH New Jersey articles, having found plenty of success on the recruiting trail over the past few months. As she continues to get scouted for the next level, she'll continue to dominate on the floor, coming off an incredibly impressive sophomore year where she averaged 14.1/1.9/4.2 in 29 games, adding in nearly four steals and 1.8 made threes a game. Cold-blooded and a big-time prospect to boot.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Ava Delaney - Clayton (2025)</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We complete this article talking about a junior guard at Clayton that should be one of the better three-point shooters in the conference this season. Delaney led Clayton with 21 threes last season and has the potential to up the ante with that big time. Add on a balanced workload on both sides of the ball, great defense and a command of the boards when she's on, and you have an all-conference talent waiting to blossom.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
