<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414232' first='Alexa' last='Henry'] - Lenape (2025)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Last season was merely a blip on the radar for Henry, who came back with a vengeance this season for Lenape. She really came into her own as a bonafide scorer and playmaker for this program and the numbers show, averaging a career-high 14.2 PPG and hitting 41 three-pointers in 33 games. She broke the 1000 point mark and 100 career three-pointer mark all at once, setting the stage for a massive senior year.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='835906' first='El-Anita' last='Joe-Samuel'] - Lenape (2027)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Joe-Samuel was one of the best players in the state, period, let alone one of the top freshmen. She dazzled on the floor, recording a number of double-doubles while also showcasing her range as a shooter. Her 52 threes led the team, along with her 15.2 PPG in 32 games. Seven 20-point performances highlight her season, but more importantly, she was a key cog on a state championship-winning team.</p>

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>This season might have been a down year for Cherokee, but with the pieces that are returning to the fold in the future, the Chiefs are going to be dangerous. Look no further than [player_tooltip player_id='559132' first='Brielle' last='Alaba'], a fantastic player who capped off a career year as a sophomore, averaging 14.8 PPG in 27 games, hitting 37 threes over that span as well.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='601276' first='Analyse' last='Intenzo'] - Moorestown (2026)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There was no sophomore slump from Intenzo this season. In fact, it was about the furthest thing from it as she was able to absolutely dazzle on the floor, averaging a career-high 14.1 PPG, 6.8 RPG and 2.9 APG over 30 games. Her three-point success also grew tremendously, knocking down 67 this season, more than two a game, which was also a career-high for the guard.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='587999' first='Maya' last='Braxton-Young'] - Woodbury (2024)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's going to be some serious talent going into next season for Woodbury, but someone who won't be returning is Braxton-Young. The senior had herself a banner year to end her high school career, averaging 19 PPG along with 7.8 RPG and 4.3 APG over 27 games. Braxton-Young showcased her ability to get to the basket frequently, a strong guard who played downhill and wasn't afraid to get the tough basket.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325191' first='Angelina' last='Zagone'] - Gateway (2024)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Zagone has been one of the best players in South Jersey consistently for the past few seasons. An absolute delight to watch, she's always had a knack for scoring just about anywhere on the floor it seemed like. For the third-straight season, she averaged over 17.5 PPG, this season at 18.5 PPG with 31 made three-pointers over 26 games. She's now part of the 1,500 point club and 100 made three-pointers club.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='325197' first='Brookelyn' last='Graham'] - Paulsboro (2024)</h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In what was an otherwise disappointing season for Paulsboro, Graham seemed to be one of a few bright spots, though the Red Raiders will unfortunately be losing her next season. However, she didn't waste any time to have an incredible senior campaign, averaging a career-high 23.3 PPG in 20 games with five 30-point games as well. Oh, and she knocked down just over two 3-pointers a game for Paulsboro as well.</p>

<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Haddon Heights found an absolute gem in freshman [player_tooltip player_id='835864' first='Emma' last='Harris'], seemingly taking over where Madison Clark left off last season after her senior year. One of the best three-point shooters in the region, Harris knocked down 64 in 27 games, nearly 2.4 made threes a game, en route to averaging 15.9 points per game this season. That included a robust eight 20-point performances as well.</p>
