<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With tryouts less than 2 weeks away, we take a look at the returning Group 2 &amp; Group 3 All-State players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Group 2</span></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2nd Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414424' first='Charlotte' last='Tuhy'] - Madison - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Charlotte put her Madison team on her very capable shoulders and led them to the Group 2 Championship game where they fell to Manasquan. Charlotte's numbers were off the charts all season. She has a physical frame and is tough to stop when she gets downhill to the rim. If you play off, she will make you pay as evidenced by her 69 3-pointers in her junior season. The American University commit is going to surpass 2,000 career points this season and finish as one of the top 50 all-time scorers in NJ girls basketball. She will also surpass 1,000 career rebounds, 300 steals, 200 3-pointers and 100 blocks. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414346' first='Brenna' last='Slattery'] - New Providence - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brenna more than doubled her scoring from her sophomore year to her junior year and helped lead New Providence to a 25-5 record and a spot in the Central Group 2 championship game where they fell to eventual Group 2 State Champion Manasquan. Brenna has size and length. She can step out and shoot but is at her best working inside and finishing around the rim. In her senior season she will pass 1,000 career points and 400 career rebounds.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3rd Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='898071' first='Reagen' last='Powell'] - Middle Township - Class of 2026</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reagen helped lead Middle Township to a 23-9 record and their 2nd consecutive South Group 2 championship in her sophomore year. Though she is comfortable shooting from the 3-point line, she is at her best driving to the hoop and finishing strong at the rim or showing a solid pull-up game. She led her team in points and rebounds and will look to build on her successful summer playing for NJ Soldiers. With two of their top 4 scorers from last season gone to graduation, Reagen's numbers should only go up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Group 3</strong></span></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>1st Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='333348' first='Ella' last='Kreuzer']<a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/ella-kreuzer/"></a> – Chatham – Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ella led Chatham to a 28-4 record and her team were finalists in the Morris County tournament and the Group 3 State tournament. Back for her senior year and with her team favored to win the Group 3 State Championship, Ella's versatility will once again be on full display. A 3-level scorer with a quick release from 3 and the ability to get by defenders off the bounce, the Bucknell commit is a tough mark. Defensively she seamlessly guards 1-5 and is routinely guarding the opponent's top player. Ella chasing 2,000 career points, 200 career 3-pointers, 500 career rebounds, 300 career assists and 250 career steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>2nd Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414395' first='Reese' last='Downey'] - Absegami - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Reese led her Absegami team to a 16-13 record and a spot in the South Group 3 finals where they fell to eventual Group 3 State Champ Mainland. Reese is a deadly 3-point shooter with a quick release who is just as comfortable shooting off the dribble as she is spotting up. The FDU commit has a tight handle and forces defenders to keep up with her tempo. After averaging just under 20ppg as a junior, Reese will likely surpass 2,000 career points, 300 career 3-pointers, 500 career rebounds, 500 career assists and 500 career steals in her senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>3rd Team</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='414250' first='Emma' last='Thornton'] - Barnegat - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Emma went over 1,000 career points in her junior season with Barnegat. She is long and athletic and aggressive getting in passing lanes on the defensive end. She has a solid handle and likes to push in transition and shows excellent vision on the break. She has a solid mid-range jumper but is at her best working in the paint, attacking the rim and cleaning up on the glass. In her senior season the East Stroudsburg commit will surpass 1,500 career points, 1,300 career rebounds, 200 steals, 200 assists and 100 blocks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
