Potential State Scoring Champs: Group 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These ladies are known for their prolific scoring. They can light it up in a hurry and go on a heater so hot, not even the winter cold could cool them off! These seven are ready for SHOWTIME:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='414290' first='Christa' last='Ramos'] | Neptune</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 16.1 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As the years pass, Christa continues to turn up the heat. Her junior year was her best yet, improving her numbers in all categories across the board including points, scoring 127 points more than in her sophomore year. She hit her season-high of 29 points in a January blowout win over Manalapan (nine 20-point games). She already notched her 100th career 3 and now has her sights set on career point number 1,000 (currently at 862).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559136' first='Camden' last='Epstein'] | Ramapo</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 14.1 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Camden's versatility has allowed her to wreak havoc and have her way with defenders. She showed out in her sophomore year, knocking down fifty-two 3's and setting a career-high 24 points on two occasions, vs Fair Lawn in the first game of the season and again two games later against Teaneck. With her ability to light it up, she may knock down her 100th career 3 and join the 1,000-Point Club before the season ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='871893' first='Angelina' last='Tirado'] | Demarest</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 19.7 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Angie's scoring was flat-out furious last season! She totaled 571 points, 156 of which came from 3-pointers made... some very deep 3-pointers! She poured in a career-high 34 points against Teaneck in January and then again vs Old Tappan just a week later. It was in that game against Old Tappan where she also notched a career-high 7 made 3's. She lit up the Big North and when it came to the postseason, kept her foot on the gas, averaging just under 19 points per contest through three games.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='333348' first='Ella' last='Kreuzer'] | Chatham</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 17.6 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Having surpassed 1,000 points as a junior, Ella sure knows a thing or two about putting the ball through the hoop! Even against some of the state's best teams, she caught fire! Her career-high 34 points came against Group 2 power New Providence. She poured in 24 points against RFH, 46 points in two meetings against eventual Non-Public A State Finalist Pope John and 11 points against nationally ranked powerhouse Morris Catholic (NJ). With her ability to go off for 30 on any given night, it wouldn't shock me if she reached 2,000 career points by March. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1048693' first='Bella' last='Curanovic'] | Cranford</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 15.3 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bella had a breakout in Year 3, totaling as many points as she did in both her freshman and sophomore seasons combined. She was a scoring machine all season, but it was in the Union County Tournament and postseason where she really caught fire. She led Cranford to the UCT Finals, averaging 19.0 ppg through four games, including a season-high 25 points in the Finals vs Elizabeth. In three NJSIAA playoff games, she averaged just under 13 points per contest. She enters her final year of HS hoops just 184 points away from 1,000.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601276' first='Analyse' last='Intenzo'] | Moorestown</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 14.1 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The sharpshooter is coming off a sensational sophomore campaign that saw her eclipse 100 made 3's for her career and lead her team to an undefeated 10-0 record in the Olympic Patriot Conference and a 25-6 overall record. She put up super solid numbers against tough teams, including 25 points in two meetings with eventual Group 4 State Champion Lenape, 15 points against South Jersey power Gloucester Catholic and a career-high 27 points against Winslow. Only 280 points away from 1,000, look for Analyse to reach the major milestone around mid-season (or sooner!)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='414395' first='Reese' last='Downey'] | Absegami</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2023-2024 scoring avg: 19.9 ppg</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A 3-point sniper and one of the most prolific scorers in the state, Reese has knocked down 232 3's in three seasons and has totaled an astonishing 1,421 points. With her entire senior year ahead of her, expect these numbers to sharply rise. Year 3 was a banner year for the arc assassin, draining a career-high 8 3's against St. Joseph (Hammonton) en-route to a career-high 36 points! Another winter of milestones may be in the cards for the FDU commit as she looks to drain her 300th career 3 and also join the elusive 2,000-Point Club! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
