Seven days of action saw over thirty teams battle by the beach in Wildwood, NJ. From the home town teams of Wildwood and Wildwood Catholic, to teams from Pennsylvania and Delaware, there was no shortage of fantastic basketball this holiday break. Congrats to these six who have earned Second Team honors:   **teams must have played a minimum of 2 games for a player to be considered for post-tourney honors   [player_tooltip player_id='871200' first='Reagan' last='Powell'] | Middle Township   Reagan is surely making a name for herself at Middle! The junior played rock solid on both sides of the ball in dominant wins over Kingsway and Springfield (PA), averaging 20.5 ppg and 8.0 rpg. She was able to produce offense by splitting defenders and get to the rim at will, stepping out and knocking down 3's and earning trips to the charity stripe (16 free throws in two games). She was an anchor on defense, deflecting and blocks shots and rebounding with authority from the guard spot (double-double vs Kinsgway).   [player_tooltip player_id='651514' first='Rebecca' last='Benichou'] | Wildwood   Three games, three wins. Rebecca was INEXTINGUISHABLE from 3pt land, scorching Lower Moreland (PA), Central Bucks South (PA) and Wildwood Catholic with a combined twelve 3's, at an average of four per game. With a "shooters shoot" mentality, she was able to confidently sink shots at a high clip and be an efficient leader for the Warriors. The sophomore excelled in transition and displayed an exceptionally high motor, rarely coming off the floor all week! Alongside [player_tooltip player_id='414340' first='Macie' last='McCracken'], she gives Wildwood a blazing back court!   Haley Moran | Central Bucks East   Haley went down to Wildwood and helped CBE notch two wins over fellow PA teams Conestoga and Berks Catholic. She showed off a little razzle dazzle and carved paths to the rim at a furious pace. Averaging 16.0 ppg, most of her scoring came around the rim, where she made it look easy as she sliced through defenders. A bullet in transition, she got ahead of the pack and finished at a high level. Haley played with so much fire and intensity, never fazed by the moment or the opponent.   [player_tooltip player_id='564266' first='Lily' last='King'] | Wildwood Catholic   Lily helped the Crusaders achieve a 2-1 record averaging 10.7 ppg, 3.7 rpg & 2.3 spg. Her confidence is at an all-time high and boy does it show! Her 3-point shooting was clutch in a big win over Central Bucks South, where she had the hot hand, knocking down a team-best four triples. She brought an efficient all-court performance every night, doing everything she was asked to do... and then some!   [player_tooltip player_id='583760' first='Tamia' last='Smith'] | Glassboro   Tamia put the Bulldogs on her back and led them to a 2-0 showing in Wildwood, with convincing wins over LCMR and Ocean City. Averaging 18.5 ppg, she spearheaded their offense by driving inside and initiating contact around the basket. In fact, she had a total of twenty-one free throw attempts! She wasn't easily rattled when the defense pressed up and instead, turned the jets on to skate by defenders and carve paths inside.   Madison Langdon | Berks Catholic   It was only fitting that the arc assassin notched her 1,000th career point on a 3-point basket! That 3-pointer in the opening quarter was one of three in a big win vs Mount Saint Joseph Academy (PA) where she tallied 15 points. She followed that up with a game-best 17 points (including four 3's) in a close loss 8-point loss to Central Bucks East (PA). When the pressure mounted, Madi played some of her best basketball!
