Regular Season Scoring Champs

With the NJSIAA State Tournament kicking off tomorrow and teams in postseason mode, we've tallied the numbers from around New Jersey to see which hoopers conquered the regular season in scoring. Breaking it down by classification, the following twenty-one ladies represent the most prolific scorers in the state for the 2024-2025 season:   [player_tooltip player_id='414430' first='Allie' last='Shenloogian'] | Park Ridge   North Jersey, Section 1, Group 1   565 Points | 25.7 PPG   Allie's scored it at a furious pace, with six 30-point games this season, including a season-high 37 against Bloomfield. Even more impressive, her scoring has accounted for MORE THAN HALF of her team's total (55%)! At times, can truly be a one-woman show and totally take over ball games. She even outscored an opponents all by herself, tallying 26 points to Waldwick's 21 in an early January win. With the playoffs kicking off tomorrow, the senior is sure to notch her third consecutive 600-point season before it's all said and done.   [player_tooltip player_id='835219' first='Dani' last='Daproza'] | Leonia   North Jersey, Section 1, Group 2   581 Points | 22.3 PPG   The numbers don't lie! Dani has scored it at a furious pace, complete with 40-point (career-high) outburst vs Passaic Charter, part of a triple-double. She is responsible for 44% of the Lady Lions' scoring and actually outscored the opponent altogether on five occasions! She's done a fantastic job manipulating the defense with her driving and carving paths to the hoop for easy 2's, as well as showing off unlimited range (forty-three triples). Dani has the chance to record a 600-point season when Leonia takes on Newton in the First Round on Thursday.   [player_tooltip player_id='414425' first='Juliana' last='O'Dowd'] | Montville   North Jersey, Section 1, Group 3   476 Points | 19.8 PPG   Scoring it at a clip of just under twenty per game, Juliana upped the ante in her senior year and proved menacing from just about everywhere on the floor. She recorded eleven 20-point games and a career-high 32 in a win over Lenape Valley. Her fearless scoring saw her outscore Wayne Valley and Northern Highlands entirely by herself! She'll keep adding to her total when Montville takes on 4th seeded Ramapo in the opening round tomorrow.   [player_tooltip player_id='525307' first='Jessaiah' last='Reynoso'] | Passaic   North Jersey, Section 1, Group 4   564 Points | 25.6 PPG   Jessaiah's career at Passaic was one for the books! She finishes with 1,802 points, including two consecutive 500-point seasons. She saved the best for last, recording five 30-point games and matching a career-high 36 points in the second game of the season against Morristown. She kicked off the month of February with a bang, outscoring Manchester Regional 28-26 and nearly outscoring Clifton a few games later, tallying 21 points to their 24. What a season! What a career!   [player_tooltip player_id='601339' first='Natalie' last='Sroka'] | Belvidere   North Jersey, Section 2, Group 1   494 Points | 19.0 PPG   A consistent multi-level scorer, Natalie put in work this season en-route to eleven 20-point games. She kicked off her junior year with a three-game stretch where she averaged 25.7 ppg and rode that wave straight into January, recording four consecutive 20-point games. She has a chance to add to her numbers and possibly even eclipse last year's total of 519 points when Belvidere takes on West Caldwell Tech in the playoff opener tomorrow.   [player_tooltip player_id='414424' first='Charlotte' last='Tuhy'] | Madison   North Jersey, Section 2, Group 2   647 Points | 25.9 PPG   One of the most prolific scorers in NJ girls basketball history, Charlotte (to this point) has amassed 2,332 points, catapulting her into the Top 30 all-time. With playoff basketball still to be played, her numbers will only grow! This regular season saw her go on a tear, recording seven 30-point performances and a season-high 41 against Montville. The 6'1" forward posed a matchup problem for every opponent faced this season! She single-handedly outscored the opponent six times, terrorizing teams like Morris Tech, Pequannock and Morristown. She dazzled against some of the best teams in the state, dropping 30 points on Hillsborough, 19 on Chatham and 20 on nationally-ranked juggernaut Morris Catholic. She'll look to add to her totals when 2nd seeded Madison takes on Newark Collegiate on Thursday.   [player_tooltip player_id='333348' first='Ella' last='Kreuzer'] | Chatham   North Jersey, Section 2, Group 3   475 Points | 17.0 PPG   Ella's unstoppable scoring helped Chatham notch the top overall seed in NJ S2 G3 and a fairly easy-route to the Sectional Title. She was lethal from long range this season, knocking down seventy triples, good for nearly half of her regular season totals. She began her senior campaign with four consecutive 20-point games and averaged 20.7 ppg the month of December. She showed off her skillset against some of the top teams, scoring 18 a piece against Manasquan and #1 Morris Catholic. Her season-high of 29 points came during that December four-game stretch, knocking down four triples in that one. Ella will likely see a second consecutive 500-point season before it's all said and done and if Chatham stays hot in the postseason, may even surpass last year's grand total of 562.   [player_tooltip player_id='600926' first='Izabella' last='Pardo'] | Perth Amboy   North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4   453 Points | 20.6 PPG   The junior notched a 20 PPG scoring average for the first time in her career, outdoing last year's 433-point total and blitzing opponents along the way. She was a beast from start to finish, recording eleven 20-points games and two 30-point games, including a career-best 32 against Keyport (outscored them all by herself). With 1,117 points to her name, she'll head into Year 4 with a chance to eclipse 1,500 and possible even 2,000 if she kicks things into another gear... which she is absolutely capable of!   [player_tooltip player_id='559077' first='Sidney' last='Smith'] | Roselle Park   Central Jersey, Group 1   664 Points | 33.2 PPG   Not only does she claim the title of overall SCORING CHAMP for the state this season, Sidney also ranks Top 10 in the nation in points per game! She is, by far, NJ's biggest stock-riser from a season ago. The Roselle Catholic transfer has been unconscious, breaking records along the way and putting everyone on notice! She recorded four 40-point games, including a career-high 48 against Whippany Park. Two of those 40-point games came back-to-back in mid-February, where she went off for 41 against Plainfield and followed that up with 47 against Johnson. With ridiculous speed and red-hot 3-point shooting, she could not be contained! Sid could see a 700-point season before it's all said and done, as RP takes on Brearley in Round 1 tomorrow evening.   [player_tooltip player_id='414237' first='Mackenzie' last='Teevan'] | Holmdel   Central Jersey, Group 2   471 Points | 18.8 PPG   Just when you thought Mackenzie couldn't get any better, BAM! SENIOR YEAR!! She was ridiculously good in Holmdel's twenty-five game regular season, posting sixteen double-doubles and three 30-point games, including a career-high 37 against Toms River North. She showed poise and fearlessness going up against some of the best teams from around the state: 25 points combined in two meetings with St. John Vianney and 38 points combined in three meetings with Red Bank Catholic. Mackenzie will look to continue her hot scoring when Holmdel sectional play vs Spotswood on Thursday.   [player_tooltip player_id='878692' first='Akeelah' last='Lafleur'] | Westampton Tech   Central Jersey, Group 3   461 Points | 18.4 PPG   The triple-double queen was a terror this regular season, notching four of those said trip-dubs and a career-high 33 points in a win over Northern Burlington. At 6'3", she makes scoring around the rim look easy, going off for at least 20 points on thirteen separate occasions. Her breakout season isn't over, however, with playoff action commencing tomorrow with top-seeded WT taking on Matawan. A 500-point season is in the works!   [player_tooltip player_id='583701' first='Francesca' last='Schiro'] | Hillsborough   Central Jersey, Group 4   567 Points | 21.8 PPG   Just 3 points away from 2,000 for her career, Francesca heads into the playoffs with purpose! The senior recorded her second consecutive 500-point regular season and may be well over the 600-point mark before it's all said and done next month. She scored the ball at a supremely high clip, notching five 30-point games, including a career-high 35 against Moorestown. She kicked off her senior campaign on December 14th by outscoring Linden 24-23 and never let her foot off the gas!   [player_tooltip player_id='414340' first='Macie' last='McCracken'] | Wildwood   South Jersey, Group 1   599 Points | 23.0 PPG   Macie has a chance to continue climbing the all-time state scoring list and keep making history when the Warriors begin their playoff campaign tomorrow. She tallied her third consecutive season with at least 500 points and 80 triples! This year also marks the third consecutive where she's averaged at least 22.0 ppg! She began Year 4 by tying a career-best 36 points (vs Pennsville) and never let up after that, going off for another four 30-point games, including tying her career-high again vs Eastern. Impressively enough, nearly half of her 599 points have come from 3-pointers, tallying 243 points from behind the arc. She ranks second on the all-time scoring list at Wildwood (2,381) and has a real chance to pass Kim Lee (2,387 points, St. Anthony of Jersey City Class of 1990), Janee'a Summers (2,400 points, Bound Brook Class of 2017), Kirsten Rossotti (2,400 points, Caldwell Class of 1998) and Megan Light (2,443 points, Gloucester Class of 1998) to land in the Top 25 all-time.   [player_tooltip player_id='865698' first='Acadia' last='Walters'] | Haddonfield   South Jersey, Group 2   510 Points | 18.2 PPG   The sophomore has been on fire in Year 2, recording nine games with at least 20 points, including a career-best 33 points in a dub over Collingswood. That game was, in fact, part of a torrid January streak that saw Acadia tally three 30-point performances, all wins. She'll look to keep this momentum going as Haddonfield enters the state tourney, with a First Round battle against Lower Cape May looming on Thursday.   [player_tooltip player_id='414395' first='Reese' last='Downey'] | Absegami   South Jersey, Group 3   604 Points | 23.2 PPG   The FDU commit reached 2,000 career points a few games ago, making this season and ultimately, career, one for the books! She has scored at least 400 points all four years, with this season marking her highest. Reese recorded six games with at least 30 points, including a career-high 40 in a big win over OLMA. The arc assassin did most of her damage from 3-point land, sinking seventy-nine triples en-route to 237 points. Absegami opens postseason play tomorrow against Toms River South.   [player_tooltip player_id='414394' first='Alivia' last='Mauz'] | Williamstown   South Jersey, Group 4   613 Points | 22.7   Liv turned up the heat in Year 4 and took it to opponents! She showed no mercy, tallying five 30-point games, including a career-high 36 against Gloucester Tech. Her prolific scoring saw her outscore the opponent three times this season, with devastating shooting from long range on full display (eighty-two 3's). She has a chance to reach 1,900 career points (currently at 1,883) when Williamstown takes on Gloucester Tech on Thursday.   [player_tooltip player_id='414401' first='Taylor' last='Francis'] | Pingry   North Jersey, Non-Public A   566 Points | 22.6 PPG   Sometimes it boggles my mind that basketball is Taylor's SECOND sport! Taylor has lit up the scoring column in Year 4, starting off the regular season by dropping 19 against Voorhees and wrapping it up today with 17 against Parsippany. In between, she tallied seven 30-point games, including a career-high 35 against Lawrenceville. Pingry begins postseason play on Friday vs St. Elizabeth, where Taylor will look to add to her 1,747 career total.   [player_tooltip player_id='559070' first='Jada' last='Lynch'] | St. Rose   South Jersey, Non-Public A   500 Points | 19.2 PPG   The state's top-ranked junior, Jada has been nearly unstoppable this season! She notched her 1,000th career point and recorded ten games with at least 20 points, including a career-high 40-point explosion vs powerhouse Red Bank Catholic. The mid-range master gave teams Hell since the season-opener where she dropped 23 on Ranney. Jada went on to average 19.5 ppg in the Shore Conference Tournament, where the Purple Roses finished runner-up. They head into the state tournament as the #2 seed, kicking off action on March 3rd against the winner of (7) Trinity Hall and (10) Immaculata.   [player_tooltip player_id='333330' first='Faith' last='Williamson'] | Saddle River Day   North Jersey, Non-Public B   459 Points | 20.0 PPG   When Faith hits the hardwood, she's nothing nice! The senior took it to another level this season, trumping last year's total by over one hundred points and giving opponents all the smoke! She recorded eleven games with at least 20 points, including a career-high 32 points against Prep power Blair. She was superb firing off the 3 ball, knocking down seventy-five of them for 225 points, making up for nearly half of her 459 total. SRD opens up postseason play against Villa Walsh on March 3rd.   *a final regular season game has been added for 2/27   [player_tooltip player_id='835956' first='Rhaiyna' last='Brown'] | Timothy Christian   South Jersey, Non-Public B   509 Points | 22.1 PPG   The sophomore recorded her second-straight 500-point season and did so in blazing fashion. With four 30-point games under her belt, including a season-high effort 37 against Piscataway Magnet where she also scored her 1,000th career point. Rhaiyna took over and outscored the opponent on two separate occasions this season, 29-20 against South River and 28-15 against South River.   [player_tooltip player_id='644270' first='Gabby' last='D'Agostino'] | Hun   Prep   633 Points | 21.8 PPG   The second highest scorer in the state this season, Gabby was a SCORING MACHINE! She tallied five 30-point performances, including a career-high 37 points in a win over Perkiomen (PA), part of a three-game February streak with at least 30 points. In fact, for the month of February, she was hottest she's been all season, averaging 28.6 ppg. If you're the opponent, the last thing you want to see is Gabby with the ball in her hands!
