Ten Players in Central Jersey Eyeing Milestones in 2025-2026

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Once the season kicks off, these ten players will be locked in and hyper-focused on reaching some pretty big milestones in their respective high school careers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601517' first='Ava' last='Coyle'] | Shore</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ava enters Year 4 just 218 points removed from 1,000! Last year saw a career-high total of 372 points, so if that scoring is any indication of things to come, expect Ava to reach 1K well before the postseason. A mix of slashing drives and hot 3-point are sure to see points tally quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601511' first='Gabriella' last='Flanzbaum'] | Keansburg</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With just 276 points to reach 1,000, Gabriella will put her best foot forward in her senior campaign. She was the leading scorer on her team last season, but the graduation of third-leading scorer Lindsay Rivera could see her score it a more furious pace.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='601340' first='Sadie' last='Fleming'] | Manville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A healthy season could see Sadie eclipse the rare 1K/1K double in points and rebounds. The post presence is just 104 points and 39 boards away from the feat and etching her name into the NJ girls basketball history books.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='600883' first='Amanda' last='Cech'] | Florence</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>281 more points will see Amanda reach 1,000 for her career, making her the 10th Flash girl to hit 1K. A balanced mix of inside-out scoring may even see her beat her sophomore year total of 361 points! If her 3-point shot goes off, she can really light it up in a hurry!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='865925' first='Clover' last='Spaulding'] | STEMCivics</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The small and scrappy junior guard is 304 points away from the big 1K! So far, she has eclipsed that total in both her freshman and sophomore years, so the likelihood of her reaching this milestone before playoffs roll around is high. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559133' first='Erin' last='Reid'] | Rumson-Fair Haven</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Erin sure knows a thing or two about scoring. In three years, she's racked up 765 points, leaving her just 265 points away from 1,000. Her terrific two-way game allows her to force a ton of turnovers which she then converts to quick-blitz offense. She'll likely join the 1K Club by mid-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='871260' first='Vicky' last='Zaniecki'] | Metuchen</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Just 124 points to go until Vicky joins the 1,000-Point Club for Metuchen! She has poured in buckets the past few years, controlling the paint area and dominating from 12-15 feet. After tallying 454 points last season, she could very well be saving her best for last in Year 4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831443' first='Gabby' last='Hill'] | Spotswood</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two huge scoring seasons with the Chargers has put Gabby in prime position to reach 1K in her junior year. She sits just 295 points away after notching 305 as a freshman and 400 as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559077' first='Sidney' last='Smith'] | Roselle Park</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the nation's leading scorers from a season ago returns for more in her final go-around with the Panthers, After putting up an explosive 729 points in her junior year [and eclipsing 1,000 points], Sid now has the chance to join an exclusive list of NJ hoopers to reach 2,000. She's 671 points removed from the milestone, a number that is unreachable for many players in a season, but not her!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='831952' first='Sydney' last='Joseph'] | North Brunswick</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A scoring machine for Raiders, Sydney enters her junior campaign 252 points away from reaching 1,000. With her ability to go off for 25+ on any given night, this milestone could very well be reached before February rolls around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
