Twenty Players in South Jersey Eyeing Milestones This Season

Once the season kicks off, these twenty players will be locked in and hyper-focused on reaching some pretty big milestones in their respective high school careers.   [player_tooltip player_id='564263' first='Lauren' last='Cella'] | Holy Spirit   The graduation of leading scorer Sabrina Little means Lauren will have to carry more of the heavy load in scoring this season, a task I'm certain she's just fine with! The senior knows a thing or two about putting the ball through the hoop, trailing on Little in scoring the last two seasons. Now just 286 points away from 1,000, she'll look to keep Holy Spirit competitive in the CAL while working toward the major milestone.   [player_tooltip player_id='835898' first='Kirsten' last='Gibson'] | Cherry Hill West   Kirsten keeps turning up the heat with every passing season. She enters Year 3 with 824 points on her resume and likely to join the 1K Club by mid-January. The arc assassin already crossed 100 career 3's as a sophomore and it's safe to assume she'll reach this next milestone on a signature 3-point dagger.   [player_tooltip player_id='827087' first='Juliette' last='Mirigliani'] | Clearview   Juliette took on the role of primary scoring option last season, skyrocketing her career total to 760 and putting her just 240 points away from 1,000 entering her senior year. Her offense comes on a mix of transition layups and deep 3 balls and she's likely to join the 1K Club by mid-season.   [player_tooltip player_id='835906' first='El-Anita' last='Joe-Samuel'] | Lenape   One of the state's most skilled scorers, El-Anita heads into Year 3 just 51 points away from 1,000. With wicked versatility, she's a true three-level scorer who can go off for 25 or 30 on any given night. That being said, her achieving this major feat in the second or third game of the season wouldn't shock me one bit!   [player_tooltip player_id='600904' first='Taison' last='Parker'] | Atlantic City   Taison is the Vikings' fearless leader who will look to take on most of the scoring duties after the graduation of five seniors, two of which were starters. She'll look to notch 300+ points for a second consecutive season and reach 1,000 for her career (304 points away).   Janderlys Reyes | Pleasantville   In two seasons of high school hoops, Janderlys has racked up 733 points, putting her in a great position to reach 1K now in her senior campaign. Reliable 3-point shooting and speedy fast breaks are two weapons in her arsenal of tricks.   [player_tooltip player_id='600878' first='Norah' last='Quinn'] | Cinnaminson   Norah does a fantastic job controlling the front court and playing tough around the rim. Her aggressive bucket-getting has tallied 724 career points, putting her 276 away from the big 1K.   [player_tooltip player_id='601341' first='Sophia' last='Georgiades'] | Rutgers Prep   Splitting her career between Ridge and Prep, the Boston U commit has tallied 985 points with a chance to notch her 1000th in the very first game of the season. She's one of the most electric bucket-getters in the state equipped with a tenacious two-way game. I'm calling it here and now: Sophia gets No. 1,000 on a deep 3 ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='835864' first='Emma' last='Harris'] | Haddon Heights   Emma's high-powered offense could result in her being one of the top scorers in program history when it's all said and done. She enters her junior season just 81 points away from 1K, a milestone she's likely to achieve before year's end. Her 3-point shooting prowess will once again be on full display once December rolls around!   [player_tooltip player_id='865698' first='Acadia' last='Walters'] | Bishop Eustace   With 874 points to her name at Haddonfield, Acadia sits just 126 points away from 1,000 for her career. She's a heavy-hitter who does a great job at breaking down the defense and firing off high quality shots. New threads this time around, but same prolific scoring mentality!   [player_tooltip player_id='831437' first='Khalia' last='Lewis'] | OLMA   One of the top rebounders in the state the last two seasons, Khalia is an absolute menace when it comes to post play and commanding the paint. Her physicality makes for a ton of putbacks and tough 2's, sometimes through double and triple teams! This season could see a rare double 1K milestone in points and rebounds, needing just 80 points and 207 rebounds for both!   [player_tooltip player_id='559039' first='Madison' last='Kocis'] | St. John Vianney   The UPenn commit and certified sniper already passed 100 career triples last season and now sets her sights on 1,000 career points. With just 102 to go, an early season milestone is likely for a player who's never met a defense she couldn't score on! She makes it look easy against some of the very best teams in the country.   [player_tooltip player_id='559073' first='Grace' last='Feeney'] | Trinity Hall   One of the most talented SF's in the state, Grace can score the ball from just about anywhere. She's racked up 780 points through three seasons, putting her just 220 points away from 1,000. The Monarchs consistently play a very difficult schedule, which will make this milestone that much more impressive.   [player_tooltip player_id='559135' first='Stella' last='Lockhart'] | St. John Vianney   Stella has accumulated 764 points with stints at both Gill St. Bernard's and SJV. Now entering her third and final season with the Lady Lancers, she's in prime position to reach career point No. 1,000 before heading off to Providence next Fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='559080' first='Jordan' last='Barnes'] | St. Thomas Aquinas   Jordan has amassed 882 points in three season at STA, competing against some of the best teams in the Tri-State area year after year. The Rider commit has mastered the mid-range and is known for her fiery competitive edge, completely unafraid of the biggest and baddest opponents. The graduation of four seniors from last season, including starters Gianna Chuffo and Leah Crosby, will see the ball in her hands more than ever before.   [player_tooltip player_id='559046' first='Ava' last='LaMonica'] | Rutgers Prep   One of the toughest and strongest guards in New Jersey, Ava has paced the Argonauts for the past three seasons with a do-it-all mentality. She enters Year 4 just 218 points away from 1,000, a milestone she's likely to reach before the playoffs as RP navigates through a wildly difficult schedule.   [player_tooltip player_id='651514' first='Rebecca' last='Benichou'] | Wildwood   Rebecca is quickly emerging as one of the best 3-point shooters in the state. Parking lot range sees deep daggers from multiple feet behind the arc. Already with 153 to her name, she is likely to reach 200 this season, as well as 1,000 career points (278 away).   [player_tooltip player_id='601414' first='Angela' last='Wilber'] | Wildwood   Like teammate [player_tooltip player_id='651514' first='Rebecca' last='Benichou'], Angie has the opportunity to reach two major milestones this season: 200 career 3-pointers and 1,000 career points. She'll aim to hit at least 34 triples and 188 points to reach both, something that is highly likely given her track record the previous three years with the Warriors.   [player_tooltip player_id='898071' first='Reagen' last='Powell'] | Middle Township   Someone who saw a breakout year as a junior, Raegen heads into her final go-around with the Panthers just 159 points from the big 1-0-0-0. Fearless guard play has transformed her game since freshman year as she's gotten more confident and more efficient, taking Middle all the way to the Group 2 state semis in March. Look for the milestone sometime in mid-late January.   [player_tooltip player_id='831439' first='Kezia' last='Brackett'] | Glassboro   Kezia has a chance to etch her name into the history books at Glassboro as she seeks her 1,000th career point as a junior! Scoring 400+ points in the past two seasons, she has put the Bulldogs on her back and poured in buckets to solidly her position as a furious scoring threat. She's 191 points removed from the major milestone, something she'll likely achieve in a mid-season conference game.

Once the season kicks off, these twenty players will be locked in and hyper-focused on reaching some pretty big milestones in their respective high school careers.
