No Sophomore Slump For These Six

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For these six hoopers, there's no such thing as a "sophomore slump." They've been crushing it this season, boosting their stats in categories across the board:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1108575' first='Emmy' last='Gregoire'] | Roselle Park</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The perfect complement to [player_tooltip player_id='559077' first='Sidney' last='Smith'] this season, Emmy has already eclipsed her point total from last year. She's been huge on the boards, pulling down 14.1 RPG to go with 9.3 PPG, averaging nearly a double-double. She dropped a career-high 19 points vs Rahway and a career-high 23 rebounds vs Koinonia. Her interior defense has also been rock solid, swatting nearly 3 shots per contest (2.7 BPG).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='995787' first='Breya' last='LeTennier'] | DePaul</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>DePaul has one of the strongest back courts in the state and Breya is certainly a part of it. She is stepping up big time to complement dynamo guards [player_tooltip player_id='972291' first='Angelyn' last='Almonte'] and [player_tooltip player_id='981887' first='Giovanna' last='Burress'], averaging 9.9 PPG, 3.4 RPG, 2.4 APG &amp; 2.0 SPG for the undefeated Spartans. Her 3 ball has been red-hot, going off for three triples against North Star Academy and Holy Angels and tying a career-high with four against West Milford. She's locked in on both sides of the ball, committing to the assignment in order to get her team dubs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='862966' first='Grace' last='Darling'] | Saddle River Day</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In just fourteen games, Grace has already surpassed her 3-point total from her freshman season. She's drained thirty-eight triples for a clip of nearly 3 per game. She set a new career high in the very first game on the schedule, dropping 38 points on Eastern Christian and followed that up with four consecutive 20+ point games. The six-foot wing is averaging 20.0 PPG, 6.3 RPG, 2.1 APG, 1.9 BPG &amp; 2.7 SPG showing tremendous value in her all-court game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1273249' first='Siena' last='Jaworski'] | Egg Harbor</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Siena's growth has been exponential! She went from being a reserve playing limited minutes to now the leading scorer for the 13-4 Eagles. She set a career high on opening night vs Haddon Heights, tallying 23 points in the win. That was the first of twelve games in double-figure scoring through seventeen games, en-route to an average of 12.1 PPG. She efforts on defense have also been noteworthy at 2.1 SPG, third-best on the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='898190' first='Gianna' last='Sano'] | St. John Vianney</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gi is earning her minutes this season playing alongside numerous D1 commits [and future locks] on nationally-ranked SJV. She's getting great looks at the basket and even better looks finding teammates, carving out even the smallest of gaps in the defense. She's recorded career-highs in points, assists and steals; 12 points [twice] vs Manasquan and Red Bank Regional, 7 assists vs Potomac School (VA) and 4 steals [twice] vs Potomac School and Cherokee (GA). I've been super impressed with her poise against the nation's very best, tallying 6 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists against #1 Ontario Christian (CA).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='981942' first='Bri' last='Duque'] | Rutgers Prep</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bri has been a very important piece to the Argo's success this season, going 12-2 while playing one of the most difficult schedules in NJ. Season averages of 5.4 PPG, 2.2 RPG &amp; 1.5 APG have seen a big boost of confidence in her game. The work she put in over the summer with [program_tooltip program_id='714664' first='Team' last='Sharp'] has translated over nicely, with strong dribble penetration and smooth pull-up jumpers. A career-high 14 points came on January 5th vs Hunterdon Central, and made an impact vs power teams such as Franklin (8 points &amp; 2 steals), South Bronx Prep (6 points &amp; 8 rebounds) and Cardinal O'Hara (6 points).</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
