<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The following six players put on impressive performances across the state in their respective Non-Public A &amp; B sectional finals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559820' first='Addy' last='Platt'] | Gill St. Bernard's</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>North Jersey, Non-Public B </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A game-high 16 points helped GSB win their first sectional chip since 2012! To put that in perspective, Addy was ready to begin her kindergarten journey around that time! The versatile senior guard/wing played gritty basketball, getting buckets at will and maintaining a high level of energy and execution through all four quarters.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='816416' first='Emily' last='Mattson'] | Saddle River Day</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>North Jersey, Non-Public B</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A team-high 13 points, including two triples, kept SRD competitive in their battle with top-seeded GSB. Big bursts of energy and quickness in transition kept points on the board and showed a lot of fight. Emily chipped in where she could, tallying 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559085' first='Addison' last='Nyemchek'] | Red Bank Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>South Jersey, Non-Public A</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Addy did everything in her power to list the Caseys past an elite Vianney squad. She poured in a game-high 22 points and played stellar defense in the 15-point dub. A huge 3rd quarter saw her two-way prowess stand front and center, helping RBC to a 18-5 surge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='959812' first='Amanda' last='Eggers'] | Gloucester Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>South Jersey, Non-Public B</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>11 points, including a game-high two 3's helped the Rams power their way to a 13-point win over powerhouse Rutgers Prep and a second consecutive sectional title. She handled the ball with care and did a great job breaking the Argos' famous full-court press. Lots of poise in a winner takes all environment!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559076' first='Jayah' last='Curtis'] | Morris Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>North Jersey, Non-Public A</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jayah is a proven winner, plain and simple. A state champ in NPB last year with Montclair Immaculate, she is back in familiar territory, this time leading the way with 16 points to help MC land in the NPA state final. She was impressive in a blowout over Pingry, scoring from everywhere and pressuring the ball on defense. She also tallied 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='667787' first='Jacqueline' last='Edelman'] | Morris Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>North Jersey, Non-Public A</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the best 3-point shooters in the state caught fire in the sectional final! She knocked down four triples en-route to 14 points, and also tallied 4 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 block and 2 steals. Parking lot range and a quick-snap release, Pingry had no answer on how to contain her. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
