<p>A transfer [and reclass] that sent shockwaves throughout the state, Jax will take her talents to Blair this season and bring firepower to an already loaded team. It's no secret that her strength lies in her 3-point shooting, but she'll look to evolve her skillset and amplify her two-way game with the Bucs. She's no stranger to facing nationally ranked competition [at Morris Catholic], and if anything, the opponents will only get tougher! She was one of the best players in the state last season, averaging 13.7 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 2.3 APG & 1.8 SPG while leading MC to the NPA state final.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='982731' first='Casey' last='Zammit'] | Red Bank Catholic</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After two successful seasons with Holmdel, Casey will step up to the challenge at perennial state power RBC. She helped keep the Hornets competitive in a rebuilding year, leading them in scoring for averages of 13.0 PPG. Speed and explosiveness around the basket is something RBC has decimated opponents with in years past, and bringing in Casey will give them just that as they reload their depleted roster. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1124977' first='Dani' last='Daley'] | Absegami</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Dani was a two-way menace last season at Wildwood Catholic, with one of the highest steals totals in the state (168). Her all-around guard play is exactly what 'Gami needs to be steady in the back court this season, as Dani put together averages of 20.0 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 3.7 APG & 5.8 SPG through twenty-nine games in her sophomore campaign. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1351067' first='Lola' last='McGonigle'] | Ocean City</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After missing the 2025-2026 season with an ACL injury, Lola is back and in new threads this time around! She made a name for herself at Wildwood Catholic with dynamic play running the point, totaling 817 points & 263 assists in fifty-five games, good for 14.9 PPG & 4.8 APG career average. One of her biggest strengths, her 3 ball, will wreak as much havoc at Ocean City as it did at Catholic, where she sank 137 of them, nearly a 3-per-game clip!</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='651518' first='Lauryn' last='Downing'] | Blair </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There's no shortage of electricity in Lauryn's game, something the MAPL is about to find out! Her ability to manipulate and get past the defense, score, facilitate and defend makes her the total package at the PG spot. In her years at STA, she proved she can compete against some of the biggest and baddest teams in the Tri-State Area. Now, with the Bucs, she'll face elite national competition in hopes to further expand her skillset and get herself college-ready!</p>
