They steamrolled their way to the Group 1 State Championship and Paradise, along with departed senior Morgan Marshall, led the way. She controlled the backcourt at both ends. University likes to play fast and pressure their opponents and Paradise is the catalyst for it all. She led the team in assists and in steals. She was 2nd in scoring and blocks and 3rd in rebounds and 3-pointers. She should achieve 1,500 career points, 600 career assists, 500 career rebounds and 500 career steals in her final season at University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='414430' first='Allie' last='Shenloogian']</strong><a href="https://prepgirlshoops.com/player/allie-shenloogian/"></a>&nbsp;- Park Ridge - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The unquestioned leader of the North 1 Group 1 Sectional Champions last season, Allie was too much to handle for opponents. Her offensive output has her on track to finish her career as one of the top 50 all-time leading scorers in NJ girls basketball history with well over 2,000 career points. She will also go over 400 career steals and 300 assists and has a shot to get 600 career rebounds. Allie shows a solid handle and patience with the ball and can score at multiple levels showing the most consistency inside the arc. She takes advantage of her steals to gets finishes at the rim in transition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">2nd Team</span></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='414402' first='Jessica' last='Devine']</strong> - Middlesex - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jess plays with a motor. She is up and down the court at a pace that most can't keep up with. She keeps the defense on their heels with her tempo. She loves to attack the rim and finish in transition and defensively she loves to create chaos. When she is hitting her 3s she is a tough mark because if you play up, she will blow by you. Last year she led Middlesex to a 17-14 record and to the Central Jersey Group 1 Sectional Finals where they fell to Shore. Her offensive output has her on track to finish her career as one of the top 50 all-time leading scorers in NJ girls basketball history with well over 2,000 career points. The East Stroudsburg commit also has a chance to achieve career marks of 600 rebounds, 600 assists, 600 steals and 200 3-pointers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">3rd Team</span></strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='583763' first='Riley' last='O'Sullivan']</strong> - Glen Ridge - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Riley led Glen Ridge to a 20-7 record and a trip to the North 2 Group 1 Sectional Finals.

With their top 4 scorers returning and the return of [player_tooltip player_id='601519' first='Annabel' last='Koss-DeFrank'] from injury, Glen Ridge should be able to once again make some noise in Group 1.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='525419' first='Abby' last='Hawes']</strong> - Mountain Lakes - Class of 2025</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abby led Mountain Lakes to a 19-8 record and a berth in the North 1 Group 1 Sectional Finals.
