<p class="text-gray-700">One of the best rookies in the region last winter, Pena is back performing at an even higher level for Bishop Eustace. The sophomore has 85 points through eight games en route to a 5-3 record for the Crusaders. She excels at finding the net from short range or distance and has a pretty step-back shot.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0" small forward has also played well on the defensive side of the ball, racking up several blocks and steals so far this winter. Look for her to continue playing at a high level as the season progresses.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">As one of the best all-around freshmen in the region, Pela can do it all. Offensively, she leads Camden Catholic with 84 points en route to a 3-2 record. Her knock-down three-ball is a big credit to the Fighting Irish's improved play, as Camden Catholic finished with a below-average 7-20 record last season. Her 13 threes mark eight more than the rest of the team combined--- woah!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>The 5'7" point guard has also proved to be an asset on defense, leading the team with 13 steals. She recorded a career-high six steals in her game against Westampton Tech on January 4.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Just about everyone in Paul VI's starting five is "eye-catching" as the Eagles have cruised to an undefeated 5-0 start. However, Stagliano is catching everyone's eye as one of the best sophomores in the Garden State. That couldn't be more evident than on Sunday when the 5'6" shooting guard dropped a career-high 27 points in a 72-69 victory over Universal Audenried Charter (PA) in the Blue Star Invitational. No opposing defenses have had an answer for her automatic deep three-ball as she's made a team-high 16 long-range shots so far this winter. Stagliano is an essential offensive weapon for the No. 4 ranked team in New Jersey.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Sellers makes the list alongside classmate [player_tooltip player_id='789189' first='Brooke' last='Stagliano'] as she has also been a key contributor for one of the hottest teams in the state. The 5'4" point guard has improved drastically since her rookie campaign and it's been shown on the court. Her average of 10.6 points a game through five games is impressive for someone who scored just 70 last year in a limited role. She has full-court awareness and leads the team with 14 assists. She's also shown efficient rebounding, not afraid to go up to the glass. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Racobaldo has been a star rookie for Bishop Eustace and impacts the game in several different ways. She has a team-high 56 rebounds, but also plays great defense with an average of two blocks per contest. Standing at 6'0", she'll be a force to reckon with as the season progresses.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} -->
<p class="text-gray-700">Opposing defenses need to watch out for Bishop Eustace over the next few years as Racobaldo and [player_tooltip player_id='789185' first='Angelina' last='Rose Pena'] together are extremely hard to defend.</p>
