NJ Girls Basketball: Top Shooters in 2019-2020

Now that the season has ended, it is time to look at the final statistics and see which players had the best seasons. In this edition, we will take a look at the top shooters in girls’ basketball from this past season. <strong>Jessica Riepe (2021) | Marlboro</strong> Riepe was the top shooter in the state this season. She knocked down 97 three’s and she did it using a quick release and consistency. She set her season-high late in the year in a win over South Brunswick. She hit seven three’s on her way to 25 points. Riepe will have another season left and opposing defenses will have to game plan to stop her from shooting the ball. <strong>Shani Gerald (2020) | Manchester Regional</strong> Gerald was a force from deep since the beginning of the season. She made six three’s in the season-opener against Pompton Lakes. That jump-started her season. In a midseason victory over Elmwood Park, Gerald hit 10 three’s and finished with 32 points. Gerald shot a high percentage and her teammates looked for her from game’s opening tip. <strong>Abigail Scheidel (2020) | Nutley</strong> Scheidel was a big time scorer for Nutley with 511 points this season. She used the three-point line as a huge boost knocking down 90 of them. Scheidel scored 20 or more points 14 times this season. There was only one game this season where the Nutley star did not make a three-point shot. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="156159" first="Maddie" last="Hartnett"] (2020) | Chatham</strong> Hartnett was not just one of the best shooters in the state, she made a name for herself as one of the best complete players.
