St. Rose was a star already after her freshman season but it is impossible not to mention her once again. Her stock continued to rise as she led St. John Vianney to a No. 1 ranking in New Jersey. As a sophomore, St. Rose won the New Jersey Player of the Year award and it would be a shock for this to be her last. St. Rose is a complete point guard who can do it all on both ends of the floor.
<p class="Body"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt">[player_tooltip player_id="134628" first="Saniah" last="Caldwell"] | Saddle Day River</span></strong></p>
Caldwell stepped up for Saddle Day River this season and was an All-State selection. There is no doubt that she is one of the top players in the state. Caldwell is a dynamic scorer who can fill up a stat sheet quick. She can shoot from deep or use her speed and athleticism to get by her defenders. Caldwell will be a must watch player next season.
<p class="Body"><strong><span style="font-size: 12.0pt">[player_tooltip player_id="134631" first="Ally" last="Carman"] | Red Bank Catholic</span></strong></p>
Carman, along with [player_tooltip player_id="134627" first="Justine" last="Pissott"], have Red Bank Catholic in a great spot for the future. The Caseys are a powerhouse and that is much in part because of Carman’s growth as a player. She has the size to dominate down low but what makes her special is her footwork and strong hands. Carman can outsmart a defender on the post at will.

Scott filled up the stat sheet averaging 14.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game. She added 3.5 steals per contest and even had an 11-steal performance early in the season.
