Five Players in Group 3 Poised To Surge

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The following five players in NJ's Group 3 classification could see a big jump in production this season. Let's dive in for a further look:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["913916"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af37a3ef4087"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ty has only scratched the surface of her potential, but I have a feeling Year 3 is going to turn some heads! She's a bucket, can battle for boards and get gritty defensively. If this team leans on Ty and she plays to her strengths, a special season could be in the cards for this budding star.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2025-2026: 10.9 PPG, 8.1 RPG, 4.2 SPG (11 games)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2026-2027 projection: 15.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 4.0 SPG</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1245588"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af37d6cd3e18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramapo lost five senior to graduation, including three starters who accounted for over 70% of the scoring. This frees up room for Liv to get some shine in Year 2. The talent and potential is all there, and if given ample minutes to display her skillset, I think she can be both a starter and important contributor this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><strong>2025-2026: 2.4 PPG, 1.4 SPG</strong></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2026-2027 projection: 7.0 PPG, 2.0 SPG</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158019"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af383de3fb9f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After an abbreviated 7-game junior season, Leayana is back, fully healthy and ready to make her presence felt once again. A very versatile game makes life miserable for opponents because of her ability to score and defend inside &amp; out. One of two seniors this season, she'll look to lead Teaneck to another deep postseason run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2025-2026: 11.1 PPG, 9.1 RPG, 3.6 SPG (7 games)</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2026-2027 projection: 15.0 PPG, 10.0 RPG, 1.0 BPG, 3.5 SPG</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1999985"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af3868dc65e1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We've seen incremental progress throughout her high school career, but I think she's saving the best for last! Old Tappan will have a plethora of talent, with Liv being one of two returning leading scorers from a team that made it to the G3 state final. She's done a lot of winning in her past three seasons and steps into a leadership role that could see career best numbers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2025-2026: 6.0 PPG</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2026-2027 projection: 10.0 PPG</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["835904"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6af389dfee704"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Offensive explosiveness and defensive grittiness are two main aspects of Brielle's game that will likely see career-high numbers now in Year 4. This team returns nearly everyone with Brielle returning as the leading scorer, ready to make Mainland a Group 3 power once again. Her teammates will lean on her for guidance, clutch buckets and crucial stops.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2025-2026: 12.9 PPG, 4.8 RPG, 1.7 SPG </em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>2026-2027 projection: 15.0 PPG, 5.0 RPG, 2.5 SPG</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
