With the start of the abbreviated girls basketball season just a couple of weeks away, we decided to rank New Jersey’s best players. Normally, player rankings are done by class. For the purpose of this eight-part series, we grouped everyone together.
Let’s debate!
<strong style="font-size: 1rem;">1. [player_tooltip player_id="134606" first="Olivia" last="Miles"], Blair:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> The top-ranked point guard in the country has achieved a lifetime worth of accolades in her high school career. Her partner in crime, [player_tooltip player_id="134608" first="Dom" last="Darius"], left early for UCLA, so Blair will need Miles to do more.

That means trouble for the rest of the state.</span>
<strong style="font-size: 1rem;">5. [player_tooltip player_id="134626" first="Madison" last="St. Rose"], St. John Vianney:</strong><span style="font-size: 1rem;"> As a sophomore, St. Rose was the best player on the state’s best team.
