Jada Branford Jada Branford 5'8" | C Cherokee | 2024 State NJ
Jada gives Cherokee a little bit of everything. She plays smart basketball and avoids racking up fouls. She is imposing under the basket and rebounds the ball well. Her stellar defense also creates stops & transition scoring opportunities.
Bryn Swift
Bryn Swift
Bryn has excellent hands in the low post. She has nice touch around the rim, but ferocious rebounding abilities. She is also efficient on defense as she loves to block shots. Bryn makes it very difficult for the opponent to try and shoot over her.
Carla Jones
Carla Jones
A lightning quick player with excellent court vision and court awareness. Carla scans the floor nicely always looking to dish to an open teammate. She can rack up points in a hurry if she gets hot early.
Kamile makes it tough for the opponent to get off a comfortable shot… and even if they do, and miss, Kamile is there to snatch away the rebound and kick it out to a guard. Awesome court vision for outlet passes to a streaking/cutting guard.
Leilani can get scorching hot from 3 if the defense isn’t at their very best. A consistent perimeter threat, Leilani provides her team with offensive firepower whenever needed. She loves picking pockets too, so if the opponent is sloppy with the ball, she will hawk for the steal.
Amber Miltenberg
Amber Miltenberg
A Varsity newcomer, Amber has adjusted nicely for Woodbridge this season. She has nice touch under the basket and stellar rebounding abilities. Her strength is an asset that sets her apart from most.
Olivia Holiday
Olivia Holiday
Her size and strength under and around the basket provides Watchung Hills with chances for quick scoring & rebounding opportunities. She can also knock down the occasional 3-pointer. This is a player you have to guard closely at every position.
Alexa Chapman
Alexa Chapman
When a player can score and defend equally as good, you can’t ask for much more. Alexa provides her team with quality minutes, efficient both on offense and defense. Her grit and determination is one of her best qualities on the court.
An excellent perimeter defender, Tatyanna will go for the steal, snatch it & speed down the court and convert for 2. She is a lightning fast guard who is tough to keep up with.
Symiaha Brown-Cobb Symiaha Brown-Cobb PG Paterson Eastside | 2023 State NJ
Symiaha Brown-Cobb Symiaha Brown-Cobb PG Paterson Eastside | 2023 State NJ
Symiaha’s stellar defense gives her team offensive opportunities. Her hands are constantly moving and scanning for the next steal. She can score, just as good as she can defend and dish out to open teammates. She’s one player you have to keep your eye on the entire team if you’re the opponent.
Genesis Mack
Genesis Mack
This is a Freshman who isn’t afraid of the moment, and that can be dangerous if you’re the opposing team. She has nice range and good rebounding positioning on the court. She has a high basketball IQ and can cut to the rim with ease.
