Samantha Serrano Samantha Serrano SG Holy Angels | 2024 State NJ – #5-Holy Angels
In a dominant 51-33 over #4-Ramapo, Sam once again led her team in the scoring column. After a slow start to this game for both teams, Sam exploded for 17 2nd quarter points.

In another hard-fought win, Teaneck beat #6-River Dell 58-51 to advance to the Bergen County Semifinals. Leayana continues to be a leader in the absence of veteran players. Though Jillian Carter Jillian Carter 5'7" | CG Teaneck | 2026 State NJ returned in this one, they were still playing without starters Lexi Carnegie Lexi Carnegie 5'9" | SF Teaneck | 2026 State NJ and Demi Simpson Demi Simpson 6'0" | PF Teaneck | 2024 State NJ .

She is averaging 11+ppg and 4+rpg this season and has the most total points on the team. Teaneck will need another strong effort against #7-Old Tappan in the Bergen County Semifinals.
Erin Frazier Erin Frazier 6'0" | C Teaneck | 2024 State NJ – #3-Teaneck
Erin’s senior leadership was on full display in the Bergen County Quarterfinals against #6-River Dell. It was a 58-51 victory that saw Teaneck playing without their leading scorer in their leading rebounder. Erin stepped up and led Teaneck in every category with 21 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks. She also went 7-7 from the free throw line. It was her 4th double double of the season and 3rd double digit scoring game in the last 5. Averaging 8+ppg and 9rpg her size and physicality will definitely be needed against #7-Old Tappan and their trio of bigs in the Bergen County Semifinals.
