Te'Yala is a Swiss Army Knife on the court, showing off extreme versatility and an ultra-impressive two-way game. With averages of 19.6 ppg, 8.5 rpg, 4.0 spg, 2.4 apg, &amp; 1.3 bpg, she has proved she can do it all and do it quite well for one of the state's top-ranked teams.

There is simply no denying a talent this extraordinary!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='583758' first='Nila' last='Giraud'] | Montclair Immaculate</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Although officially listed as a "stretch 4," Nila plays what I call "big guard basketball." She is wickedly versatile and extremely effective inside and out, giving folks across the country this season a taste of how good she really is. Averaging a double-double at 15.8 ppg &amp; 10.5 rpg to go along with 1.8 apg, 1.3 bpg &amp; 1.8 spg, she has shown up and shown out against top dogs: 24 points &amp; 14 rebounds vs Saddle River Day, 14 points &amp; 9 rebounds vs Legacy Early College (SC), 11 points &amp; 10 rebounds vs Shabach Christian (MD), 12 points &amp; 13 rebounds vs Desert Vista (AZ), 24 points &amp; 17 rebounds vs University, 14 points &amp; 12 rebounds vs St. John Vianney, etc. Nila has decimated opponents in the paint and torched them from deep as well. She is, without question, one of the best two-way players in the entire state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='559085' first='Addison' last='Nyemchek'] | Red Bank Catholic</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not only is she one of the best sophomores in the state, but she's quickly become one of the best players regardless of Class.
