Star Ledger Group 4 Players to Watch - Click Me or Read Below!

GROUP 4 PLAYERS TO WATCH
Taylor Brown, Paterson Eastside
The Clemson-bound senior is explosive in the paint, seemingly getting to the rim at will. Brown also has the speed and vision to grab a defensive rebound and lead the transition offense. She helped Paterson Eastside win the Group 4 title while averaging 18.7 points and 12.0 rebounds as a junior, when she was a Second Team, All-State selection.

Rebecca Cobb, Freehold Borough
Cobb will be the senior leader for Freehold Borough this season, and she is on pace to reach the 1,000-point mark. The center averaged 15.5 points and 8.6 rebounds last season.


Kayla Diaz, Paterson Eastside
Diaz runs point for a talented Paterson Eastside squad, and she’ll once again serve as one of the team’s key facilitators in 2014-15. Along with her ability to move the ball, the NJIT-bound Diaz can beat opponents with her accurate 3-point stroke.

Kelly Douglass, Clifton
Douglass was Clfton’s leading scorer last season, netting 14.2 points per game. The Hartford commit will look to help Clifton build off its 14-13 finish last season.

Kyiarah English, East Orange
With East Orange bringing back its five leading scorers from last season, English will again play a key role for a team with high expectations. The Bucknell commit scored 12.3 points per game last season to aid a balanced offense.

Icies Hammer, North Bergen
Hammer averaged 18.3 points per game as a junior while pacing North Bergen to a 20-6 finish. She’ll again be one of Hudson County’s top scoring threats.

Kaitlyn Healy, Colts Neck
The Seton Hall-bound guard will provide a veteran presence for a Colts Neck team coming off a 19-10 season and the Central Jersey, Group 4 title. Healy will be key to generating offense, whether it be her shooting touch or distributing to teammates.

Erica Junquet, Monroe
Junquet was at the heart of Monroe’s breakout season last year, leading the team at 13.4 points per game while also fueling the team’s crisp ball movement. The senior guard will again be pivotal for a Monroe team looking to build off last season’s success.

Alex Kerr, Montclair
Kerr was Montclair’s second leading scorer last season at 13.0 points per game, and she’ll again be turned to as a key offensive weapon. The New Haven commit also brings a terrific defensive prowess to the table, as she can go toe-to-toe with some of the state’s best.

Jessica Kovatch, Phillipsburg
Kovatch was the West Jersey Player of the Year after her 20.7-point junior campaign where she helped Phillipsburg to a 23-4 finish. The St. Francis commit also recorded 88 steals last season.

Madison McGlone, Bayonne
McGlone led a balanced Bayonne offense in scoring at just over 10 poitns per game last season, playing an important role in the team’s 23-5 season. With the graduation of a few seniors, McGlone will be leaned upon even more during her junior season.

Adreana Miller, Franklin
Franklin lost no seniors to graduation, and Franklin will lead a strong group looking to replicate its successful 2013-14. Miller averaged 14.9 points per game and knocked down 48 3-pointers to earn a Third Team, All-State selection.

Adora Moneme, Union
Moneme averaged a double-double during her junior season at Union, scoring 11.1 points and hauling in 14 rebounds per game. The forward will be an reliable presence in the paint for a team that won 23 games last season.

Dayna Sclafani, East Brunswick
East Brunswick enjoyed a terrific turnaround season in 2013-14, and Sclafani headlined a strong group of underclassmen that made it possible. The Chestnut Hill commit will again be a key facilitator for the Bears’ balanced attack.

Lillian Scott, Westfield
Scott tallied 17.5 points per game last season and fueled Westfield to 23 wins. She along with fellow senior Jackie Knapp headline a strong backcourt for the Union County team.

Kristin Smith, Rancocas Valley
Smith will play a big role for Rancocas Valley in the paint. The forward is a top-notch rebounder and has the ability to disrupt shots on opponents driving to the basket.

Isabella Therien, Cherokee
The sophomore will be the linchpin for Cherokee on both ends of the floor. The guard is the team’s top scorer, and she’s also a strong rebounder and resilient defender.

Tori Wagner, Freehold Township
The St. Francis commit is poised for a big senior season, and the 6-3 Wagner should be one of the top front court players in the Shore.

Kendrea Williams, Piscataway
Williams averaged 14.9 points per game as a sophomore and helped Piscataway win its second GMC Tournament title in as many seasons. Williams enters her junior campaign as one the GMC’s top scorers.

Nikola Williams, Shawnee
After helping Shawnee make a run to the Group 4 title game last season, Williams will look to do it again as a senior. She led the team in scoring at 16.3 points per game last season, and she was also the team’s top rebounder.
