We are coming to the end of our county rankings and Cape May County is next up. We will breaking down some of the top forwards in the area. Omarian McNeal (2021) | Wildwood McNeal was a big time scorer for a 20 win Wildwood team this season. He was a versatile player with great athleticism that could play anywhere on the floor. McNeal knew how to take over a game on the offensive end and get a win for Wildwood. He will return for one more season and look to do the same as a senior. [player_tooltip player_id="900385" first="Mike" last="Rhodes"] (2021) | Ocean City Ocean City was a strong team in the county this season. Gannon Brady will be back for his senior year and so will Rhodes. He is a big body down low that keeps the floor balanced. He was one of Ocean City’s main rebounders and their top scoring threat in the post. Dylan Delvecchio (2022) | Cape May Tech Delvecchio is a big body center that can dominate on both ends. There are very few true centers left in the game and Delvecchio is one of them. He has a soft touch around the rim and can score with is back to the basket. As Delvecchio becomes an upperclassman, he will become even more dynamic in the post. Jacob Bey (2023) | Lower Cape May Bey has emerged as a strong player in the post. In his first year, Bey showed that he can use his 6’4 frame to score on the post and be a rim protector on the defensive end. Bey is the type of player that programs like to have and trust moving forward. [player_tooltip player_id="900379" first="Jared" last="Hopping"] (2021) | Wildwood Catholic Wildwood Catholic will be in full rebuild mode after losing [player_tooltip player_id="766090" first="Taj" last="Thweatt"] and Jaheim white to high-level Division I programs. The team will need some players to step up who might not have been a huge factor. Hopping can be one of those players. He has great size and agility to become a factor on the post.
