<p>Tejada and Seals may not match up against each other during the game, but they are two of the top players in Group 3. The latter has a smooth offensive game as Seals is comfortable running the offense, getting to the rim and knocking down jumpers from distance. Tejada has been lighting up the box score in the state tournament as he has at least 24 points, 11 rebounds and six assists in each game. The Towson commit can score at all three levels and plays with confidence with the ball in his hands. Tejada and Seals should put on a show in the North 1 Group 3 final as they are two of the top players in the Garden State.</p>

<p>The North 2 Group 1 final will be fun to watch with Lane and Bragg battling it out down low. The latter is more of a perimeter player as Bragg can put the ball on the floor and finish around the basket. Lane has a nice touch around the basket and is unafraid of drawing contact in the paint. They are both strong rebounders and move their feet on the defensive end. Lane and Bragg are physical forward prospects who should make plays throughout the sectional final.</p>

<h2><strong>Burlington City vs. Woodbury: Lovion Bell- [player_tooltip player_id='1773090' first='JaBron' last='Solomon']</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Bell and Solomon are the main scorers for their teams and should put up points in the sectional final. Bell is a marksman from deep as he has a quick release on his shot and can knock down triples in bunches. Solomon is a blur in the open floor as he uses his speed to beat his defender off the bounce and finish around the rim. The New Haven commit gets his teammates involved in the half court and gets deflections on defense. Bell and Solomon should put on a show as they look to take home the South Jersey Group 1 title.</p>

<p>George and Wilson should matchup against each other during the final, which will be fun to watch. The latter attacks the basket with a purpose as he is a good finisher at the rim and is unafraid of contact. Wilson is a strong rebounder and moves his feet on the defensive end. George can also finish nicely around the basket, but he can also knock down jumpers from behind the arc. The Central Jersey Group 1 final will be one to watch with George and Wilson running the show for their teams.</p>

<p>Nottingham and Ewing face off in the Central Jersey Group 3 final in an all-Mercer County clash. Dickerson uses his handle effectively as he knows how to get to the rim and finish around the basket. He is tough to box out at both ends of the floor and plays with quick hands on defense. Rankin has a clean release on his jumper and can finish through contact on his way to the basket. Dickerson and Rankin have been the main guys for their teams all season and it should continue in the sectional final.</p>
