South Jersey Group 2 X-Factors

<p>The last section to talk about in Group 2 is South Jersey, where the last two defending champions are primed to meet in the sectional final once again. Here are the South Jersey Group 2 X-Factors.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411402' first='David' last='Munro'], 6'7 PF Camden 2025</strong></h2>   <p>Munro has been a force for the High down low since he became eligible, averaging a near double-double with 19.1 points and nine rebounds per game. The 6'7 forward plays with good footwork in the post and has a soft touch around the basket. Munro is averaging a double-double in the Camden County Tournament and should replicate that production for Camden as the Panthers look to defend their state title.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411627' first='Jamir' last='McNeil'], 6'0 PG Middle Township 2025</strong></h2>   <p>McNeil has been essential to the Panthers' success during his time as a starter, leading them to the last two sectional finals. The Rider commit uses his quick first step to blow by his defender off the bounce and finishes in a variety of ways around the rim. McNeil had his five game streak of 20 points or more snapped in his last game and will look to start a new streak in the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1773152' first='Nesta' last='Rice'], 5'10 PG Medford Tech 2025</strong></h2>   <p>Rice has been one of the most productive prospects in the section over the last two seasons, scoring 1,060 points in only 52 games. The 5'10 guard is assertive with the ball in his hands as he aggressively attacks the rim and can finish through contact. Medford Tech is 3-0 on the season when Rice scores 30 or more points, which he will be looking to do during the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1919188' first='Drew' last='Harvey'], 5'8 PG Cinnaminson 2025</strong></h2>   <p>Harvey has come up clutch for the Pirates over the last three seasons and should do so again in the state tournament. The 5'8 guard has smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Harvey is a sharpshooting guard prospect who should torch the nets from distance during the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763471' first='Lamar' last='Little'], CG Overbrook 2026</strong></h2>   <p>Little has powered the Rams during their five game winning streak as he is averaging 18.6 points per game. He has a smooth release on his jumper and can knock down triples in bunches. Little is capable of putting up points in bunches, which is something that will help Overbrook make a deep run in the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2628229' first='Mike' last='Douglas'], 6'3 SG/PG Haddonfield 2026</strong></h2>   <p>Douglas does a little bit of everything for the Bulldogs and will put his versatility on display during the state tournament. The 6'3 guard wastes little motion in his release, but can also get into the paint off the bounce and score in the mid-range. Douglas has also shown some ability to play on the ball and his ability to run the offense effectively will be something to track in the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2786715' first='Max' last='Silvestri'], 6'2 SG Haddon Heights 2027</strong></h2>   <p>Silvestri has scored 32 points combined in his last three games and will be looking to heat up in the state tournament. The 6'2 guard plays with composure on the ball as he is rarely rattled and is unafraid of taking big shots in crunch time. Silvestri has a pair of 20-point games this season and will be looking to add to that total during the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2786721' first='Ty' last='Bonner'], 5'9 PG Lower Cape May 2026</strong></h2>   <p>Bonner is averaging 23 points per game over his last two games and is looking to carry over his hot scoring into the state tournament. The 5'9 guard has a clean release on his jumper and can shoot either off the catch or bounce. Bonner also plays with good floor vision and his distribution will be something to watch for during the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cole Toddings, 6'2 PF Barnegat 2025</strong></h2>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1412108' first='Mason' last='Krey'] </strong>has provided the Bengals with scoring pop on the perimeter, but Toddings has had a strong season on the interior. The 6'2 forward knows how to get position down low and rips down rebounds on both ends of the floor. Toddings' ability to control the glass will be something that will help Barnegat throughout the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Tyrone Washam, 5'10 PG Camden Eastside 2025</strong></h2>   <p>Washam has been a steady presence in the Tigers' backcourt over the last two seasons and is looking to lead them on a deep postseason run. The 5'10 guard uses his speed to blow by his defender and can finish through contact around the rim. Washam rarely makes bad decisions with the ball in his hands, which will be key to Camden Eastside making noise in the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Keegan Cohan, 6'0 CG Gloucester 2026</strong></h2>   <p>Cohan is one of the top shooters in the section and should put his shooting on display during the state tournament. The 6'0 guard has a smooth shooting stroke and can knock down triples in bunches. Cohan has made 13 threes over his last four games and should keep his hot shooting going during the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Julian Johnson, 6'0 SG Sterling 2025</strong></h2>   <p>Johnson will put his versatility on display during the state tournament as the Silver Knights look to make a deep run. The 6'0 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and wastes little motion in his release. Johnson is also a strong rebounder and will look to make plays on the defensive end this tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2509565' first='Markus' last='Polite'], 6'0 SG Cedar Creek 2026</strong></h2>   <p>Polite has taken a big step up this season and will be one to watch during the state tournament with his ability to score points in bunches. The 6'0 guard has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes nicely around the rim. Polite is capable of putting up points in bunches, which gives Cedar Creek a chance to make noise in the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2786761' first='Ezequeil' last='Cosme'], 6'1 CG Mastery Camden 2027</strong></h2>   <p>Cosme has been explosive for Mastery Camden in his first season as he has scored nearly 500 points. The 6'1 guard uses his handle to get to his spot on the floor and rises up nicely on his jumper. Cosme is a strong rebounder and his ability to work on the glass is something that will help Mastery Camden in the opening round of the state tournament.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Nassir Naji, 6'1 SF Pleasantville 2026</strong></h2>   <p>Naji is fresh off a career high 18 points in his last game and is looking to carry over that momentum into the state tournament. The 6'1 wing has a good first step, which he uses to beat his defender off the bounce and finishes nicely around the rim. Naji works hard on the glass and will have to be a force on the glass to pull off the opening round upset.</p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Omari Spencer, 6'4 PF Pennsauken Tech 2025</h2>   <p>Spencer has been the go-to guy on the interior for the Tornadoes and will need to bring his best game to the state tournament. The 6'4 forward uses his body well to get position down low and knows how to draw contact on the inside. Spencer has five games this season with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds and will need another performance like that in the opening round of the state tournament.</p>
