<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1889492' first='Najai' last='Hines'], 6'9 C Plainfield 2025</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hines was an absolute force in the paint as he finished with 32 points and 30 rebounds in Plainfield's win against Linden. The 6'9 post uses his strong frame to get position down low and showed a good touch around the basket. Hines ripped down rebounds at both ends of the floor and ran the floor hard on both ends. He has been a walking double-double this season and should continue his dominance in the sectional semifinals against Westfield.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Zair Green, 6'1 SG Overbrook 2025</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Green had the nightly high as he dropped a career-high 38 points in the loss to Cinnaminson. The 6'1 guard attacked the basket strong as he finished well around the rim and was unafraid of drawing contact. Green used his handle to get to his spot on the floor and rose up nicely on his jumper. He ended his 2024-25 season with nearly 500 points as he was one of the top scorers in South Jersey throughout the year.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2349988' first='Michai' last='White'], 6'1 PG St. Benedict's 2028</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>White exploded for 35 points in the Gray Bees' loss to Hudson Catholic. The 6'1 guard has a tight handle, which he used to blow by his defender and finished craftily around the rim. White did more than just drive as he drilled jumpers from behind the arc and shot the ball with confidence. His fantastic freshman season has come to a close as White ends his first varsity season with a state record 763 points.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2341240' first='Aiden' last='Sosinov'], 6'5 PF Manalapan 2025</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sosinov did everything he could against North Brunswick as he dropped a game-high 33 points. The 6'5 forward showcased his good faceup game as he put the ball on the floor nicely and knocked down jumpers from behind the arc. Sosinov was able to get into the paint off the bounce and finished well around the basket. He was extremely productive during his senior season as Sosinov averaged 23 points and 12 rebounds a game.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1943564' first='Alex' last='Fessel'], SG Vernon 2025</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Fessel dropped 30 in Vernon's overtime win against Pascack Hills as he made plays time and time again down the stretch. He shot the ball with confidence from behind the arc and used his handle to get to his spot on the floor. Fessel did more than just shoot as he also got into the paint off the bounce and finished well around the rim. He is averaging 28 points per game in the state tournament and is looking to continue his hot scoring against Pascack Valley in the sectional semifinals.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1411627' first='Jamir' last='McNeil'], 6'0 PG Middle Township 2025</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>McNeil did a little bit of everything for the Panthers against Haddon Heights as he finished with 29 points, eight rebounds and six assists. The Rider commit used his quick first step to blow by his defender and finished well around the basket. McNeil played with composure on the ball as he rarely got sped up by on-ball pressure and found his open teammates in the halfcourt. His ability to make plays on and off the ball is something that will help Middle Township return to the sectional final.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2237119' first='Caleb' last='Williams'], 6'0 CG Paterson Eastside 2026</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Williams had a strong game for the Ghosts as he dropped a game-high 29 points. The 6'0 guard showed off a clean release on his jumper as he wasted little motion and set his feet before he shot. Williams moved well without the ball in his hands, freeing himself for open jumpers and layups in the halfcourt. He will be looking to have another game like he did against Hackensack in the state semifinals against the reigning sectional champion Ridgewood.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2202014' first='Rey' last='Weinseimer'], 6'1 PG Manasquan 2027</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Weinseimer was in control throughout the course of the game as he dropped a season-high 29 points. The 6'1 guard played with composure as he got to his spot on the floor with his dribble and rose up with confidence on his jumper. Weinseimer was able to find his open teammates in the halfcourt and moved well off the ball. He has come up big for the Warriors throughout the season and should continue to do so against Wall in the sectional semifinals.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2763440' first='Riley' last='Powell'], 6'5 PF Wildwood Catholic 2025</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Powell was dominant down low for the Crusaders as he finished off with 27 points and 13 rebounds. The 6'5 forward showed off a nice touch around the basket and was able to finish through contact. Powell ripped down rebounds at both ends of the floor and influenced a bunch of shots around the basket. Since Powell became eligible, he was a force in the paint as he had 15 double-doubles in the games he played this season and his presence in the paint will be missed by Wildwood Catholic.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2505096' first='Nick' last='Nsenkyrie'], 6'1 SG Rutgers Prep 2026</strong></h2>
<!-- /wp:heading -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nsenkyrie showed off his versatility in the state quarterfinals as he dropped a triple-double with 10 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. The 6'1 guard made good decisions with the ball in his hands as he found his open teammates in the halfcourt and rarely got sped up by on-ball pressure. Nsenkyrie worked hard for rebounds and slid his feet on the defensive end. Rutgers Prep will need Nsenkyrie to showcase his versatility again as the Argonauts travel to Holy Cross Prep on Thursday night.</p>
