The Class of 2020 has played their final high school games. In 2020-2021, they will not be on the floor so it is up to some players to step up so their teams can stay relevant. These are some of the biggest names that will step up and become No. 1 options.
Rachel Capua Rachel Capua 5'9" | SG Jackson Memorial | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Jackson Memorial
Capua averaged 19 points per game as a junior. She knocked down 62 three’s and was a threat for Jackson since game one. Next season, she will take the next step and become unstoppable. Kristina Donza Kristina Donza 5'9" | SG Jackson | 2020 State NJ is the No. 1 ranked player in the Class of 2020. She will be moving on to Navy which means Capua will step up and take over her role as the catalyst.
Eniya Scott Eniya Scott 5'6" | PG Bayonne | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Bayonne
This is not as much filling big shoes as continuing to be a star. Scott averaged 14.5 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game. Not to mention over three steals per game. And she was only a sophomore. Scott will return to Bayonne as one of the best players in the Class of 2022. The program is in good hands over the next two years.
Veyoni Davis Veyoni Davis 5'8" | CG Moorestown | 2024 PA (2022) | Moorestown Friends
Davis is another prospect that has completely arrived. The Moorestown Friends sophomore led the team with 20 points per game Isabella Runyan Isabella Runyan 5'10" | SG Moorestown | 2020 State NJ will be playing at Villanova next season but Davis has the team under control. She is a quick guard that can set her teammates up and score the ball. She is best with the ball in her hands and Moorestown Friends is not afraid to run the offense through her.
A’Nyah Barker A’Nyah Barker 5'6" | CG Immaculate Heart | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Immaculate Heart
Anna Morris Anna Morris 6'3" | C Immaculate Heart | 2020 State NJ was one of the top forwards in the state this season. Northwestern is getting a talented big next season but Immaculate Heart still has Barker on the perimeter. She is a talented scorer who sacrificed some of her offense this season. Barker is a talented passer and someone that can fill up a stat sheet.
Bella Vito Bella Vito 5'8" | CG Montville | 2021 State NJ (2021) | Montville
Vito created a dynamic duo with Emma Wax Emma Wax 5'10" | CG Montville | 2020 State NJ this season. Wax will be moving on to Marist and Vito will return for her senior season as the No. 1 option. She is a scorer at all three levels. Vito knocked down 37 three’s as a junior and got to the free throw line with regularity. Teams will now have to game plan for Vito having the ball in her hands at most times throughout a game.
Abigail Antognoli Abigail Antognoli 5'6" | PG St. Rose | 2021 State NJ (2021) | St. Rose
St. Rose is getting hit hard this offseason by losing both Brynn Farrell Brynn Farrell 6'0" | SG St. Rose | 2020 State NJ and Makayla Andrews Makayla Andrews 5'11" | SG St. Rose | 2020 State NJ . What they have coming back is guard on the perimeter that can score inside and out, rebound on both ends, and pass effectively. Antognoli will be one of the top guards in the state next season and she will lead St. Rose as far as they go.
Lyndsey Ross (2021) | Secaucus
Secaucus is losing a two-way threat in Damaris Rodriguez Damaris Rodriguez 5'5" | PG Secaucus | 2020 State NJ . They are a young team with five members in the Class of 2023. Ross will step up as a leader which is something she already was this season. Ross hit 46 three’s this season. She can fill it up from all over the floor.
