Tenafly High School’s Rylie Theuerkauf Rylie Theuerkauf 5'7" | SG Tenafly | 2023 State NJ has been absolutely incredible through six games, scoring 222 points, good for an average of 37 points per game.
She has been deadly from the perimeter with 21 3-pointers. While Tenafly has struggled getting wins early on, Theuerkauf is putting on an absolute show in every game.
The sophomore sensation certainly showed glimpses of these types of performances last year as a freshman. After all, she averaged 21.7 points per game and scored 41 points and 37 points twice last season. That included an incredible 11 3-pointers in a 41-point outing against Dwight-Morrow.
Theuerkauf has shown the ability to get rebounds, block shots and get steals on the defensive end.
The Tenafly playmaker set the tone early on with an eye-opening 48 points, a career-high, to go with six steals in a win over Bergen Tech. She knocked down six 3-pointers in that game.
Theuerkauf then had 24 points against Teaneck before dropping 36 points in a two-point loss to Demarest. In that game, the sophomore hit four triples, made eight free throws and made five steals.
Theuerkauf has shown the ability to get to the foul line, as seen against Lodi Immaculate in Tenafly’s fourth game of the year. She had 12 of her 38 points come from the charity stripe. The sophomore then poured in 40 points against Old Tappan and 36 versus Pascack Valley.
Theuerkauf is on pace to an historic offensive season. If these six performances are any indication, this will be a very special and memorable season for the Tenafly star.
