There is lots of kids that do more talking than playing. More doing less rather than delivering more. But never forget there are still kids that get it done. Kids that you never have to question their work ethic or commitment. Kids that are not filled with potential but rather production. KAYDEN CLARK is the best two way player in the Shore 2025 class. She may be the best two way player in the state and few know it or realize it. But one thing is clear, college coaches know and if they don’t shame on them because KAYDEN CLARK is a whole different animal✊
When Kayden Clarke knocked down a bomb from the parking lot at the buzzer to beat state ranked Top 10 Cherokee many were surprised. They shouldn’t have been because Kayden Clark is one of the most clutch and big game players in the state of New Jersey. We just don’t talk about it. Just like when we talk about the best shooters in the Shore. When you ask this question the names Karpell, Katie Liggio, Madison Kocis and Nina EMNACE will certainly come up. But the name at the top of that list belongs to KAYDEN CLARK. That’s because she is not just a deadly shooter. She is consistent and more importantly shots with range and a high percentage regardless of how you defend her. There is another reason she is in a category of her own. Nobody and I mean nobody is in her world in terms of a work ethic. There are gym rats and then there are mega rats. You see Kayden Clark is in the gym 7 days a week for 4 plus hours. This is not talk or an exaggeration. This is a fact. Kayden Clark’s commitment to her craft is 2nd to none. I would not embarrass anyone by trying to compare them to her. This is a player in a whole different category. The type college coaches dream about.

Kayden Clark was an afterthought entering high school. She went to a high school that nobody took serious from a basketball standpoint. She was not expected to do much. Nobody talked about her because they didn’t care much about what she was doing. Well that seems so long ago. Since those days. She was named 1st Team All Freshman and has helped Ocean Twp become one of the best teams in the state. She also is one of the best defensive players in All of New Jersey. She is the best shot blocking guard I have seen in recent shore history. She attacks the glass like a power forward. When opponents seen Kayden Clark lined up against them on the the tip. They know one thing… IT’S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT! The competitive nature Kayden Clark brings to the table is nothing short of intimidating. That’s because she doesn’t care what your reputation is or what you’re suppose to be. Her goal is simple, seek and destroy and that is exactly what she does.
Soon Kayden Clark, will have here choice of D1 schools. Soon she will be a brand name in the state. These are facts because when you’re as talented as Kayden Clark and have her passion and desire. There is nothing that can stop you. When your basketball IQ matches your talent and work ethic… you become a problem for all. There will be more with bigger reputations. That has always been the case with Kayden Clark. But having bigger games no that’s a whole different story. Few can make that statement. Few can say they have accomplished more in every phase of the game. Few can say they have the mental and physical toughness. That’s because Kayden Clark is different than the rest…
