PRE SEASON AWARDS are really about the past and what a kid does in the off season. The regular season is really what matters in the end. When putting a pre season award blog together, I never include new players to the conference and freshman are only considered for the All Freshman Teams. These blogs are here to create excitement and conversation before the season starts so enjoy. The comments section is open, please keep it civil….. good luck to everyone this season!

EMMA THORNTON- JR- FORWARD – BARNEGAT
The numbers from last season were staggering….467 points and 384 rebounds. But what was more impressive was her development while playing at a high level of competitive aau. She was dominate at times against future D1 competition. Do no be surprise if she a member of the 2024 ALL SHORE TEAM, she is that good. This is a player that will break into the spolight before her division one basketball days start in 2 years from now
