THE SHORE CONFERENCE 2030 GOLDEN DOZEN
Today we give you the 2030 GOLDEN DOZEN. Like every year this is a peek into the future. Like always, many on this list will make their mark right out of the gate while others often will find success later in their career. One thing is clear about the Golden Dozen every year. Some kids will meet expectations and fulfill their potential. The players on this list I have personal seen play. There are a few things about the Golden Dozen you must understand
*No politics, my choices are based on performance to this point in their careers
*Now please understand this, A PLAYERS IMPROVEMENT CURVE is the most important thing when trying to predict the future. I can say with 100% certainty I know the improvement curve of every kid on this list except ONE.
* Competitive nature matters and no kid on this list can run from this (College coaches do your homework. You have been warned)
* Work Ethic matters
* Parents play a huge role in the future of our Golden Dozen(check the history).
GYM RATS…. when you see this symbol by a players name. It signals they are a gym rat. These players are rare and always exceed their potential and elevate your culture and team. Never pass on a gym rat!
This 2030 GOLDEN DOZEN is as impressive. This class is loaded with talented players with big futures. Many will make immediate impacts at their high schools. In most years a class that starts with 6 or more D1 players is considered elite. This year the 2030 Shore Golden Class have 4 D1 locks out the gate. This class has players with next level positional size, shooters and at least one next level play-maker. But there are some things about this class you want to play close attention too. Many of Top players in the class have lacked a competitive nature. This is rare for rising talented Golden Dozen Freshman, also the parents in this class present a different type of problem that we have not seen in recent years (College coaches who do not do their homework regarding this class are going to pay a awful price). How all this will all play out in 4 years will be interesting to say the least. One thing is clear, this class has a chance because it has a whole a real ‘BIG” upside.
SOFIA RUDE- 6’1″ – SHOOTING GUARD- RBC
She is clearly heads and shoulders above the rest of the class. SHE IS ON A TOTAL DIFFERENT LEVEL. She is one of the TOP 3 players in the 2030 class across the state of New Jersey. She is the ultimate gym with the potential to be a Player of The Year in both the State and Shore Conference. She has next level size and is a elite shooter with the ability to post up. Here ball handling skills and high IQ passing skills make her the perfect point forward. All eyes will be on Sophie over the next 4 years. Sofia is a rare talent and one day could be a all time great at RBC if her inner circle matches her talent and dedication. She is a gym rat from the heavens who is highly coachable and “DRAMA FREE”. SHE ENTERS THE 2026-27 SEASON HAS THE FRESHMAN CLASS GOAT
VANESSA VOWTERAS – 5’9″- WING- MANASQUAN
If Sophia Rude enters the Shore as the best player in the 2030 class. Make no mistake Vanessa Vowteras enters as the player with the biggest upside. Due to her inner circle, drama free parents and god given talent. She just may be the best TOTAL package in the class on and off the court. Do not be surprise when all shakes out if she is the class goat. She will make a serious run at Freshman of the Year. That’s because her improvement curve has been massive over the past 2 years. She is athletic, skilled and has a next level competitive nature. She is explosive off the bounce and her quickness is special. She is the sister of Calistia Vowteras one of the best 2028’s in the state. Both are future D1 locks!
MADELYN STRUBBLE- 6’2″- FORWARD- TRINITY HALL
The upside for Madelyn Strubble is hard to put into words. She has made huge step towards becoming one of the best forwards in the 2030 class. She could easily be the best forward in the Shore before her playing days are over. She is blessed with great hands and a real nose for the ball as she is a excellent rebounder. She is physical and aggressive. Her confidence on offense has grown from year to year. She runs the floor like a dear. This is a future D1 lock. Playing at Trinity will allow her to ease into a prime time role as a freshman with no pressure. Madelyn is a player that could one day tip the balance in the Shore Conference.
RILEY ZAMMIT- 5’7″- C0MBO- RED BANK CATHOLIC
The younger sister of All Freshman Team member Casey Zammit is a hard nose talented guard. She plays with a swag and a air of confidence you rarely see in young players. She is highly or shall I say super competitive. She will take on any level of competition. Riley is a excellent shooter with a serious handle that allows her to break defenders down for slashing drives to the rim. She is a excellent defender who creates havoc with her quickness and speed. She is physically growing which is nightmare news for opponents. Pay real attention to her underrated passing skills. This is a player that could easily be in the RBC rotation next season. She is that good and has that big of a upside. She has a excellent feel for the game and can play either the point or the wing. She is versatile and hungry.
KYLIE ANZZOLIN- 5’7″- POINT GUARD- MANASQUAN
There is not doubt who is the best point guard in the 2030 class entering in the Shore Conference. Kylie Anzzolin is a name you will become very filimar with over the next 4 years. Her quickness and basketball IQ is not just next level but elite. Her passing ability is magical and she also has the ability to score. She already plays with real purpose and has a demeanour that eats up pressure with no stress. Her balling skills can be dynamic or no frills depending on what you are searching for during the heat of a game. This is a future D1 lock and more importantly a point guard that can win Chips. Playing against older competition while her body hits it’s growth spell only makes it more likely she will be a megastar for Manasquan in the near future.
CAMRYN BEGLEY- 5’10- SWING- TRINITY HALL
The upside here is too big for words. She is long, athletic and filled with talent. Rumour is her jump shot has made major strides. This is a scary thought when you think about her natural talent and size for a young guard. She runs the floor and can fill lanes or play the role of play-maker. She has a improving competitive nature and will step into the Trinity Hall’s starting lineup from day. This should help her develop into one of the top players in the Shore Conference one day. Camry Begley is highly coachable and a program kid as well. She is a excellent ball handler and reliable decision maker under pressure. She has all the tools to be a all time great at Trinity Hall.
CECILIA VALENTE -5’5″- COMBO- ST. JOHN VIANNEY
She is a elite defender right now. She also has a competitive nature that is beyond her years. She is an aggressive ball handler and rim attacker. But she is also a true playmaker with the ability to score. Blessed with strength, quickness and speed. She is going to be a problem for years to come. Her ability to knock down open jumpers is another reason she is so hard to defend. Put her in the open floor and she is a serious problem because of the elite ball handling skills. SJV is getting a impact freshman and a player that will fit their system to a “T”. She has proven she can play against top level competition.
EMMA ELMER- 5’11”- FORWARD- RED BANK CATHOLIC
This is not a surprise by any means. Emma’s rise has been a real example of what happens when a kid is focused. Not concerned with hype and status but just getting better and that is exactly what she has done. The improvement curve here is special. She has upgraded her conditioning, her foot speed, shooting, passing and IQ. In other words she is moving fast up the food chain of players. She is big and strong and not afraid to play inside of outside. Her confidence is soaring and so is just about every phase of her game. While many doubted her over the years. She stayed the course and now is reaping the benefits of her hard work as those who doubted her try to make sense of it all. She also did something few kids are willing to do these days. She choose RBC because of the competition and her long term development. Emma Elmer, is going to be a player that surprises everyone over the next 4 years.
MORGAN KOCIS- 5’9″- WING- UNDECIDED
If the last name sounds familiar, it’s because she is the younger sister of First Team All State, Guard Madison Kocis of SJV. You will be hard tested to find a player that has put in more work that Morgan the last 15 months. Her work has paid off because she has gone from a possible talent or a serious talent. She has size, length and like her sister a deadly jumper with range. She has turned herself into a excellent ball handler and is murder in passing lanes on defense. Now the crazy part of all this, is that I don’t believe Morgan has touched the tip of her potential. I say she has a chance to be one of the best in the 2030 class. She simply does the winning shit all the time both on and off the court. Her physical status in 4 years will be breathtaking.
PARIS IFILL- 5’8″ SWING- ST. JOHN VIANNEY
There may be no more interesting player on the Golden Dozen that Paris Ifill. She is sneaky quick for her size and has showed a display for being able to score. She has a more than solid handle and a real competitive nature. She is a true power guard who can play bully ball and get on the offensive glass. She has shown an ability to knock down open jumpers. She will use head and ball fakes to set up defenders for drives to the rim or mid range jumpers. Playing at SJV will give her a opportunity to take her game to a new level in the years to come
ADDISON BROWN- 5’8″- WING- UNDECIDED
She is silent but deadly. I have been watching her from a distance. She is long and athletic and should be able to guard 4 positions at the high school level. That’s because she has excellent feet which allows to become a excellent on ball defender. She is a deadly shooter to 20 feet. There is no reason to believe she will not become a 25 foot shooter, her form is excellent. Addison has a real competitive nature without bringing lots of attention to herself. This is a sneaky good player that makes our 2030 GOLDEN DOZEN.
ANG DIETRICH- 5’6″- COMBO- MIDDLETOWN NORTH
You be wise to play real close attention to this final choice on the 2030 Golden Dozen. That’s because this young lady does not take possenions off. She plays hard from the start till the final horn. She simply plays harder than most. She will challenge opponents and her competitive nature is off the charts. She is a 50/50 ball Queen. Once her shooting catches up with the rest of her game. She could be a two way force for years to come. Ang is a hard worker who has a real desire to be one of the best in the 2030 class
