Few players thrived in the spotlight quite like Correa, who spent her high school career across two legendary programs and managed great success at both. All told, Correa was a three-time All-State guard at Rutgers Prep and Manchester Township. Correa played a big role as a starting sophomore at Rutgers Prep when the Argonauts spent much of the season ranked as the No. 1 team in New Jersey before bowing out in the Tournament of Champions semifinals to eventual champion Franklin.

Katelynn Flaherty, Metuchen/Point Pleasant Beach/Manasquan, 2014

Before she became the program's all-time leading scorer at Michigan, Flaherty was one of the most impactful — and interesting — players from this decade in New Jersey. Flaherty played for three schools and had immeasurable success at each. She helped Manasquan win a Tournament of Champions title in 2012, led Point Pleasant Beach alongside Marina Mabrey to a T of C appearance in 2013 and finished her career at Metuchen where she had significant family ties.

The Lodi Immaculate star finished her career with 2,188 points, 600-plus rebounds and 150 blocked shots. She had a great career for Louisville and helped keep that team in the championship hunt.

Tori Hyduke, Rumson-Fair Haven, 2018

As one of the best true scoring guards of the decade, Hyduke was a two-time First Team All-State selection and the most accomplished player to come out of Rumson-Fair Haven in some time. Hyduke averaged better than 26 points per game as a senior and, surrounded by a young supporting cast, helped Rumson contend with the giants of the Shore Conference before an ankle injury late in the year.

That came after her sensational sophomore year, where she nearly led Rumson to a Central Jersey, Group 2 title win in one of the greatest individual performances of the era. Hyduke went for 38 points in a buzzer-beating loss to eventual Tournament of Champions finalist Manasquan as she averaged 16.2 points per game that year.

After winning a Tournament of Champions title in 2012, Mabrey joined Katelynn Flaherty at Point Pleasant Beach and carried that team to a Group 1 title and an appearance in the TOC, an unprecedented accomplishment for that program.

Faith Masonius, Manasquan, 2019

Masonius was, perhaps, the most versatile and, at times, under appreciated player for Manasquan during this decade because she was that good. Masonius was a three-time All-State selection — making First Team twice — and joined the ultra-exclusive 2,000-point, 1,000-rebound club throughout her stellar four-year career.

Masonius could do everything: she could handle the ball like a point guard, shoot from the perimeter like a two-guard, space the floor like a small forward and dominate the paint like a true power forward. Her athleticism was through the roof and her ability to play her best in the big moment was second to virtually none.

Masonius played in four Tournament of Champions title games during her career at Manasquan and won two of them. Masonius averaged a double-double in her final two high school seasons.

Diamond Miller, Franklin, 2019

The 6-foot-3 forward has also spent time as a member of the Atlanta Dream and Washington Mystics.

Shakena Richardson, Neptune, 2011

Richardson still stands as one of the greatest players to come out of the Shore Conference as a two-time First Team All-State selection.
