Continue ReadingThe Shore Conference is extremely deep with 31 teams and plenty of talent coming back. I’m going to back and forth presenting the top players at different positions. Here are the top outside hitters returning.
Veronica Tikhomirova (Barnegat)
Tikhomirova is the center piece for Barnegat as she had an outstanding junior season with 206 kills and 186 digs. Her versatility and creativity by hitting with angles has her ranked on PrepDig at 37th for 2021. Look for her to start climbing the board.
Julia DiFazio
DiFazio led St. John Vianney to its most successful season since 2016 and was All-Shore first team. The junior was a force on the outside, registering 109 digs, 91 kills and 22 aces. Watch out for her this season.
Charlotte Cade (Red Bank Catholic)
Cade was the primary option last season for Red Bank with 151 kills and 120 digs. She will be the focal point in the offense again this season especially as Red Bank will be implementing a new opposite.
Olivia Anderson (Pinelands)
Anderson is coming off a decent junior season with 103 kills and 54 digs. She was a rotational player last year sitting behind several seniors. She is going to be putting up great numbers in her senior campaign.
Juniors
Kate Stoughton Kate Stoughton 5'7" | S Brick Memorial | 2022 State NJ (Brick Memorial)
Stoughton is one of the rising stars in this conference. She emerged onto the scene last season with 336 kills, 245 digs and even 93 aces. Brick Memorial is going to be right there for the conference title with her running the show. She is presently 25th in the PrepDig rankings for 2022. She will be climbing the board rapidly.
Rebecca Keith (Toms River East)
Keith was the number 1 option with her sophomore compatriot Shannon Donaway. She had 134 kills, 168 digs and 29 aces. She’s going to start raising some eyebrows this year with her athleticism and creativity.
These ladies are lethal on the court by having all the shots and angles which make them extremely dangerous. Expect these ladies to be battling it out to be first team All-Shore.
