Adelina Berisha (Scotch Plains-Fanwood; USA NY)
Berisha is the cream of the crop when it comes to volleyball players in NJ as she’s not just the top OH but she’s the top player overall. For Scotch Plains-Fanwood, she collected 142 kills and 89 digs in just half a season of play. You heard me right, she only played half a season in 2019. Her height, as well as her live arm, makes her a threat to terminate with each set she gets.
Lauren Wilcock Lauren Wilcock 5'10" | OH Mendham | 2021 State NJ (Mendham; Stars & Stripes)
Wilcock comes in at number 2 on our list. She has been getting plenty of attention as she is one of the major stock risers for the 2021 class. She is a force to be reckoned with no matter where she is on the court. It’s the combo of her heart and versatility that makes her such a threat along with her lethal swing.
Mackenzie Wiggins Mackenzie Wiggins 5'11" | OH Sparta | 2021 State NJ (Sparta; Allegro)
Wiggins is next on the list and she rules the court at Sparta. Last season, she earned 403 kills, 20 blocks, 257 digs, 11 assists, and 66 aces. She’s a terrific embodiment of what a dependable outside hitter looks like, plus she’s a reliable leader on and off the court. Don’t forget, 2019 was her first season playing in New Jersey being a transfer from Texas.
Devon Adamy Devon Adamy 5'10" | OH North Hunterdon | 2021 State NJ (North Hunterdon; CJVA)
Adamy rounds out the group. Her versatility is what makes her a lethal weapon on the court. She’s capable of playing RS and DS on top of being an OH.
