Ben Roy Ben Roy 6'2" | PG Manasquan | 2022 State #218 Nation NJ (2022) | Manasquan
The Shore Conference Player of the Year takes the top spot on this list. The sophomore point guard took a massive step forward this season in every aspect of his game. Roy turned into a dynamic scorer that can put the ball in the basket from all three levels. Moving forward, he will continue to be the quarterback on offense for one of the top teams in the state.
Geoffrey Schoeder (2022) | Rumson-Fair Haven
Schoeder was one of the top scorers in the Shore this season and he did it in his second season. Schoeder burst onto the scene as an unstoppable force scoring 18.5 points per game and letting shots go from anywhere. He knocked down 51 three’s and was a threat from mid-range as well.
Ryan Mabrey Ryan Mabrey 6'3" | PG La Lumiere | 2022 IN (2022) | CBA
Mabrey dealt with an injury this season but there is no denying that he is one of CBA’s main weapons. The smooth ball handling guard can navigate well in the open floor and lead a break perfectly. Mabrey has unlimited range and is not afraid to pull the trigger. He can use his speed to get to the rim or pull up over a defender. It will be interesting to see what Mabrey will do in a full season as an upperclassman.
Chris Venturoso Chris Venturoso 6'3" | SG Lacey | 2023 State NJ (2023) | Point Pleasant Beach
Point Pleasant Beach lands a superstar on the basketball court every few years. Most recently, it was Matt Farrell of Notre Dame and now it is Venturoso. As a freshman, Venturoso proved he can do it all. He is a coach on the floor that can be trusted to make the right decisions. He is also a strong passer and capable of defending the opposing team’s main player. Venturoso will be a force at Beach for the next three years.
Amari Petty Amari Petty 5'9" | PG Manchester Township | 2022 State NJ (2022) | Donovan Catholic
Petty showed signs of turning into a leader during his sophomore season. Donovan Catholic is a very young team and Petty is their main option. He knocked down 31 three’s this season and scored over 11 points per game. Petty is not a finished product but he is a point guard that any team would want running their team.
Jaxon Baker (2021) | Barnegat
Barnegat flew under the radar in the Shore but they were a threat led by Baker. He led the team in scoring and was near the top in almost every other statistical category. Baker is a versatile guard that can dominate on both ends. As a senior, Baker will continue to lead Barnegat in the right direction.
Cyril Arvantis (2022) | Red Bank Catholic
Arvantis emerged this season for a Red Bank Catholic that had a few big names already on it. Arvantis turned into one of the biggest ones. He made 65 three’s this season and was one of the top deep threats in the conference. Arvantis has a lightning quick release that he can pull from anywhere. He will not be a secret anymore as a junior.
