Patterson, NJ- The 6 ^th annual New Year's Resolution showcase hosted by New Jersey Sparks girls basketball organizations took place at Paterson Kennedy & Paterson Eastside high school. The event was showcased 35 high school teams from 7 states all in the city of Paterson. Listed below are some of the top prospects at the event:
 
 
Jahsyni Knight 5’07” PG Rutgers Prep 2018 
 
Good quickness and handle, tight handle and change of direction/speed to keep defenders off balance. Showed ability to turn the corner and get in the paint easily.  Aggressive in transition, always looking to make something happen. She had no problems handling the press. 
 
 
Sarah Mortensen 6’01 G/W Long Island Lutheran HS (NY) 2016 
 
Mortensen can be described as a natural shooter; her shooting skill is simply outstanding with range to the three-point line. In addition to her shooting and scoring ability, she is good at finding the right passing channels and extremely unselfish. Her length allowed her to be a very disruptive in the LUHi full court press. 
 
 
Jasmine Gee 6’01 Immaculate Conception HS (NJ) 2016 
 
Gee showed very nimble feet and surprising skill for a player her size. She displayed very good form and touch on her shot, she also did a good job scoring in the lane. A sure handed agile forward that will very productive in her collegiate career. (Committed to Dominican)
 
 
Jordan Wilmoth 6’02 F Immaculate Heart Academy 2016 
 
Long agile forward with a versatile skill set, worked her magic inside and out during her lone game at the event. Wilmoth used her length to her advantage in defending smaller players, showed some range that extended to three-point line. (Dayton Commit)
 
 
Desiree Allen 5’08 G Neptune HS (NJ) 2017
 
Allen plays bigger than her listed size and makes lots of winning plays. She played mostly facing the basket but will post up smaller players. Showed some range on her shot and has a nice pull up jumper, the lefty natural scorer shows potential to score twenty points . 
 
Tajae Stevenson 6’01 W/F JFK HS 2017
 
Big wing / forward with perimeter skills with some range on her shot. Handles the ball like a guard. Showed some willingness to play in the post with her back to the basket. Score at all three levels during multiple games at the New Years Resolution. 
 
 
Skydajah Patterson 5’09” F Bishop Loughlin HS 2016 
 
Underside forward; powerfully built plays bigger than her listed size. She finished in traffic and transition, guarded taller, bigger players. Rebounded well out of her area, showed the ability to knock down the mid range shot made winning plays.
 
 
 
Megan Swords 6’03 P Immaculate Heart Academy 2016
 
Has an astonishing combination of size, physical skills, length and speed ... She’s already well developed from the muscular standpoint, especially in the upper body, with long arms and strong hands ... His solid body structure allows him to effectively withstand contact.
 
 
Naomi Ekwedike 6’06” P Potter’s House Christian Academy 2016
 
Ekwedike is a strong powerful post who is a load to stop on the low block. Great at establishing position around the basket and finishes at a high percentage. Although she has a bigger frame she has deceptive mobility, really soft hands that catch naturally. At times her team featured her as the focal point of their offense. 
 
 
Rebecca Lawrance 6’03 Ridegefield HS 2016 
 
Great hands, comfortable playing away from the basket this season on both ends of the court. She used her length very well on the defensive end. Good at using a few quick dribbles to get around her man in the paint. (Committed to Delaware)
 
 
Felicia Aiyeotan 6’09”P Blair Academy 2016
 
Aiyeotan  stock over the course of the last year has undergone about 40 different iterations. The truth of the matter with Felicia’s is somewhere in-between; she continues to get stronger and stronger every time out. She primarily worked in the lane area at the NJSNYR and can potentially become a game changer one day. 
 
 
 
Milan Johnson 5’06” G Teaneck HS 2016 
 
The combo guard is a terrific scorer who knows exactly how to keep her defender off balance. She is a pretty good athlete with a medium built, good body control, and adequate speed. She did a nice job handling the ball and shooting from the perimeter.
