NORTH 2

Contenders
West Essex: The Knights impressed last fall with 20 wins. The program continues to get better each year, and in 2024, could really contend in Essex County and in N2G2. West Essex fell to Montville in the sectional title match, leaving them hungry to get back on the hardwood. Led by All-Group returner Natalia Baca (174 kills, 87 digs, 39 aces, 30 blocks) and Avalon Warmington (101 kills, 61 blocks), the Knights have a strong attack. Keep an eye out for Katie Cho (47 kills, 35 blocks) and Olivia Balnco (194 assists), too.
