Stellar sophomore campaign earns East Brunswick’s Ava Catanho CJSR GMC Girls’ Basketball Player of the Year We get asked a lot about our process for naming a Player of the Year. It starts out that they have to be really good, of course, but there are a lot of very good ball players out there. So, our next criteria is the value to their team. A team is just that, never one player, but sometimes, there's one star who stands out, without whose contributions the success of that season might very well not have been possible.

Heady Montgomery point guard Ethan Lin repeats as CJSR Somerset County Boys’ Basketball Player of the Year Basketball is a team sport, but without Ethan Lin, it's highly likely Montgomery isn't Central Jersey Group 4 champions three years running. The smart, skilled, and unflappable point guard was the Central Jersey Sports Radio Somerset County Boys' Basketball Player of the Year in 2024-25, and now he's repeated the feat in 2025-26. Last season, he was coming off a horiffic broken leg injury that truncated his sophomore season.

Proving it was no hype, just reality, Brody Nugent of Old Bridge delivers for Knights, wins CJSR Offensive Player of the Year Award Before the season even started, before Marcus Borden's Camp Caravan, the ex-East Brunswick coach raved about Brody Nugent. He was a big fan, and predicted big things from the Old Bridge senior. He delivered on every one of them. Historic high school football stats are hard to come by in New Jersey. Around 2010 is the last year one can find somewhat reliable stats publicly available.

Phillipsburg’s disruptive Aedan Hywel is the Central Jersey Sports Radio Defensive Player of the Year for 2025 With a reputation for being one of the Big Central Conference's most physical football teams, having someone who's a ball-hawk all over the field is a nice touch. More than that, senior Aedan Hywel is not just a ball-hawk, he's a quarterback hawk. He is a major reason the Phillipsburg Stateliners shut out two teams, held two more to single digits, and - through the North 2 Group 4 championship game, were holding teams to an average of just 12.4 points per game, despite playing in perhaps the most challenging division in the league, top to bottom.

Perfection! Middlesex junior Dominic Long goes 12-0, with four state tourney wins, is named CJSR’s 2025 GMC Player of the Year Last year, it was Cory Rible, the Bridgewater-Raritan closer - whose team won all 17 games he appeared in - taking home Player of the Year honors from Central Jersey Sports Radio. This year - as we honor two winners - one in the Greater Middlesex Conference and one from Somerset County - it's Dominic Long of Middlesex, who also was perfect this year.
