Some players put up numbers. Some build programs. Alex Mazzella has done both. Alex will finish his NJ Beasts career having played about 120 games and winning close to 110 of them. He joined us as an 8th grader on our first ever 15U team. In our very first game, we took an EYBL PSA Cardinals team to overtime. Two weeks later, Alex helped lead us to our first ever championship game in Pittsburgh, falling by just one point in overtime. He hasn't looked back since. • 5 Championship Weekends • 2024 No. 2 Overall Seed • 2025 No. 1 Overall Seed • 2026 No. 2 Overall Seed entering July The accomplishments speak for themselves. But that's not why Alex is special. The reason he's become the player he is... he always shows up. That's the standard he set for himself. Yes, talent matters. But consistency, dependability, and commitment are the separators. Show up. Every single day. Alex is a WINNER. And to any college coach who isn't recruiting Alex... you're making a mistake. A VERY BIG MISTAKE Thank you for helping build what NJ Beasts has become. We're not finished yet 😈

Huge congratulations to Chace Redler on his commitment to Lehigh. Simply put, one of the best players to ever come through our program. A true microwave scorer who can change a game in a matter of minutes. Shifty with the ball, explosive in the open court, tough as they come, and a playmaker who constantly puts pressure on the defense. His ability to score in bunches is special, but what separates him is his competitiveness and willingness to do whatever it takes to win. Even more impressive is the person he is off the court. An incredible teammate, a great leader, and someone who comes from an amazing family that has supported him every step of the way. Lehigh is getting a tremendous player and an even better young man. Proud of you, Chace. Go make your mark and continue building your legacy. Forever a Beast 🖤💙
