Jackson Memorial vs Brick Memorial
Jackson won the first matchup of these teams and did so while largely saving Samir Padilla Samir Padilla 5'10" | PG Jackson Memorial | 2023 State NJ . Their backcourt trio of Padilla, Keith Adame Keith Adame 6'1" | CG Jackson Memorial | 2023 State NJ and Respect Tyleek Respect Tyleek 6'1" | CG Jackson Memorial | 2023 State NJ are one of the top trios at the Shore and it will be up to high scoring 6’4″ senior guard Josh Michigan Josh Michigan 6'4" | SG Compass Prep | 2024 State NJ to match their output shot for shot in order for Brick to have a punchers chance on the road against a top tier Shore Conference opponent. We will be in attendance for this contest!
Bayonne vs American History
Ben Gamble is starting to put his stamp on the Bees program and they’re turning the corner as a potential power player in Hudson County. Two of his top players this year are 6’0″ sophomore Patrick Sagna, a guard who’s turned it on of late and 6’3″ junior Mike Cunningham, a force on the boards who had a double-double(13&10) in the win over Hudson Catholic. AH enters at 11-5 and is looking for their first marquee win this year. They are led by senior Marcel Clark Marcel Clark 6'3" | SF American History | 2023 State NJ . Clark is within punching distance of 1,000 points. He averages 21&17 as one of the more interesting senior prospects that hasn’t gotten much love.
Scotch Plains vs New Providence
Another interesting matchup in North Jersey as the Raiders, led by senior guard Matt Nervi and multi sport athlete Khadar Jackson, a high scoring forward, take on an always pesky New Prov team. Art Cattano’s team started strong but hit a rough patch. A win over Scotch Plains would go a long way for confidence as the post season approaches. Junior forward Corey Rust and senior center Matt Smith have done the heavy lifting thusfar for New Prov.
