<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Non-Public B is the last group to be talked about and will be fun to watch with many matchups that will be intriguing to watch. Here are the Non-Public B opening round matchups to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Pioneer Academy vs. Timothy Christian: [player_tooltip player_id='2340882' first='Raheem' last='Murray']-[player_tooltip player_id='2735091' first='Elijah' last='Pierre']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1456844' first='Jalen' last='Fleming'] </strong>and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2107788' first='Chukwudi' last='Mamah']</strong> have been playing well all season for the Tigers, but Pierre's matchup against Murray is the most intriguing. The freshman guard has a good handle, which he uses to get to his spot on the floor and has a nice touch in the mid-range. Murray has the ability to put up points in bunches and will look to put it on display during the opening round of the state tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Montclair Kimberley vs. Saddle River Day: Van Girton Marshal-[player_tooltip player_id='2549661' first='Preston' last='Neuenhaus']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Marshal will have his hands full with Neuenhaus, who does a little bit of everything for the Rebels on the interior. The Vassar commit has a good faceup game as he can put the ball on the floor and uses his size to see over his defender. Marshal works hard on the glass and will have to be at his best during the state tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Doane Academy vs. Ranney: Erik Perez-[player_tooltip player_id='1859568' first='Shaan' last='Nayar']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Perez and Nayar are both high scoring guards who have the potential to light up the scoreboard on opening night. They both have good releases on his jumper and can get hot from distance in a hurry. Perez and Nayar can also make plays on the defensive end, which will be key to their teams advancing in the state tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Moorestown Friends vs. Holy Spirit: [player_tooltip player_id='2857856' first='Zakariah' last='Bah']-Jordan Gonzalez</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bah and Gonzalez have both powered their teams' attacks this season, but they do their damage in different ways. Gonzalez has a high release on his jumper and shoots the ball with confidence rom behind the arc, while Bah is at his best attacking the basket and finishing around the rim.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Princeton Day vs. Wildwood Catholic: [player_tooltip player_id='2504905' first='Gary' last='Jennings']-[player_tooltip player_id='1919204' first='Alex' last='Daniel']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jennings and Daniel might not match up against each other often, but will be fun to watch when it happens during the game. Daniel uses handle to get to his spot on the floor and finishes strong around the rim. Jennings uses his quick first to blow by his defender and his ability to make plays with the ball in his hands will help Princeton Day in the opening round of the state tournament.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gloucester Catholic vs. St. Joseph (Hamm.): [player_tooltip player_id='2339165' first='Jack' last='Mustaro']-[player_tooltip player_id='1788762' first='Will' last='Spross']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mustaro and Spross are two of the highest scoring prospects in the section and should light up the scoreboard in the opening round. Spross is a crafty finisher around the rim and uses his good floor vision to find his open teammates in the halfcourt. Mustaro is capable of putting up points in bunches and will need to do that for Gloucester Catholic to pull off a first round upset.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Non-Public B is the last group to be talked about and will be fun to watch with many matchups that will be intriguing to watch. Here are the Non-Public B opening round matchups to watch.
