Cavanaugh’s Week 6 ranged from clutch to record-breaking as the Caseys went 3-1 against a quartet of quality teams. He hit one of RBC’s biggest shots of the season when he drained a go-ahead three-pointer with 43 seconds left to beat Manalapan, 63-61, which capped a 15-point performance. On Jan. 27, Cavanaugh erupted for a career-high 35 points, including a school-record 11 three-pointers, in an 82-71 win over Ranney.

Garguilo is the only player on this year’s Raritan team that logged meaningful minutes on last year’s 21-win team that finished No. 4 in the Shore Conference and in Week 6, he had his best individual moment as a Rocket. Facing Long Branch, Garguilo went off for 42 points – the most in a single game by a Shore Conference player this season – to land the Rockets a 76-57 win over the Green Wave. Garguilo shot 15-for-26 from the field, including 10 three-pointers, while also contributing five assists and six steals.
