With three starters back and coming off a 29-4 season it is no surprise that Manasquan was the unanimous choice for the top seed among the 16 boys teams participating in the 36th annual WOBM Christmas Classic. The Warriors were picked first by the head coaches during the seeding meeting held at The Villa in Toms River and will face Brick Memorial when the tournament opens on Saturday, December 21 at the RWJBarnabas Health Arena at Toms River North.

Coach Andrew Bilodeau’s squad returns 6’7 Alex Galvan, a strong inside force along with guards Ben Roy and Kieran Flanagan and several others who saw considerable action last year and they should once again be one of the shore’s top teams.

Earning the #2 seed behind Manasquan is Toms River North, who brings back four starters from a team that won the Class A South championship and went 24-5. Among their top returning players are guard Jakari Spence and 6’7 Najae Hallenbeck. The Mariners begin their quest for the WOBM title on December 21 against Point Pleasant Boro.

Rounding out the top four seeds are Wall (plays Toms River South) and Middletown South (plays Lacey) while defending champion Red Bank Catholic grabs the #5 seed in what might be the strongest field in tournament history.
The Caseys face Jackson Memorial in the first round.
