No. 1 St. Rose 53, Patrick School 49

Freshman Jayden Hodge led a balanced scoring attack with 13 points and sophomore Evan Romano and junior Matt Hodge hit key free throws in the final minute to lead the Purple Roses to a win over the Celtics -- their 13th straight to open the season.

Romano hit a tiebreaking free throw with 50 seconds left and after an offensive rebound, Matt Hodge also hit 1-of-2 free throws to stretch the lead to 51-49. After St. Rose delivered a stop on defense, Matt Hodge hit two more free throws to close it out.

Sunday, Jan. 15

Non-Conference

No. 2 Manasquan 38, Saddle River Day 35

Sophomore Darius Adams scored 13 points and nine rebounds and classmate Griffin Linstra added 10 and six to help the Warriors grind out a Sunday home win over the Colonial Rebels, giving coach Andrew Bilodeau his 400th career win.

Linstra broke a 31-31 tie with a corner three-pointer with 1:45 left and blocked the potential game-tying three-point attempt as time expired. Senior Jack Dettlinger (1-for-2) and Adams (3-for-4) combined to close out the game on the line.

Manasquan trailed, 14-12, at halftime, with Adams sitting on only three points. Saddle River Day then led, 31-27, with under seven minutes to go before Manasquan scored x straight points to take the lead for good. Adams found senior Quinn Peters for a layup to cut the deficit to 31-29, then hit a pair of free throws to tie it at 31 with 4:50 left.

Bilodeau is in his 15th season as head coach at Manasquan -- his third stop as a head varsity basketball coach after stints at Manchester and Toms River North.
