Despite recent success for both teams in Group II, Camden and Manasquan will meet Tuesday night at Central for the first time since 2015 and a trip to Rutgers is on the line.

With St. Rose taking on Montverde, Darius Adams returning to play in the same showcase as his former team, and tournament seeding in play, the 2024 Metro Classic is a big one for the Shore.

Manasquan relied on a pair of freshmen on the way to a state championship in 2017. Now, those two current seniors hope for a chance to lead the way to another title.

Manasquan has been working all year toward getting a shot at Camden and making the most of the opportunity. That moment arrives Thursday night in Toms River.

Manasquan withstood an early storm from Holmdel and rolled the rest of the way to beat the Hornets for a fourth time and win a second straight Central Group II title.

Behind a scorching start and a career night from sophomore Ben Roy, Manasquan dominated Toms River North and won its first Shore Conference Tournament title since 1957.

Either Manasquan or Toms River North will end a long championship drought Saturday. A look at the Shore Conference Tournament final.

Alex Galvan returned to the lineup and Manasquan rallied from a 10-point second-half deficit to upend Holmdel and reach the SCT Final for the second straight year.

Holmdel pushed Manasquan to the limit on Thursday, but the return of Alex Galvan proved the difference as No. 1 Manasquan survived the upset bid.

Manasquan validated its No. 1 ranking by cooling off No. 4 Toms River North, 78-63, in Monday's WOBM Christmas Classic Final.
