After dropping three games to Wall last year - including a sectional championship game in overtime - Neptune finally paid its rival back with a hard-earned win on Wednesday.
Wall won't have a chance to capture a third straight NJSIAA sectional championship this year, but the Crimson Knights have the senior talent to make plenty of noise again in 2021.
For the second straight year, a historic season for Wall boys basketball ended at Brick Memorial in the Group III semifinal, this time to Timber Creek in overtime.
Wall erased a five-point deficit in the final 40 seconds of regulation and pulled out a 56-51 win over rival Neptune to win its second straight Central Group III championship.
For the first time in 46 years, Wall clinched a division title for the second straight season, beating Ocean Friday to win the outright B North championship.
No. 5 Wall overcame cold shooting and a rough first half to surge past Neptune Thursday and build on another strong start to the season in the Class B North division.
