Darius Adams

With a young team that had questions to answer at the outset of the season, Manasquan completed its third straight run to a sectional championship on Tuesday with a convincing performance.

Darius Adams had a career-best scoring effort at the best possible time and Manasquan upended No. 1 Red Bank Catholic to earn another trip to the Shore Conference Tournament final.

After its all-around performance in a 30-point win over division rival Point Boro, No. 5 Manasquan is starting to think big.

Manasquan led wire-to-wire Saturday in a win over a state-ranked St. Joseph Metuchen team, the latest indicator that, despite their youth, Manasquan is a championship contender in 2022.

Manasquan won its NJ Challenge game in North Jersey Sunday, continuing its progress as a young team and championship hopeful.

With a completely new starting lineup compared to 2021, Manasquan suffered its first loss in 33 games Sunday, losing its season-opener to state-ranked Rutgers Prep.
