Following a 17-win "rebuilding season" Ranney comes back in 2021 with a team that, while still young, is prepared to make another run at the Shore's top spot.
This season has presented its share of growing pains for rebuilding Ranney but the Panthers showed signs of their potential Monday in a win over rival Mater Dei.
Ranney's four-year run will come to an end Sunday against Bergen Catholic and the outcome of that game, one way or the other, will stamp the legacy of its memorable senior class.
Scottie Lewis fouled out after another stellar performance in a big game but Ranney found a way to claw past Wildwood Catholic for their second straight South Non-Public B title.
Bryan Antoine led five Ranney players in double-figures with 20 points and the defending champs coasted past No. 4 Freehold Township and into the SCT title game at Monmouth for the second straight year.
Bryan Antoine and Scottie Lewis handled the scoring and freshman Elijah Perkins delivered down the stretch to help Ranney overcome unbeaten Bergen Catholic.
Ranney's senior class, and specifically is five-star duo, have a chance to cement their legacy at the Shore and in the state with one last run at a Tournament of Champions crown.
