St. Rose buried Bishop Eustace for a second straight year and will now head to Rutgers for the Non-Public B championship game as the favorite to win its first state title since 1977.
St. Rose got within closing distance of its first NJSIAA sectional title since 2004 and turned to 6-foot-8 star Matt Hodge to finish off Bishop Eustace.
Christian Brothers Academy senior Alex Nini, Southern Regional senior Matt Henrich, and Saint John Vianney junior Anthony Knox each won their third region title as the Shore Conference had 10 champions and 31 state qualifiers out of the NJSIAA Region 7 Tournament.
