Toms River South's hot start and two WOBM Classic wins has added the Indians to the list of usual suspects who will be competing for tournament championships on Saturday.
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.
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.
