A group of some of New Jersey's top girls basketball teams, including the two NJSIAA Tournament of Champions finalists from last season, will be part of next week's Maroon and White Team Camp that is open to the public at Red Bank Regional.

Reigning NJSIAA TOC champion Shabazz, a perennial state heavyweight, will be part of the 14-team field during the three-day camp along with Manasquan, which Shabazz defeated in the TOC championship game. Other perennial state powers in attendance will be St. John Vianney, Rumson-Fair Haven and Red Bank Catholic, along with fellow Shore Conference programs Holmdel, Red Bank, Colts Neck, Point Boro, Middletown North, Marlboro, Jackson Memorial and Freehold Township. Wildwood Catholic also will be making the drive up from South Jersey.

The camp, which is now in its sixth year, runs from Tuesday through Thursday, with games tipping off on three courts every hour from 3:30 p.m. through 8:30 p.m. every day. The camp is also certified by the NCAA, which means Division I coaches can attend to get a look at potential recruits.

The Division I coaches are allowed to be there on the first day of the camp, which will be highlighted by a rematch of the TOC final between Manasquan and Shabazz at 7:30 p.m. Coaches from Seton Hall, Rutgers, Monmouth University, Fordham, Wagner, Manhattan and other schools have attended in the past two years since the camp became NCAA certified in 2012. Coaches from Division II and Division III programs are permitted to attend every day, and last year about 50 coaches across the three Divisions were in the house.

At last year's camp, Manhattan College coaches were able to get their first look at Holmdel senior Morgan Graziano and ultimately offered her a scholarship. She is now verbally committed to the Jaspers.

"When we started the camp, we had all the usual suspects like St. John Vianney, RBC, Rumson, but we really caught steam when we got NCAA certification, and more teams started reaching out to me,'' said camp director James Young, who is the head girls basketball coach at Red Bank. "We're one of the only high school-run team camps in the country that have NCAA certification, which allows colleges to look at kids on their high school teams, which is something they don't see in the summer when it's mainly AAU."

Notre Dame recruit Marina Mabrey, the Shore Conference's top player, is not listed on the Manasquan roster for the camp, according to Young. However, the camp is a chance to get a look at Manasquan's other returning talent as well as incoming freshman Dara Mabrey, Marina's talented younger sister. Villanova recruit Grace Stant, a Rumson star and first-team All-Shore selection, is another top player who will be in attendance along with St. John Vianney junior guard Kelly Campbell, who was a second-team All-Shore pick by the coaches last winter.
