The winter sports season for shore high schools gets in full swing this weekend with basketball and wrestling teams taking to the court and mat.
Most of the basketball teams play their first games tonight while wrestling fans have the season-opening Neptune Classic as the traditional start to the season.
Of course the 25th annual WOBM Christmas Classic plays its first-round games this weekend at the Ritacco Center in Toms River.
