It’s a big weekend for basketball and wrestling around the shore:
The District Wrestling Championships begin tonight with most of the Ocean County schools gathering at Toms River East, the site of District 24.
Southern Regional is aiming for it’s 8th consecutive team title and among the top individuals on display will be the Rams Glenn Carson and defending state champions Vinnie DelleFave of Toms River East and Jimmy Lawson of Manchester.
Long Branch and Brick Memorial both won NJSIAA Group Championships last weekend and now they will compete for the District 23 team title at the home of the Green Wave. The Mustangs are the three-time defending District champions but rate the role of the underdog this time around.
Jackson Memorial looks to continue its dominance in District 21 at Manalapan High School. The Jaguars have won the team championship 11 straight years. This is the first step on the road to Atlantic City for the best wrestlers in New Jersey.
The Shore Conference Basketball Tournament will be down to just four teams after this weekend. The Boys Round of 16 is tonight and among the pairings, Brick Memorial will host Keyport, Point Boro is at Asbury Park, Toms River East visits Neptune and Lakewood travels to Monmouth Regional. Top-seeded CBA hosts Colts Neck. Tonight’s winners move into the quarterfinals on Sunday at Brookdale Community College.
The Girls have reached the quarterfinal round where Manchester will now face top-seeded St. John Vianney tomorrow at Brookdale. Other matchups have Southern facing Rumson, Colts Neck meeting St. Rose and Middletown South playing Neptune.
The semifinals and finals for both the Boys & Girls will be next week at the Ritacco Center and all those games will be broadcast on the Shore Sports Network, including 1160 WOBM AM.
