The National Federation of High Schools has unveiled a three-part plan to phase in high-school sports.

The Metro Classic basketball showcase comes to Toms River this weekend and for those old enough to remember two of the more memorable high school players of the last two decades, it feels awfully familiar.

Alex Ratner and Marlboro are off to a scorching start to 2019-20 thanks to the senior captain and a promising young supporting cast.

M.J. Wright stole an inbounds pass and hit the game-winning floater in the last 1.1 seconds to give Red Bank Catholic a thrilling win over Marlboro in the WOBM Christmas Classic final.

Alex Ratner scored 25 points and Marlboro's relentless pressure was too much for top-seeded Manasquan in the WOBM semifinals.

Shore Conference boys basketball results from Thursday, Dec. 26.

Rumson's longtime team manager Jack Velcamp finally got a chance to suit up Thursday on Senior Night and neither Velcamp nor the setting would disappoint.

Rumson's girls and boys soccer teams returned to the field just two days after tragedy struck and the result was a roller-coaster of emotions with an uplifting finish.
