Just as it did in its historic final home game of 2022, Rumson-Fair Haven Monday erased a two-run deficit in the seventh, this time to shock Red Bank Catholic in the 2023 opener.
Donovan Catholic enters the 2023 season as the favorite in Class B South and among the top teams in the conference, while the battle to challenge the Griffins for the top spot should be intense.
Jackson Memorial and Central are A South favorites again, but without the dominant flamethrowers in their rotation, the door is open for the rest of the division.
Red Bank Catholic and Rumson-Fair Haven will square off early in the Class A Central season, but the rest of the division will have a major impact on the division race and beyond.
