After back-to-back years off championship-game heartbreak, Marlboro's all-senior team came through Monday with the program's first ever NJSIAA Central Group IV title.
Two years after losing to South Brunswick in the Central Group IV final, Marlboro conquered the Vikings Friday to earn another shot at the program's first sectional title.
Following its worst offensive half of the season, Marlboro used its defense and rebounding to get going and race past CBA and into the SCT championship game.
The Marlboro boys and Red Bank Catholic girls boast accomplished basketball programs and Thursday night marked a first for both: a WOBM Christmas Classic title.
