Manasquan and Caldwell will play the final game of the 2022-23 boys basketball season in New Jersey, with both programs looking for their first state championship.
St. Rose has the makings of a team that can challenge for New Jersey's top ranking over the next 12 months, a challenge that the Purple Roses hope to start Friday night vs. Roselle Catholic.
Coming off an 87-point outburst, St. Rose is past its Shore Conference Tournament shortcoming and ready to seize its championship opportunity Wednesday night vs. Bishop Eustace.
