We have a 1 vs. 2 clash in girls hoops as St. John Vianney and RBC collide in our ACI Medical and Dental School Girls Game of the Week. Then in boys hoops, St. Peter’s Prep and Seton Hall Prep meet in a top-20 matchup, plus two of South Jersey’s best as Camden tangles with Lenape. Check back as the highlights are posted throughout the night!
St. John Vianney 61 Red Bank Catholic 52 | Girls
In a rematch between the two top-ranked girls basketball teams in New Jersey, St. John Vianney (13-2) stormed into Red Bank and took down No. 1-ranked RBC (13-2). Madison Kocis led the way for the Lady Lancers, pouring in a season-high 27 points. The Penn commit opened the game with an 8-0 solo run, scored 10 points in the first quarter, and tied her single-game high with five three-pointers. The Shore Conference rivals split the regular-season series, with as many as two more meetings possible between these powerhouses.
