Ranney 79 Point Pleasant Beach 53
Scottie Lewis had 23 points and 12 rebounds and Alex Klatsky had a stellar night with 22 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds as the Panthers busted open a 7-point halftime lead to a convincing victory over the Garnet Gulls. JSZ has the highlights of Ranney’s opening night win:
Neptune 44 Marlboro 37
The Scarlet Fliers scored the game’s final seven points to score an opening night road win at Marlboro. Jared Kimbrough, a Division I signee with LaSalle, had a big third quarter to storm his team back from an eight point deficit. Kimbrough and Scott Fields had 11 points to lead the way with Dwaine Jones chipping in with 10. Marlboro was led by sophomore Alex Ratner who had 13 and Dylan Kaufman added 12. Kaufman hit a baseline jumper over two defenders to tie the game at 37, but Fields responded with the go-ahead basket. Kimbrough’s hoop and foul in the final 1:30 gave the Scarlet Fliers separation. JSZ has highlights from a great Shore Conference opener on Friday afternoon:

Mater Dei-88 Keansburg 36
It was the beginning of a new basketball season for Mater Dei Prep, but for Junior Alexander Rice it was his first with the team. He quickly got adjusted and thanks to his efforts on both offense and Defense the Seraphs got their first win of the season over Keansburg in exciting fashion. If they can keep up this play Mater Dei could be one of the teams to beat going down the line. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez was there for the action!
