Jersey Sports Zone brings you three games from the Thursday night slate in New Jersey high school basketball. We’ve got milestones for the Shawnee boys and RBC girls plus Monroe’s boys win a tight game!

Monroe 57 Piscataway 55 | Boys

Monroe (8-2) defeated Piscataway (2-4) 57-55 to pick up a third straight win. After a tied first quarter, Monroe went ahead 28-23 at halftime. The Falcons would lead by as many as 11 in the fourth quarter before Piscataway rallied back late to cut it to a two point game in the final seconds. However, the Chiefs fell just short of a possible tie. Brothers Josh, Jon and Eli Okocha combined for 37 points. Eli had 10, Josh 12 and Jon finished with 15 points. Aaren Austin for Piscataway led all scorers with 21 points. JSZ’s Nery Rodriguez has the highlights:
