The JSZ team takes you around the state for another Thursday of hoops. We’ve got a great rivalry matchup between Ramapo and Northern Highlands plus a trip to Union County for Roselle Catholic and Westfield along with the second round of the CVC boys basketball tournament. Check out all the action!

Northern Highlands 63 Ramapo 53 | Boys

Lucas Dipasupil poured in a game-high 26 points to power the Highlanders to an extremely rare season sweep over their biggest rivals. Northern Highlands (14-5) opened the game with lights-out shooting – leading 19-10 after the first – and never looked back from there as they led wire-to-wire. Ramapo (12-7) had three players in double-digits – Charlie Wingfield finished with 13 points and eight rebounds in the loss. Both squads are back in action Saturday as they’re two of the eight teams in the quarterfinal round of the Bergen County Jamboree.
