- After not seeing a victory in its two-year program history, Palisade Prep has strung three-straight victories together after tonight’s win over the French American School.
- Brewster continues to give Somers trouble this season, beating the Tuskers for a second-straight time. It was the Bears tough team that had originally handed the Tuskers’ its first loss of the season earlier this month.

River, Any updates on the big game of the day?
Goldie, And I thought I was only first mate. The captain of your ship is obviously hsbbfan. At least you, River, Colonial and even stephane make sense occasionally.
Manasaqan 16 stanners 12 after first quarter. I’m leaving no more updates.
Chong 1775 career points
Chong had 35,walker 20 and knowles 18.
Stanner,
even though “At least you, River, Colonial and Stephane make sense occasionally” could come off as insulting, I’ll take it as a compliment given that it’s coming from you.
Thanks. lol
Colonial, Meant to be nothing more than a compliment to the four of you. Just Want2havfun! Keep it coming.
Thank you stanner I’ll sleep much better tonite. Todays game was a slugfest and believe it or not it probably benifitted Ossining by playing schoolyard ball. If we had Westchester officials they would have needed oxygen after the first half from blowing themselves silly. Both teams would have run out of players and maybe Kelsey and Laura Brown would have had to come out of retirement to finish the game for the O. Roll Pride Roll!
Thanks River. Apparently Manasquan is way better than a fairly weak Holmdel team.
Stephane, Maybe I should remove you from my intelligent blogger list when your team wins by 16 and you still can’t help taking a swipe at all of the Section One officials. Can’t you just enjoy a great win without the hate?
stanner..really there is no hate intended. you know how i feel…for the most part they can’t keep up with the game. that’s all….all these people blogging about how coach ricci alledgedly intimidates the officials is nonsense. He’s protecting his players which is what any good coach will do. i have seen on countless occasions other coaches ON THE COURT screaming at officials and no one complains about that. That is supposed to be an automatic technical foul yet they get away with it all the time. all this hate on coach ricci is silly..like him or not his kids would lay down in front of a locomotive for him. all i ask is that the zebras work as hard as the kids do..on both teams. if its a foul call it…if there is a question don’t…defense is part of the game.
Stanner, you are an Ahole! Actually, an arrogant Ahole. You prove it every time you come on here. Of course Holmdel must be a “fairly weak team” because Ossining beat them. How ignorant and arrogant of you. The fact of the matter is Oss/Manasquan would have been the better matchup as the NJ State Commisioner told me after we watched the first qtr of the MANASQUAN game. He said he didnt realize how good Ossining was. But your ignorant butt attributes Ossining’s win to “a fairly weak Holmdel team”. Are you drinking again? Youre in your “Mr. Hyde” suit again.
Hsbbfan, Once again you prove how pathetic you are. Anyone else who follows this blog would understand that I was simply having some fun at your expense and, LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO, you bite the bait like an overweight grouper. (that’s a fish)
Stephane, I didn’t criticize coach Ricci in any way. For the 4hundreth time I think he is an excellent coach!
Stephane, that would be Dr. Jekyl. He’s a schizophrenic, mad scientist.
Someone needs to invent a sarcasm font.
It certainly clear ma y issues in the blogesphere.
what the world needs now is love sweet love…...........
Sorry Stanner, Molloy lost by 14. They were tied after 3 but fell apart in the 4th.Manasquan is 17-0 and ranked 2nd in NJ.
Im pretty sure Molloy was without its two best players. The PG was on the bench in sweats and the big girl was not there. They were giving up a lot of height and Manasquan has a Sr Guard going to Notre Dame so in reality Molloy did pretty well.
@ River, Thanks.
@GoldBall, You are right about the need for a sarcasm font. I thought my Holmdel/Manasquan comment was somewhat easy to see through but perhaps it wasn’t obvious to everyone.
The big girl from Molloy who I feel is one of their 2 best players was not there. Manasquan is over ranked if they had that much trouble with a Molloy team that was minus its’ two best girls
Go Falcons
