Senior Ajay Mathews scored 16 straight Marlboro points in the final 3:30 regulation plus overtime before senior Rob Glorioso hit the game-winning three-pointer with 30 seconds left, capping a Mustangs (18-4) win over the Rebels (18-5) in an overtime classic.
Matthews led Marlboro with 22 points, which included a game-tying three-pointer with eight seconds left in the fourth that sent the game into overtime. Mathews made six field goals in the final 7:30 of the game and all six tied the game, which included one three-point play that tied the game on the made free throw.
Junior Jayson Parker led Howell with a game-high 27 points, but it was senior Cayden Parker and junior Noah Musto who carried the Rebels within the brink of their first ever trip to the semifinals with their fourth-quarter scoring. Cayden Parker scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth quarter while Musto also scored nine in the fourth, including 7-for-7 from the free-throw line.
Musto converted a three-point play to give Howell a 52-49 lead with 2:58 left, then hit six more free throws in a row. The first four of those free throws gave Howell a two-point lead and the final two made it 58-55 with 26.9 seconds left before Mathews came down and buried the game-winning three from college distance at the top of the key.

Jayson Parker opened overtime with a floater in the lane, followed by a game-tying fadeaway by Mathews. Cayden Parker propelled Howell back into the lead with a three-pointer, but Mathews countered with a contested three-pointer from the left wing.
Marlboro made the stop on the other end and on the deciding possession, junior Nolan Gong missed an initial shot, but junior Dylan McEwan kept the play alive and senior Drew Lubeck kicked the ball to the corner for Glorioso, who drilled the go-ahead shot. Cayden Parker got off a three-pointer from the corner in the waning seconds that missed the mark.
Rob Glorioso barely hit the rim on his only other three-point attempt of the game but this one is on the money with 30 seconds left. Marlboro gets the stop and beats Howell 68-65 in overtime to reach the SCT semis for the 1st time in 4 years. pic.twitter.com/wMBVtKxtb1
