Biasi finished with 12 points, five rebounds and three assists and senior James Hankowski pumped in a team-high 15 points to lead Red Bank Catholic, which trailed by as many as eight points in the first half after enduring a stretch of over seven minutes without a point. Red Bank turned a 7-3 deficit midway through the first quarter into a 15-7 lead with a 12-0 run, but the Caseys clawed back and took the lead, 23-21, on a pair of free throws by Biasi early in the third.

Red Bank junior Justin Valentino scored a game-high 16 points to go with six rebounds and three steals and hit a contested three-pointer in the final seconds of the third quarter to send the Bucs to the fourth with a 37-36 lead. He opened the fourth with a jumper and senior Josiah Johnson scored on a drive to the basket as he was fouled to stretch the Red Bank lead to 41-36 in the opening two minutes of the fourth.

RBC responded with a layup by Hankowsi off a steal by junior Ryder Ciorciari, followed by a Hankowski three to tie the game. Bennett Lopez hit a pair of free throws to put Red Bank back on top before Hankowski made it seven straight for RBC with a baseline floater to even the game, 43-43.

On the tie-breaking possession, Biasi missed a three-pointer from the wing and after an offensive rebound, junior Tyler Hager found Biasi again in nearly the same spot, where the junior fired up his second made three of the game. RBC held Red Bank to one free throw the rest of the way and went 4-for-6 at the line to close it out.

Lopez finished with 13 points, five rebounds and three steals for Red Bank. Ciorciari added nine points, four rebounds and three assists for RBC, while Hager — a transfer from St. Rose — led the defensive effort with six rebounds, three steals and three blocks to go with his three points.
