Bilodeau hit three three-pointers in the second half to help spark a Manasquan offense that had scored only eight points by the 1:30 mark of the second quarter.

Senior Dillon Younger added 16 points and classmate Liam Collura added 11 for Colts Neck, which will play at Red Bank Catholic Thursday with a chance to force a four-way tie for the division championship with a win over the Caseys. A win by RBC — which beat Colts Neck, 48-43, in the first meeting between the two teams in Colts Neck — would give the Caseys the outright division championship.

The four-way tie between RBC, Colts Neck, Marlboro and Ranney would come to pass with wins by Colts Neck, Marlboro vs. Middletown North and Ranney vs. Freehold Boro — all of which will be played on Thursday night.

Senior Mike Cush scored 15 points to lead Freehold Boro.

 

Class B South

Toms River South 67, Point Beach 65

Senior Jake Myers turned in a career-best performance with 28 points and 16 rebounds and the Indians (11-9, 2-6) knocked off the division-leading Garnet Gulls (16-5, 7-2) to momentarily deny Point Beach the outright division championship while also significantly increasing their own chances to qualify for the Shore Conference Tournament thanks to a significant power-point haul that comes with beating the 16-win Garnet Gulls.

Senior Shane Gambarony scored 15 points and classmate Kharii Pringle added 12 for Toms River South, which entered the week fractions of a point behind Pinelands for the final spot in the SCT and will bump up comfortably into the field with Tuesday’s win over Point Beach.

Junior George Breckenridge 17 points as all five Point Beach starters reached double-figure scoring. Senior Jacob Edgecomb netted 16 points, juniors Tyler Preston and Ryan Mahoney each threw in 11 and senior Elijah Ives chipped in 10 for Point Beach, which can still clinch the program’s first outright division championship since 2015 with a win over Toms River North at home on Thursday.

Brick Memorial 65, Toms River North 57

Point Boro 67, Toms River East 65 (2 OT)

Senior Jovin Steinmetz scored 20 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer from college distance with two seconds left in the second overtime, delivering the Panthers (12-7, 6-3) a thrilling win over the Raiders (8-9, 3-5) that keeps their hopes of a Class B South division co-championship alive.

Sophomore Tommy Intintola gave Toms River East a 65-64 lead with 1:04 left on a short-jumper that he hit as he was fouled. Intintola missed the free-throw, but the Raiders held Point Boro on the ensuing possession, only to give the ball back with 32 seconds left on a jump ball.

Point Boro used a timeout with nine seconds left and gave the ball to senior Dean Cardia, who ran and pick-and-pop with Steinmetz. Cardia flipped the pass to Steinmetz, who nailed the top-of-the-key three to catapult Point Boro into the lead with two seconds left. Sophomore Brady Gillen’s desperation heave from halfcourt came up short to seal the Panthers win.

Steinmetz also hit two game-tying free-throws with 49 seconds left in regulation to send the game into overtime and junior Hunter Hynes nailed a game-tying three-pointer to knot the game, 60-60, with 55 seconds left in the first overtime. Point Boro then forced a Toms River East turnover with 11 seconds left and missed a shot at the overtime buzzer to send the game to double overtime.

Junior Nick Carmino netted 14 points and dished out six assists while Cardia finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals for Point Boro, which is now one game behind Point Beach for first place in the Class B South standings. The Panthers can clinch a share of the division title with a Toms River North win over Point Beach on Thursday, followed by a win by Point Boro Friday at home vs. Toms River South — the team that knocked off Point Beach tonight to keep Point Boro’s hopes of a title alive.

Intintola and Gillen each scored 16 points to lead Toms River East, with Intintola also inhaling 16 rebounds and Gillen dealing five assists. Senior Shamus O’Grady added 12 points and seven rebounds while junior Chase Baillie also scored 12 points on four three-pointers for the Raiders.
