Sunday NJSIAA State Tourney Notebook: Big challenges ahead for Piscataway boys, Metuchen girls, while Ridge nearly pulls second huge upset The tip-off of the NJSIAA state basketball tournament had to wait two days, but we've seen a lot of basketball since things actually got underway on Thursday, and it was everything it always was: blowouts, expected wins, upsets and thrilling action. With an off-day on Saturday before a full week ahead - starting with Group 1 and 3 sectional quarterfinal action Monday, and wrapping with public sectional title games Friday and Saturday - we thought we'd look back at a few storylines from the first three days of play.

Finally, some movement in Bellamy & Son Paving Girls’ Top Ten, as Franklin joins the mix, Bernards and East Brunswick rise It couldn't go on like this forever. For three weeks, the Bellamy & Son Paving Girls' Basketball Top Ten essentially remained the same, but that's not the case this week. A number of top ten teams played each other, necessitating a shuffle, with a win by Franklin propelling them into the Top Ten and forcing a reset of sorts. The Warriors had beaten Hillsborough earlier in the season, but at the time, were just 5-4, albeit with two of those losses coming to Rutgers Prep and Gill St.

Another solid week (25-2) for Bellamy & Son Paving Girls’ Top Ten again leaves no changes in Week 7 rankings Maybe we're just that good at picking them? For the second week in a row, there was no change in the Bellamy & Son Paving Girls' Basketball Top Ten, with the combined records of last week's ranked squads 25-2. The only losses were by No. 6 East Brunswick to No. 4 Hillsborough, and No. 10 Woodbridge to unranked Montgomery. That means eight of the Top Ten teams went unbeaten in the week gone by.

No. 7 Bernards girls take first loss of season, falling 67-52 to Roselle Park The task was a tall one. Bernards knew that coming in. The 7th-ranked Mountaineer girls basketball team was a perfect 10-for-10 in 2025-26 heading into Saturday afternoon's non-conference home game with Roselle Park and the state's top scorer, Sidney Smith. And it would be a good test against a solid squad not from their league, a chance to see how they stacked up.

Bernards girls’ hoops picking up right where it left off, now 8-0 after program best ’24-’25 When last we spoke about Bernards' girls basketball with head coach Brett Bisconti, the Mountaineers had just finished off Voorhees in the quarterfinal round of the North 2, Group 2 section in the NJSIAA state tournament, and their 23rd win of the season set a new program record for victories. While they would fall by six two days later at Caldwell in the semifinals, the 2025-26 campaign finds Bernards right where they left off, and with their best start to a season since at least 2006-07, 8-0 on the year.

Bellamy & Son Paving Girls’ Top Ten goes 29-3, leaving little change in Week 5 rankings What happens when the top ten barely loses a game? Not much apparently. There were only three losses in 32 games played this past week by the Bellamy & Son Paving girls' basketball top ten, meaning very little change in the rankings. It's now five straight weeks at No. 1 for Rutgers Prep (8-2), which had two wins in a light week, 66-22 over Hunterdon Central on Monday, and 57-24 at Mount St.

And we're nearly at the midpoint of the regular season, considering we're about a month in for most teams, and in the CJSR coverage area, the county seedings are a little less than a month away. Here's a look at games of note from Saturday afternoon/evening: Gill tops Prep; Will Knights be No.

Little change in Week 4 Bellamy & Son Paving Girls’ Top Ten, as first six all hold court Despite the top two teams in the Week 3 Bellamy & Son Paving Girls' Basketball Top Ten going 1-2 last week, Rutgers Prep and St. Thomas Aquinas held their ground in Week Four, with the top six remaining unchanged, but one new team joining the rankings. For a fourth straight week, it's Rutgers Prep (6-2) at No. 1. The Lady Argonauts lost to Red Bank Catholic Monday in the Kevin Williams Christmas Classic Showcase at Toms River North's RWJBarnabas Health Arena, 59-42, then bounced back Friday with a win over South Bronx Preparatory (NY) 62-41 in the Garden State New Year's Ball at Weequahic.

There are some notable alterations to the system this year.

Then again, maybe that should have been a sign: We eventually settled on three of them. For the 2025 CJSR Special Teams award, we hemmed and hawed, then just decided to heck with it.

Manville’s Josh D’Ambrosio still has sports to play, but four-year starter takes CJSR’s 2025 Longevity Award "You never had the makings of a varsity athlete." -Junior Soprano "Josh has been a varsity athlete since he stepped on the gridiron as a freshman." Dave Markowitch The Manville coach has it right. Josh D'Ambrosio got into the game as a ninth grader at outside linebacker, and has had an extraordinary career. This season - at free safety - he had 32 tackles, 13 solo, nine TFLs and two interceptions for a defense that allowed just nine touchdowns all season.
