Falcons Boys Basketball Begins Quest Towards State Championship

Monmouth insider AJ Visconti singles out the varsity team's win against Toms River North on Saturday as the game of the week.

This week's Athletes of the Week go to the boys' varsity basketball team at Monmouth Regional. In their win on Saturday against Toms River North, no one stood out, but the Falcons played well together.

With major injuries to seniors Mark Aguilar and Barry Phoenix, the team lost a lot of leadership and talent at the guard positions. Even with this, seniors Loren Jackson, DJ Coles, Quaver Smith, and juniors Luke Cahill and Xavier Fowler look to bring their team together and finish their season strong.

This team can be a dangerous team in the Group III state championship bracket, especially if the team recovers from some injuries. I look forward to watching this team as they compete at the end of the season for the state championship.
