Season Ends for South Brunswick Basketball

South Brunswick, NJ - Both the girls' and the boys' basketball teams came to season-ending defeats Saturday.

No. 2 seed Colts Neck beat the No. 3 seed South Brunswick Vikings, 67-47, at the NJSIAA Central Group IV semifinal game. The game was played at Colts Neck High School.

“I just think they were a lot more physical than we were. It is just basketball, so I’m sure we got away with stuff and they got away with stuff,” South Brunswick coach Joseph Hoehman told the Asbury Park Press. “But there was a lot of pulling and grabbing going on, and we couldn’t get our guys off screens to get good looks. And then when we did get good looks, we just didn’t make shots today.”

And the South Brunswick Lady Vikings lost to Monroe Lady Flacons in their semi-final Saturday.

It was the second time this season South Brunswick lost to Monroe, and the team was ready for retaliation Saturday.

“We were excited to play them; we had an excellent practice (Friday),” coach Jeff Johnson told TAP Into. “The girls were excited to play them. I don’t think there was any ‘we can’t do this.’ They wanted to be here tonight, and in the end, we just didn’t take care of the ball.”

The girls team lost 60-39 against the Monroe Falcons.
