Manasquan applauds Camden's state final win after legal fight

After losing their legal fight over a bad call, Manasquan basketball players applauded Camden high school's NJ state final winThe Camden High School boys’ basketball team captured their 13th state title on Saturday, beating Arts, of Newark, in the Group 2 final at Rutgers University Saturday afternoon,The Manasquan boys basketball team was in the stands when Camden won the Group 2 state championship.

A review of multiple videos of the final seconds clearly showed the shot was in the air and was going into the basket when the final buzzer sounded, meaning it should have counted. The controversy quickly became a topic of conversation on national news programs and sports radio and television shows. Manasquan school officials had asked acting education commissioner Kevin Dehmer to delay the state game while it appealed in court, arguing that it should be in the final. But Dehmer ruled Friday that Manasquan's claims were “not reviewable,” citing the guidelines of the NJSIAA.

Manasquan had earlier asked a state superior court judge to put the upcoming state title game on hold. The judge denied the motion Thursday, ruling the court does not have jurisdiction to stop the game until the state education department and a state appellate court weigh in on the matter.
