Travel Basketball Teams Take Home Titles in Mid- Monmouth playoffs

The Holmdel basketball travel teams concluded their Mid- Monmouth winter seasons in an impressive fashion over the weekend of March 11-12 by taking home two titles along with a runner-up finish and an overtime semifinal loss in the 5 divisions of Boys and Girls play.  The Mid-Monmouth Winter League consists of over 30 teams spread across Monmouth and Ocean counties.

The Boys 3^rd grade team and the Girls 5^th grade team took home top honors (see separate articles below)

The Boys 5^th grade  team, the two time defending Mid- Monmouth champions coached by Brendan Sharpe, fell in their quest for a three-peat as they lost a hard fought game in the finals. 

The Boys 4^th grade team coached by Jay Romano lost a heartbreaking Overtime game to the #1 seed Rumson in the semifinals.  They finished the season with a 27-3 record along with a West Long Branch tournament championship to their credit.

The Girls 4^th grade team led by Jeff Baker finished the season at 5-5 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Mid-Monmouth tourney.

 

 Holmdel Hornets Boys 3 Finish a Perfect Season

The Holmdel Hornets clinched the championship of the Boys 8 Mid-Monmouth Travel basketball league with a win over Tinton Falls 19-15.  Lead by Coach Scott Cannon, the Holmdel Hornets 3^rd Grade team finished with a perfect 20-0 season.    Holmdel faced very tough teams through this championship against Shrewsbury, Fair Haven, West Long Branch and Tinton Falls.  

While the Mid-Monmouth league season started on January 8, the 3^rd Grade Boys Holmdel team also swept the WLB Thanksgiving Tournament at Monmouth University and Holiday Hoopfest Tournament at Brookdale Community College late last year.  This represents the first competitive travel basketball season for these Holmdel boys. 

“My heart is full and so happy to share in these life memories these boys have created!” says Coach Cannon in reaction to the final win.

This season reinforces the commitment and dedication to competitive basketball in Holmdel, NJ.  Holmdel looks to keep this streak going for years to come.
