Mustangs Look to Make Run at State Hoops Title

After a long lay-off following their first-round exit from the Shore Conference Tournament, Brick Memorial is ready to hit the hardwood once again.

Following a 52-48 loss at Howell Feb. 15, the Mustangs are now the 13 seed in the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV playoffs, and will hit the road to take on West Windsor-Plainsboro South, seeded fourth, on Monday  at 6 p.m.

With a win, the Mustangs may be looking at a re-match with Howell. The Rebels have beaten Brick Memorial twice this season in what is becoming a very physical rivalry. After their loss to Howell nearly two weeks ago, head coach Ed Sarluca seemed disappointed but was encouraged by the late rally the Mustangs made.

"We're going to have to go get it in the state playoffs," he said at the time.

With a win Monday, Brick Memorial will play the winner of (12) Howell vs (5) Jackson Memorial.
