Here's a few more interesting games over the first week of the season.

No. 2 CBA held off No. 9 Rumson-Fair Haven, 47-45, on Monday at Rumson in a North crossover game, part of the new Shore Conference scheduling model that can provide more interesting games like this one with divisional crossover games.

No. 5 Manasquan, the reigning Group 3 champions, hosts College Achieve Asbury Park at 5:15 p.m. next Friday. College Achieve is a charter school now coached by former Roselle Catholic coach Dave Boff, who won four NJSIAA Tournament of Champions titles. His roster is already well stocked as the program ramps up quickly, while Manasquan will move forward without their top two players from that team, with Darius Adams transferring and Ryan Frauenheim out with a knee injury.

Here is the schedule for Shore Conference boys' basketball teams prior to the start of the holiday tournaments. And be sure to check back for the games and times when they are announced.
