An Ocean County (New Jersey) Superior Court judge denied Manasquan High School’s court filing on Thursday to postpone the NJSIAA Group 2 basketball championship game after the state semifinal ended in controversial fashion.
Manasquan is fighting to have a seemingly wrong call at the end of their semis matchup against Camden overturned and, instead, have the Monmouth County high school declared the winners.
Judge Mark Troncone ruled that the Superior Court did not have the jurisdiction to prevent Saturday’s state title game — slated to take place at Jersey Mike’s Arena on Rutgers’ campus at noon — from occurring as scheduled until the New Jersey Department of Education makes its decision, the Asbury Park Press reported.
Referees later admitted they made the wrong call amid a final shot in Tuesday’s game between the Manasquan and Camden high school teams on Tuesday.
Claiming the basket by a Manasquan player was made too late, the referees handed the win to Camden. Later, after reviewing video footage, the referees acknowledged they made a mistake.
However, officials have refused to overturn the results, citing a rule that says once game officials leave the ‘visual confines of the playing court,’ the game is concluded, and the score is official.
