New Jersey Big 10 (2/9/11)

1. St. Patrick's Boys Basketball

The Celtics turned away Linden for the second time this season, beating the Tigers on their home court by 13. Michael Gilchrist came up big in crunch time, finishing with 23 points and 14 rebounds. MSG Varsity's No. 1 team remains undefeated at 17-0.

2. St. Anthony Boys Basketball

The Friars delivered victory No. 1,000 to legendary coach Bob Hurley earlier this week, defeating St. Mary's by 30. Unbeaten St. Anthony appears destined to collide with arch-rival St. Pat's next month in the Non-Public North B Final.

5. Jackson Memorial Wrestling

The Jags bounced back mightily after their surprising defeat in the Shore Conference Finals by edging powerful High Point 31-28. Dallas Winston's pin at 189 lbs. propelled Jackson (15-3) to its biggest win of the season.

The Falcons have done it again! St. Joe's won its 33rd straight GMC title on Saturday, outdistancing second place South Brunswick by over 193 points. Alex Burzynski captured both the 200 Intermediate Medley and 100 Backstroke, helping his team continue a streak which began in 1979.
