Here is a slideshow of photos from the action between Carteret and Manalapan in the 5th Place Consolation Game of the 2016 Matawan Huskies Classic.
Carteret took on Manalapan in the 5th Place Game hoping to continue its winning ways. It would be no easy task though against a team that had defeated the Ramblers in the first round of this tourney in each of the past two years.
It looked early on as if the Braves would notch a win over the Ramblers for the third straight year. Manalapan opened the game by netting a three pointer, and followed that up with two layups and a floater for a 9-0 start. The Braves eventually went on to lead 24-17 at the half, and 31-20 midway through the third before Carteret rallied.
Over the last 12 minutes of the contest, the Ramblers outscored the Braves by a margin of 23-9 including the last seven points of the game to register a 43-39 come from behind victory to earn 5th Place in the Huskies Classic. Jemar Jordan, who was selected to the All Tournament Team, finished with 12 points including the last five of the game.
