TRENTON, N.J. — The New Jersey high school basketball season will come to a close Monday night in a showdown between St. Joe’s Metuchen and Newark East Side for the Tournament of Champions crown.
The game tips at 8 p.m. at the Sun National Bank Center in Trenton, N.J.
Kentucky-bound 7-foot-1 Karl-Anthony Towns and St. Joe’s are seeking redemption after losing to Roselle Catholic in last year’s final. They are 29-2 with the two losses coming against top-tier competition from out-of-state. Seton Hall-bound Ismael Sanogo and Newark East Side have a record of 30-1 with this being one of the finest seasons ever put together by a New Jersey public high school.
Syracuse freshman point guard Tyler Ennis will huddle this week with his coaches and family before making a decision about his future, a source with direct knowledge of the situation told SNY.tv.
The 6-foot-2 Ennis will “look at all avenues and take everything into account to make sure he understands all options and the pros and cons to a decision like this and then he will decide,” the source said.

Marvin Clark is headed to Michigan State, he announced on Monday morning.
A 6-foot-7 post-graduate small forward from Sunrise Christian (KS) whose father died when he was very young and later lived in various homeless shelters, Clark also considered Indiana, Kansas State and Seton Hall.
“[Michigan State] was the most genuine place I had visited and I saw it at its worst [after they lost to Illinois],” Clark told SNY.tv. “It felt like a place I could call home for the next four years.
“Coach Tom Izzo told me I would be vital in the run for next year. He told me I’m an athletic scorer.”
