No matter how many finals they make, or championships they win, it never gets old for Rutgers Prep head coach Mary Klinger. The top-seeded Argonauts easily won their Non-Public South B semifinal game Thursday night in Somerset, defeating fifth-seed Stuart Day, 79-46. Another laugher from the start, Prep led 24-9 after one quarter and 42-16 at the half, with many outstanding performances throughout.

Two things can happen when the shots just aren't falling for a basketball team. A little break at halftime might be just what the doctor ordered. Then again, maybe it's just that kind of night. For the Rutgers Prep girls Monday night in Jackson, Option Two is what happened, The second-seeded Argonauts' season came to an end at Jackson Liberty High School, as they fell 46-33 to top-seed Gloucester Catholic.

Jackson Liberty High School was good to Rutgers Prep last year. So was Seneca the year before that, and Long Branch back in 2022. The Rutgers Prep girls' basketball team hasn't lost a sectional final since COVID at any of those three venues, and Mary Klinger's 2024-25 team doesn't plan to start now. Monday evening, they'll play in their fifth straight Non-Public South B title game - the first in that stretch was in 2020, when they fell to Trenton Catholic - as the second-seeded Argonauts take on top-seed Gloucester Catholic at 5 pm, in a game you can hear on Central Jersey Sports Radio.
