Glen Rock honors boys and girls basketball sectional champions
Summary
The board and administration recognized the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams for winning sectional titles and league championships; coaches, players and the community were acknowledged.
The Glen Rock Board of Education and district administrators recognized the high school boys’ and girls’ basketball teams for standout seasons during a public meeting.
Mr. Violante introduced the recognition, praising both programs for winning league and sectional championships and for their sportsmanship. "This fall season was one of our most successful athletic seasons that we've had in quite some time," Violante said, noting five league titles, two sectional titles and strong winter-season results.
He outlined the boys’ accomplishments (23–7 record, undefeated NJIC Colonial League champions, North 1 Group 2 sectional champions — the first sectional title since 1972) and singled out Mason Mangione as the school's all-time leading scorer with 1,411 points; Mangione plans to play at The College of New Jersey. The boys’ coach, Jason Middleman, was named NJIC Colonial League Coach of the Year.
The girls’ team finished 26–5, were NJIC Colonial League and conference champions, and won the North 1 Group 2 sectional championship (first sectional title since 2013). Sarah Wohman was named NJIC Colonial Coach of the Year and Bergen County Girls Basketball Coach of the Year. Multiple players from both rosters were named during the recognition.
Board members and the public offered congratulations; the district presented certificates and allowed the student-athletes a moment on stage. The acknowledgments were ceremonial and did not involve board action or budgetary changes.
