Whata shame. Kid who throws the unprovoked punch ruined his whole teams season and really hurt nj basketball as a whole. What a moron
I can't tell who was at fault. Looked like kids in lower right hand of screen were both throwing punches.
saw this earlier. Can’t say im shocked. There have been a bunch of these this year and a bunch of teams banned from states. Camden isn’t even a real team anyways. They shouldn’t even be playing in the state public tournament. Would be hilarious if this is what got them kicked out

Big guy throws first punch, little kid punches back
Why is Camden not a real team? Looking incident over again, dreadlocks kid on Camden threw first punch.
camden is not a real public team and haven’t been for years. They recruit kids from all over yet play in the public state tourney and leagues. It’s honestly a joke and the njsiaa has kicked the can down the road for years. They know it as does everyone else in high school basketball circles
Yea but isn't that very common? Christian Brothers does same thing in track and XC. I get that they are private, but they'd compete against all the publics.
Not surprised. Kid on Camden definitely seemed to instigate it with his cheap shot elbow.
Wagner is lucky he was held back - he was went running with his fists clenched ready to throw.

but they are in the private brackets at least for states. Camden cheats and has been for years. Other publics do this as well but not to the extent they do
Don’t think it’s meh.
If the coaches/adults didn’t step in quickly like they did it would have been real ugly.
I feel bad for the kids who actually live in Camden who are gonna suffer.
Now this - yikes bad day for NJ highschool

Guy in dreads on Camden who was first involved is a 27 year old man, if you have been to one of their games and seen him you cannot disagree
i’m telling you the fan behavior ( also players) this year has been horrible in basketball. Fans fighting in the stands, fans running on the court trying to fight players, guns in the stands, players punching other players out, fans verbally and physically attacking refs. Horrible story.

Agreed but njsiaa rules are rules. Theyre banned. The “brawls” of 2023 are the common fouls of 1990
their whole team is ringers. Meanwhile they are playing against other group twos with kids from their actual town.
You keep repeating this lie. That dude clearly punches him in the face. That wasn't a "common foul" in the 90s. Stop

Correct. He punched him. Not a common foul. However, there is zero and i mean zero argument the sport has gotten softer. You used to be able to basically spear players on layups and it was a common foul
The arena that some fans here want Rutgers to play in during JMA renovation?
Looks familiar.. I was at the Camden v Deptford playoff game, when McArthur Mason (from Camden) broke Rickie Crews nose. Camden was suppose to go far that year, But Crews ended their season. He had like 30 pts, 20 rbs, 10 blocks. Mason got mad bc Camden lost, and swung on Crews during the post game handshake. Camden use to get into issues when Dejaun Wagner Sr was playing too. They played a school in Newark i think, went up there acting tough, and almost got thier bus shot up lol
Cornelius def looks like he’s in his mid-20s. I wonder in Albany yanks his schollie
CT "public" HS basketball is pathetic like that. Catholic schools recruit kids, break practice rules etc and win half or more of the state championships every year.
CIAC is the CT organization and they should have a separate division for Catholic schools but those schools have influence so it will never happen.

GET OFF MY LAWN!!!
Cleaning up fighting after the malace at the palace was one of the smartest things the NBA did - thankfully that trickled down to NCAA and mostly to HS hoops. The game is better for it and so are the players.
If you want to watch more 90's like hoops, I recommend finding a crappy AAU tournament this spring/summer.. Look for the ones with the lowest entry fee for teams, they have refs do 8 games in a row.
sounds like the NJSIAA. They are a joke. Now they've shortened all the sports seasons except football because they can make the most money off of that. Meanwhile basketball season is now shortened by two weeks so that there can be no overlap between sports seasons for the safety of the kids. Meanwhile that only effects a few teams that go very far and now teams are squeezing in 3 or 4 games a week every week. How is that fair for the safety of the kids. They consulted no coaches on this because any coach I've spoken to or heard hates it. They truly are a dysfunctional corrupt organization. This new lady that is running it is truly awful.

AAU ball? LOL. Those kids play with zero heart, zero intensity and basically just play friendly pick up.
But yes, from a pure entertainment standpoint basketball was more entertaining in the 90’s just as hockey was a better product when there was more fighting
this is a great post and spot on. coaches want to get those 25 + games in for the seniors, kids close to 1k etc. now with state tournament on Monday, you have teams cramming in 3 games this week.
Yikes and I thought CT Public High School basketball was bad - NJ sounds even worse and there's a LOT more players there
CBA doesn't do that, get your facts straight. Academics come first at CBA. They became great in XC because they have a required freshman run. Historically the top 25 runners were put on the team. That built the tradition, that turned into a juggernaut.
There was a hs player from Boston who sucker punched a ref during a game recently when he thought the ref called a foul on him. The was no foul call but the game was cancelled at that point.
Violence at school basket ball games is on the rise. In Northern Vermont a 60 yo spectator ended up dying after joining in an on court fight at a grammar school.
