Manasquan Withdraws From Basketball Tourney, Cites Coronavirus

MANASQUAN – The district has decided to withdraw the Manasquan boys basketball team from the NJSIAA tournament and, therefore, the group's semifinal game was cancelled.

This decision was made in consultation with the school physician and "we felt it was the most appropriate step to keep our students as safe as possible," the district said.

Spring athletic practices and games will continue as scheduled.

In support of the overall public health effort to limit any possible spread of infectious disease, the district is taking the precautionary step of postponing all extra-curricular public activities and events from now through the conclusion of spring recess on April 20.

This includes concerts, plays, Squan-A-Thon, March Melodies, fashion show, and any other indoor event that will be attended by an audience or large group.

Prior to returning from spring recess, the district will re-assess the situation and advise the school community of plans moving forward.
