He also had a double, a walk and a hit-by-pitch in three at-bats. In a 4-2 win over Lakeland in the PCT semifinals, Coss belted a two-run homer.

 

 Softball – Casey Schieda, Jr., SS, Monroe

Schieda was named Most Valuable Player of the Greater Middlesex Conference Tournament after going 6-for-14 with two RBI and also playing strong defense at shortstop to help lead Monroe to the championship. In a 3-2 win over East Brunswick in the championship game, Schieda hit a game-winning RBI single with the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning.

 Boys lacrosse – Joe Francisco, Sr., Attack, A.L. Johnson

The Rutgers recruit scored a game-high six goals, including the game-winner with 29 seconds left, as 10th-seeded A.L.

Francisco also won 10 of 12 face-offs, including the one that led to his winning goal.

Graboyes took home the prestigious NJSIAA Tournament of Champions title against a field of the top golfers in the state by carding a two-under-par 70 at Hopewell Valley Golf Club to win the individual championship by two strokes. His title came one year after his older brother, Luke, won the T of C in 2013.
