It’s been nothing short of controlled chaos, all surrounding the unknown nature of the spread of the Covid-19 virus.
As the pandemic has been raging on, luckily, cases have been declining in recent weeks and months, but programs across the state have dealt with their own break-outs.
One of these programs is Shore Regional, who had a two-week hiatus from action between Feb 10-25, when the Blue Devils returned to action against Freehold Township.
Shore couldn’t return to practice until the 24th due to the temporary program shutdown and quarantine, but thankfully for the Blue Devils, they’ve played two games since returning to the court.
With just one game remaining, Shore looks to end the regular season on a winning note against Middletown North, a program that has struggled so far this season with a 4-7 record.
The Blue Devils, along with the team lockdown, have struggled this season as well, sitting at 2-6 overall, but with postseason play coming up in the Shore Conference Tournament, a win sets this team up perfectly for success.
Shore is set to play Jackson Liberty in Pod C quarterfinals, a program the Blue Devils haven’t seen since Feb 15, 2019, just over two years ago.
The Blue Devils defeated Jackson Liberty 49-34 on that day, meaning recent history fares well for the program.
Prep Girls Hoops will be tracking them and the rest of the Garden State through the regular season and into this season’s abbreviated postseason, but don’t count Shore out at all.
Coming back from a setback like that is enough to inspire and give hope and a few good all-around games will be just enough to turn Shore into that Cinderella story.
