No. 2-ranked St. Joseph of Metuchen take on No. 17 Seton Hall Prep in the Non-Public A semifinals. Teams chasing state championships got Friday off to prepare for twelve groups semifinal games played around the state Saturday. I got to cover this game at 11am between Seton Hall and the St. Joseph Falcons. Lucky me I didn’t have to travel far as this match was literally in my backyard.
