Lakewood Piners Move on to State Championship after Defeating Spotswood

It’s been a historic couple of weeks for the Lakewood High School as the Lakewood Varsity Basketball Team continues to make waves in the High School Basketball scene. 

The team will be making its way on to the State Championship this week after defeating the Spotswood team 53-36 last night in the State Tournament semifinals. 

On Wednesday, the Team beat Point Pleasant Boro High School in the State Tournament Quarterfinals with a score of 69-36.

The State Tournament wins come after the Piners took the Shore Conference Tournament (SCT) – for the first time in 22 years. The last time Lakewood won the SCT was in 1991 vs. Lacey, when now Head Coach Randy Holmes played under the direction of former Head Coach John “Pott” Richardson.

The Championship game will be taking place Monday.  TLS.
