With New Jersey no longer holding the Tournament of Champions – which the NJSIAA did away with for the 2022-23 season – we still miss it. And you probably do, too.
Well, we’re bringing it back. Again.
For the second year in a row, we’re holding our own Tournament of Champions. We’re letting you, the fans, vote in our Tournament of Champions poll.
That’s right, you get to pick your favorite from the 13 championship games we broadcast live this season! (These are only games we broadcast and that were won by a team from the CJSR coverage area.) We’ll announce the winners on Wednesday, December 30th, then air the top five in order, back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back on New Year’s Even.
You can vote now through Tuesday, December 30th at noon!
Vote as often as you like – now through noon on Tuesday, December 30th! Just click on the game or games you want to hear below!
