Most of the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association boys and girls state basketball tournaments tipped off on Tuesday, too late for this edition of The SandPaper.

But a few local teams have already played some postseason hoops.

The Southern Regional boys team was the 14-seed in the 29-team Shore Conference Tournament, eventually won by top-seeded Mater Dei.

The Rams’ opening round opponent was Red Bank Regional, seeded 19th. Southern prevailed, 60-58.

Peyton Wejnert led Southern, as usual, with 24 points. Mark Valeriani added 17.
