I just got off the phone with Coach Bilodeau who is an incredible individual and model for these young men from Manasquan. The takeaway comes from his quote, “I feel bad for the young men from Camden because they have had an incredible season and I don’t want that to be tarnished in anyway.” Though disappointed in the outcome, there is a reality around the situation in which life lessons can be learned, and as a mentor, there’s no doubt Coach Bilodeau will seize this opportunity to continue making a strong impact on his community. Nothing further needs to be said. @scott_martinSSN @Matt_Manley @SquanAthletics @SquanBoysBBall @Return_Of_RB @ShoreSports_NJ @News12NJDesk @SportsCenter @NJSIAA
What I do not understand is why the Camden Coach doesn’t do the right thing. Do it for the greater good of the game. Do it for the kids on both teams. You clearly list, the league admitted they got the call wrong. Why don’t you admit the truth and allow the truth to set you free. Your team will have to live with this lie…
@ShoreSportsNet Seems a life lesson should be learned on the Camden side. Ie humility and sportsmanship. Their berth in the championship was not earned. It should be vacated and let Squan advance.
@ShoreSportsNet a lot further still needs to be said regardless
@ShoreSportsNet See if I'm the coach of Camden, I step back. That's a lesson too. The evidence is clear it's not like this is questionable. But the manasquan coach is right, you feel bad for all the kids both sides. They both played a hell of a game after a hell of a season and deserve better
@ShoreSportsNet This can all be undone .. Camden school officials should step up and call the NJSIAA. Even if they go on and win .. it’ll never feel earned after this. Tough times call for tough moves. Doing the right thing is hard but necessary
@ShoreSportsNet He cried like a baby after the game. Your take is waaaay off base.
@ShoreSportsNet What about the scoreboard operator at Central. Surely he would know with certainty that the ball was released and the horn goes off after. The 3 Refs don’t go to the table for confirmation?
@ShoreSportsNet Legal action and consequences for the refs likely who are corrupt. Nothing more needs to be said? What the heck planet are you living on. Taking the high road is one thing, but letting that road run over you and scar teens for life when it’s clearly fixable? Grow a spine.
@ShoreSportsNet Class act all the way & Camden surely is an incredibly talented & stacked squad! But an investigation needs to be thoroughly completed. At the end of the day, Squan was robbed of a huge win.
@ShoreSportsNet I wish they could have got both coaches together and say listen. Either one of you gonna lose or win we don’t have replay. Let’s settle this on the court five minutes more of overtime.
