Boys' basketball had a successful preseason going 4-0 and then had a successful opening night with wins by both the JV and Varsity teams. JV beat St. Joe 65-23 and the Varsity also beat St. Joe 68-48. The Varsity team is back in action this Saturday, December 16 against St. Augustine in the OC Tip-off at 7pm at the Ocean City High School.

The girls' basketball team has positive momentum heading into the season after beating Williamstown (ranked in the top 20 of south jersey teams) in their last scrimmage. The girls have been working hard all off season in the buildup to the regular season and are excited to prove they are one of the best teams in the CAL and south jersey.

In their season opener last night (Thurs Dec 14), EHT girls basketball defeated Bridgeton 44-27. EHT was led by junior PG Lyla Brown who scored 12 points. Averie Harding and Alina Gonzalez chipped in 10 and 11 points respectively. EHT built an 8 point half time lead despite being in early foul trouble thanks to great play from each of the 9 girls that played in the first half. In the fourth quarter EHT was able to put the game away. The next game for the girls is Sunday at noon against Wildwood in the Tip Off Classic Tournament at Ocean City High School.

The Boys and Girls Winter Track teams are preparing for the 2023/24 season. We have our first competition on Monday in Toms River at the John Bennett Athletic Complex. There will be over 30 teams competing from South Jersey.
