Phillipsburg and Bayonne squared off in some playoff action on Thursday, but Phillipsburg had to settle for second. They were outmatched by the Bayonne Bees and fell 79-28. While losing is never fun, the Stateliners can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey basketball rankings (they are ranked 202nd, while the Bees are ranked tenth).
Phillipsburg has also traveled a rocky road recently having lost eight of their last nine games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 3-12 record this season. The win was the fourth in a row for Bayonne, bringing their record for this year to 11-3.
