Jamir Harris, Patrick School Knock Off Hudson Catholic to Win New Jersey Non-Public B Title

Minnesota-bound guard Jamir Harris and The Patrick School won the New Jersey Non-Public B title game on Saturday night, taking another step toward their ultimate goal of a Tournament of Champions title.

Harris went for a game-high 23 points and senior point guard Jordan Walker added 15 points and 12 assists as the Celtics topped Hudson Catholic, 65-48, at the Ritacco Center in Toms River.

Uncommitted junior Jahvon Quinerly led Hudson Catholic with 21 points. The Hawks ended St. Anthony’s season in Wednesday’s North Non-Public B title game in what may have been the last game ever for Bob Hurley’s storied program.

The Celtics figure to be the No. 1 seed in the TOC, which begins next week, meaning they wouldn’t play until the semifinals on March 17. The school won five TOCs as St. Patrick’s — the last in 2009 — and is seeking its first as The Patrick School.

The Celtics have five signed players already in Harris, Nick Richards (Kentucky), Marcus McClary (Monmouth), Bul Ajang (Tulane), Buay Koka (Tulane) plus the uncommitted Walker.
