As the sectional tournament heats up, No. 3-ranked Christian Brothers Academy (CBA) is set to face the winner of Saint Joseph’s (Montvale) vs. Seton Hall Prep in what promises to be a highly competitive showdown. While St. Joe’s enters as the favorite in their opening-round matchup, Seton Hall Prep has the potential to make things interesting, adding an element of unpredictability to the bracket.

Should St. Joe’s advance, it would set up a rematch of their earlier-season battle with CBA at the Catholic Duals—a match CBA won. However, both teams were missing key pieces in that contest, making this upcoming bout a much different challenge. St. Joe’s will have their full lineup this time around, giving them a stronger foundation than they had in their previous meeting. But CBA wasn’t at full strength either, meaning this rematch could come down to the wire.

With both teams now operating at full capacity, expect a hard-fought dual with tight individual matchups that could swing the result in either direction. Bonus points and late-match heroics may be the deciding factor as CBA looks to continue its strong postseason run, while St. Joe’s aims to even the score and punch their ticket to the next round.

One thing is certain—whoever steps onto the mat tonight will need to be at their best if they want to move on in the tournament.
