Every year, the Verona High School basketball team participates in Kean University’s spring league. This year, for the first time ever, they won the championship.
After starting 0-2, they won seven of the next nine games, including wins over Newark Central in the semifinals and Union City in the finals.
Only players returning to play next year participate. The team is coached by a graduating senior each year since the head coaches are not allowed to coach. Mike Moran was this year’s winning coach.
