High school basketball has some rivalries that have gone back as far as one can remember. Hearing some of the fans mentioning the old times only made this meeting show the anticipation of a good basketball game. Well, this meeting was determined by halves, as Rancocas Valley used the free throw line to pull away from Shawnee. The Red Devils scored thirty points in the final quarter to capture the home victory 72-60.
