A player for Holy Cross, in Rumson, goes baseline, and below, Coach Kevin Lydon instructs his players from the Knollwood School, Fair Haven, in strategy during a Saturday morning game.
Lydon, who coaches both the girls’ and boy’s teams, led each to victory in the fourth annual Red Kettle Classic tournament held at the Salvation Army in Red Bank.
In Friday-night matchups between hometown rivals, the Red Bank Middle School girls beat the Red Bank Charter School girls, and the charter school boys defeated the middle school boys before a SRO crown of some 325.
The event, sponsored by United Teletech Financial, raised about $2,000 for the Salvation Army.
