The race for the girls’ Shore Conference South B division title seems to be headed for a final-week decision early next month, and Barnegat is on line for that potential showdown with Lacey.

Last week, the Bengals kept pace with the Lions – only one loss separated the two squads heading into this week’s action – by winning a 3-0 decision against Pinelands Regional on Jan. 13. Barnegat scored victories of 788-680, 765-566 and 781-693 to improve to 28-2 on the season.
