" Brandon Cray, whose relentless, attacking, high-powered style made him a state championship contender, won the NJSIAA/Rothman Institute 113-pound title with defense Saturday at Boardwalk Hall. Cray, a Steinert junior, did not take a single shot after the first period, instead fended off equally explosive Gianni Ghione of Brick Memorial for a 3-0 victory that was impressive simply because of the manner in which he won it. 'I got my points and then it was come to me,' Cray said after becoming the first state champion for Steinert and only the third in Mercer County history."
