Yep, South Jersey.
Peter Vermes is a little younger than I am but I used to play in his father's indoor facility.
As an admission's counselor for the University of Scranton, I had to recruit students from New Jersey high schools. I'll never for get the 15 minutes I got to spend with Tab Ramos, one on one, in the St. Benedict's guidance office. I couldn't pull him away from NC State.

(Closest I ever got to your area was Kris Peat - Vernon HS).
