The loss ended the high school careers of four Pope John seniors — Moustapha Diagne, Damien Rance, Jeromy Rodriguez and Matt Zignorski. They made an imprint on school history and Sussex County basketball history, too. Pope John is losing a lot, and so are the seniors by departing from Pope John. “I will miss everything,” Diagne said. “It’s not just about basketball out there, it’s about everything, a family, every day. To get together and see how we’re going to get better every single day. I’ll miss everything — seniors, juniors, I’ll miss everything. And I’m just sad it’s over.”
