Glen Rock tied the score at 47 on a layup from Senior Anthony D’Onofrio on an assist from Williams! The biggest bucket of the game came after Englewood missed the front end of a one and one and Senior Jeff Ross calmly knocked down a top of the key”triple”to put Glen Rock up 52-49 which ended up being the game winner!  Glen Rock was led by Williams(pictured) with 22 points including 11 of 12 from the foul line!
