Locals Impress In North-South Allstar Game!

                  Local players from Bergen and Passaic counties looked good in the annual North/South Allstar game in Toms River, N.J. sunday afternoon. Eastside’s Karon Abraham, who will be attending Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, Pa. led the way for the locals in a 129- 110 North loss to the South. Abraham finished with 16 points and tied with Passaic’s Tyshawn Pickett as the North’s leading scorer in the game. Most impressive was the fact that Abraham also won the Dunk Contest at halftime. At 5’8″ tall he showed great vertical ability to go along with creativity. Kennedy’s Asmar Edwards also played well scoring 11 points and being the regular nuisance he is defensively. Pascack Hills Mike Friedberg only scored a bucket, but it was an emphatic slam as he showed he was capable of banging with the big boys of the South. Last, but not least Javae King- Gilchrist did not score a point, but he proved to be a great playmaker throughout the game as he created shots for many of his allstar teammates. 2,000 point scorer Justin Crosgile of Depaul H.S. who will be attending St. Joseph University in Pa. was selected to play, but chose not to.
