Teaneck Stays #1 In Area With 53-45 Win Over #2 Eastside!

Teaneck,N.J…….. The #1 and #2 teams got together tonight and though it was a sloppily played game, Teaneck proved to still be the top dog in the area! On this night point guard Shakir Lindsey(right) was the best player on the floor! Lindsey was a problem for the Ghosts on the offensive and defensive end! He scored 23 points with 5 assists and 5 steals and harrassed Eastside’s guards the entire contest! His contribution was important because Eastside had the game being played at the pace that they wanted as Teaneck could never get out on the fast break and aside from a few gorgeous moves held their leading scorer Senior Chris Jones to 7 points! Eastside’s main problem was turnovers and number of missed layups as Teaneck Junior Neville Fincher blocked two shots, but more importantly altered many more! Eastside cut the lead to 8 in the 3rd but allowed the Highwayman to go on a  10-2 run to end the quarter and build their biggest lead of the game 43-27! Teaneck led in the 1st half 24-15 as Junior Joel Hernandez scored 10 of his 15 points and rocked the crowd with a thunderous dunk in the 3rd! Eastside was led by Senior DeAndre Noble-Haywood with 18 points and 10 rebounds while Junior Jetor Brown added 10! Teaneck improved it’s record to 19 -0 and Eastside fell to 15-2!
