St. Mary fought hard and went into the 2nd half leading 31-29! With Senior Joel Hernandez playing in his first game after coming off an ankle injury Teaneck was out of sync and needed someone to step up until they could get into an offensive rhythm! That someone was Junior guard Lavrone Green-Reels! Green-Reels(right) came off the bench to score 23 points, including 5″triples”! His play kept Teaneck close until they got it together in the 2nd half as the Highwaymen went on a 20-1 run in the 3rd to take complete control of the game! Hernandez took over as he finished with 20 points and 7 rebounds! Senior Shakir Lindsey had 5 steals and 10 points as Teaneck held St. Mary scoreless for 6:00 minutes of the 3rd quarter! Senior point guard Shawn Johnson finished with 15 points to lead St.Mary! Senior Connor Cuccinelli finished with 13 points and 7 rebounds and Junior Keith Bacote scored 11 points for St. Mary!
