DePaul Fights Off West Milford 59-56!

Wayne………DePaul had to fight through the emotions that still lingered over their tough loss in the Passaic County Tournament to Kennedy! And behind a familiar face and an unfamiliar one DePaul shook it off to beat West Milford 59-56! Junior Davon Jacobs(right) once again showed his skill and toughness by scoring 21 points and grabbing 14 rebounds! But the play of Sophomore reserve Sanders Green(bottom right) was a pleasant and needed surprise! He came off the bench and scored 12 points including hitting big free throws down the stretch! He also played strong defense the entire contest! Their play and the play of Sophomore Josh Marquez( 14pts,7asts) was really needed because West Milford’s Connor Healy went off in the 2nd half! He started knocking down shots all over the place scoring 21 of his 25 points and bringing West Milford back from an 11 point deficit! It just wasn’t enough as Senior Tyler Coyle who usually helps Healy was in foul trouble and eventually fouled out early in the 4th quarter and their other teammates just could never find the range! The game probably wouldn’t have been that close but DePaul did struggle from the foul line! Freshman Kiy Hester added 8 points for DePaul while Mas Aronson helped Jacobs on the boards with 9 boards!
