Hawthorne Christian Stops Saddle River Day 53-37!

Saddle River……Hawthorne Christian came to Saddle River Day intent on stopping the #1 scorer in Bergen and Passaic County and getting a “W” in the process! They got what they came for as H.C. handled Saddle River Day rather easily in a 53-37 victory and holding Leading scorer Dave Rosado to 12 points, 13 below his average! While eyes were on Rosado, Hawthorne Christian had a few players establish themselves in the game!  6’6 Freshman Alex Thomas(#23) looks like a special talent who seems to have a lot of upside! Thomas finished with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 3 blocked shots! Junior Paul Little also showed the kind of athlete he is! Little(#12) had 8 points and 10 rebounds and showed spring in his legs with his vertical! The most entertaining was probably 5’6 Junior Jamari Moss(middle) who was a pain to Saddle River Day the whole game with his quickness and energy! He did a good job of getting the ball where it needed to be, accounting for 6 points, but more importantly 5 assists and 4 steals! Hawthorne Christian took a 35-18 halftime lead and never felt threatened!

NOTE: Rosado dealt with a box and one defense and was covered everywhere which has been par for the course during the season! He still showed glimpses of his scoring prowess and is a high quality athlete!
