North Bergen……… Sophomore’s Reggie Cameron,Kavon Stewart and Raekwon Kelly led Hudson Catholic to an easy win over North Bergen 70-47! The victory improved their record to 19-4! Cameron(#2) led the scoring with 21 points and 7 boards, while Stewart(#3) had 12 points and 5 assists and Kelly(#15) finished with 15 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists! Junior Mark Wilson added 10 points in the game! North Bergen stayed close in the 1st quarter, down only two 17-15 at the end of the stanza! That was about all she wrote as Hudson Catholic’s Sophomore class, including guard Travis Flagg(10pts) is about as good as it gets and each contest they are getting better and better! North Bergen was led by Senior Eddie Garcia with 13 points!

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! 

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!
