River Dell Overtakes Bergenfield In O.T. 39-36!

Bergenfield, N.J……… River Dell trailed for most of the game and with it being played at such a slow pace it seemed as if Bergenfield had control of the contest! However, trailing 28-20 at the end of the 3rd quarter River Dell played lights out defense and held the Bears to one field goal in the 4th quarter! They also benefitted from the fact that Junior Tim Barnes(Right) decided to takeover for the Hawks! Barnes finished with 20 of his teams 39 points and kept River Dell close enough to have his team make their push in the 39-36 win! The Hawks finally tied the game at 30 with 1:37 left in the 4th on a steal and layup by Ryan Duran! Neither team could score another basket and the game went into overtime! Barnes scored 6 of River Dell’s 9 points in overtime and finished the scoring with two free throws to give them the final score! A desperation “triple” by Bergenfield came up short! Duran finished with 10 points while Sean Boland had 9 boards! Barnes added 8 rebounds to his game stats! Bergenfield was led by Senior Corey White with 11 points and 9 rebounds and Senior Kevin Pineda with 7 points and 4 assists! The win kept River Dell undefeated at 5-0, while Bergenfield fell to 4-4!
