St. Anthony Captures State Non-Public B” CHIP”!

Toms River………..Really, this game was an after thought! But it had to be played and St. Anthony was not going to get caught like they did last year against Trenton Catholic! Last year after an emotional win against Paterson Catholic, the Friars were shocked by Trenton Catholic in the State Championship! But this year, after another emotional win against St. Patricks they came prepared to finish the job this season! And with the addition of Paterson Catholic’s Senior Myles Mack and Junior Kyle Anderson they did just that!Led by Anderson’s 22 points in three quarters St. Anthony coasted to the Non-Public B State Championship over Cardinal McCarrick 75-28! St. Anthony took a 18-8 lead at the end of the 1st quarter and pushed it to 41-18 at the half! Was never in doubt! The win kept St.Anthony as the mythical #1 highschool team in the country as they head into the Tournament Of Championship(T.O.C.)! The subplot to this is Mack and Anderson, who after a year of losing their school took their talents to St. Anthony and captured what eluded them last year! Anderson added 5 rebounds to his point total, while Mack, who’s committed to Rutgers next year didn’t put up the numbers he’s accustomed to but dished out 8 dimes with 3 steals! Junior Jerome Frink added 12 points and 6 rebounds and Senior Lucious Jones chipped in 10! Remember, this was all done in 3 quarters or less! McCarrick was led by Junior Ahmid Williams with 9 points and 4 assists!

NOTES: On a personal note, it was good to see Mack(left) and Anderson(right)get this “Chip”! They are two character kids who did not deserve what happened to them! All the Paterson Catholic players and family can be proud of the success of these two players! Take it from me and the conversations with them! THEY HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN!!!!!!!!!!
