Jared Washkau had just an amazing game scoring 31 points in a near defeat of the undefeated Columbia Cougars. The Wolfpack stunned the Cougars all game, and held their leading scorer Jameel Grace to only 7 points.
West Morris came on strong in the fourth quarter outscoring Columbia 25 to 9. "We knew if we could hold Raymond and Grace to less than 20 points a piece we could hang in there. We feel we did that. We made a big push after the game, but it was just too little too late." Washkau said after the game.
Even though they lost, the Wolfpack should consider this a moral victory. This would have been a devastating blow to the 11-0 and 9th state ranked Cougars had they lost.
"Whew", Raymond said after the game. "That was way too close. I think we were just too nervous to be this far in the woods. Next time we face them on our home court, it will be a blow out." (Raymond did say any of that...although, they were probably nervous being that far in the woods of Long Valley)

Morris Hills 64, Mendham 74
The stars are really starting to align for Mendham. When I say stars I mean, Rob Berish and Mark Cisco. After playing a very agressive b-ball game vs. the mighty Morris Hills, the Minutemen took the win and has now improved to 9-2. The Itailian Stalions Steve Ciampaglio and Chris Campisi are also stepping up huge for the Minutemen. Campisi drained four 3-pointers for his team.
What happened to Morris Hills? Well they were not push overs in this game, Adam Katz drained 25 points, including 11 from the line. Justin D. added 11 and Kellner drained another 15.
Mendham's strategy in this game was agressive and to foul and foul often and let Mo-Hills beat them at the line. MoHills just could not keep up. "They came into this game with an agressive game plan and it worked for them." Katz said after the game. "Cisco had a really big game for them and the Itailian Stallions were too much for us" (Katz didn't say any of that)

Dover 36, Chatham 64
Dover continued their streak after their loss against Chatham last night improving to 0-10. Sotoris Spiliotopolis, also known as, The Greek God, scored 8 points while Anthony Tobar drained another 19.
Of course, Billy Oliver scored 19 and brought his team to an impressive 9-3. But the real story is the streak.
Tobar said after the game, "Our goal was to keep the streak alive. We are just happy we were able to do that. It was fairly close going into the fourth quarter, but coach only allowed us to score four points in the fourth to ensure the streak would stay intact." (Tobar didn't say that...nor would he probably ever say that)

Ashton Gibbs scored 26 points (boring), while his freshman brother added 11 more in a win vs. Roxbury. Roxbury made a big push in the fourth quarter, scoring 19. Kevin Ahern was money from out side draining 4 tre's. But they just could not hold off the Gibbs Bros.
"We have a good system, my brother Sterling passes me the ball and I score." Ashton Gibbs said after the game. "Sometimes I pass it back to him and he scores. It seems to work for our team." (Gibbs didn't say that)

Randolph would be undefeated right now...that is if they didn't lose 9 other games. But they are 2-9 now. I am fighting trying the desire to be incredibly sarcastic so I better just move on to the next game.

Hanover Park 55, Parsippany 49
Chris Seery comes out of obscurity to drain 19 points in this win vs. Parisppany. Phil Gatti added 19, including three from down town. My boy Pete Nagy also added 11 points.
HP was too much for Yabbadabbaqoobi and the Redhawks. Steve Connolly played impressive, draining 23 points, but couldn't hang on vs. the Hornets.
"Seery was on fire in this game." Gatti said of his teamate. "He was money from all over the place. We needed someone to step up and he answered the call." (All fake quotes)

Mount Olive 60, East Orange 54 (OT)
Four of Mt. Olive's starters scored double digit numbers in their suprise win over the EO Badgers (or whatever they are called). Russell Holloway was his superstar self nailing a whopping 29 himself.
Sir Mix A-Lot only had 7 while David Lowery added 17 in the loss. Isiah Johnson made a showing with 12 points but it was just not enough.
"We really wanted to shut down Sir Mix A-Lot." Holloway said after the game. "He was tough to contain, but we were just happy to have the win." (all fake quotes)
