Basketball Roundup: Tuesday Night Action

Mendham 54, Par Hills 53

Rob Berish scored his standard 22 points (boring). Cisco drained an additional 17 in the win over a spotty Par Hills team. Is Par Hills good or aren't they? Not even they know the answer to that one. This Mendham team has some grit and I like that. But can they hack it against Weequahic and MoHills? We'll see. I would like to see Dateline's Chris Hansen and runningback Mike Salerno get more action.

Weequahic 94, Morris Hills 77

Adam Katz scored 29 in this duel vs. Weequahic. Justin D and Kellner combined for 31 but they were no match for Jashaon Mixon (23) and Dashawn Eagle (18). I like this Weequahic team because they have tons of weapons. Amad Bogar and Shahid Brown can both drain the deep ball while their bench is very deep. Plus, they have cool uniforms. I have a feeling these two teams will be meeting in the post season.

Chatham 65, Parsippany 56

Billy Oliver was the man in this game scoring 19, swatting 30 balls and taking down 55 boards. Parsippany just couldn't hang in there despite Tariq Yabadabadoobi draining 19, including 5 tre's. But it did look like Parsippany was starting to find their way a little bit. Chatham is starting to hit their stride.

Columbia 65, Morris Knolls 39

Jameel Grace (remember that name) and Yvon Raymond (and that one) combined for a whopping 42 points in a shilacking of Morris Knolls. Columbia is seriously one of the best teams to come this way in a long time. They are 10-0 and their games look like a college team playing a high school JV team. I don't see them getting beat for the rest of the season, Seton Hall Prep and all.

Seton Hall Prep 85, Randolph 39

The Gibbs bros. combined for 34 points while Tony Peters drained another 12 points. Gibbs, who is the superstar of the team is starting to get help from his supporting cast and this SHP team is realling starting to gel.

Mount Olive 65, Morristown 38

Russell Halloway is just playing fabulous and his counterpart, Dan Guttman is not doing too shabby as they combined for 48 of the 65 points for Mt. Olive. Morristown continues to dissapoint. At least they are dissapointing me. I picked them to go far this year and I hate having egg on my face. But, to be fair, George Bass did have a big injuring coming into the season and my feeling next year they will kick a**.
