Next games are at Monroe Saturday and at GL Monday
UNION – When this girls’ basketball conference-crossover contest was scheduled for the first week in February, little did either athletic director – Westfield’s Sandy Mamary and Union’s Linda Ionta – realize that both rivals would be 14 games over .500 at the time of the all-important clash. Westfield visited Union Thursday afternoon, both elite teams […]
Bulldogs improve to 9-5 overall after topping division leader
Wanting to prove that the performance they produced at Westfield three weeks ago was the exception rather than the norm, the Dayton Bulldogs saw a great challenge ahead of them. They had the opportunity not only to make amends for the 27-point loss they were dealt by the home team Blue Devils that Jan. 10 […]
UNION – Gavin Murray came oh so close last year. The talented Cranford grappler met Governor Livingston’s Ryan Hoy in the county championship bout at 132 and was edged by the defending champion 9-8. That was the last of the 14 finals matchups. Murray, a junior, and Hoy, a senior, were destined to meet again […]
UNION – A big part of Emanuel Kema’s practice routine includes taking a couple of hundred shots. “I have to get my 3s in,” the 6-0 Union senior shooting guard said. “I have to work on my footwork.” While practice may not make perfect all the time, it sure helps increase the odds of making […]
Cougars face Westfield in UCC-Mountain Division play
UNION – Ryan Huber, who played his high school ball at Dayton and is now in his eighth season as the head boys’ basketball coach at Cranford, is looking forward to coaching his first game at Kean University. Cranford will play Westfield Sunday at 2 p.m. in the second of five contests of the second annual Investors Games at Kean. “It’s great for the kids and […]
Sophomore guard drains game-high 6 3-pointers; Dolce scores 10 and Moneme leads Farmers with 12 rebounds; Summit sparked by eight points from reserve Richardson and six by starter O'Malley
UNION – Jasmine Bonaparte’s steal and layup gave Union its first lead. Her first of a career-high six 3-point field goals – from the right side – extended Union’s second lead to five points. Bonaparte’s second 3-pointer – this time from the left – ignited an 18-2 run that began in the first quarter and […]
After a successful three-game stint in HudsonCounty over the holidays, the Union girls’ basketball team will look to take that momentum with it when Union County Conference-Watchung Division play continues for the Farmers this weekend. In a battle of two of the top teams in UnionCounty and in the UCC’s Watchung Division, Union (4-1) will […]
ROSELLE – Freshman guard Jennifer McClave scored the game’s final five points, including the game-winning shot with 8.1 seconds left, to lift Roselle Catholic to a 41-38 win over Morris Catholic in Monday night’s Roselle Catholic Tournament girls’ basketball championship game at Roselle Catholic. Both highly-regarded parochial school teams entered the contest with identical 3-0 […]
UNION – So far the pattern has been eerily similar two games into the season. Roselle Catholic’s girls’ basketball team struggles a bit in the first half and is outscored in one of the first two quarters. Then the Lions turn it on in the second half as they have limited their first two foes […]
CRANFORD – There are times you can argue that the game’s most important basket was made before the fourth quarter. A case could be made for that concerning arch rivals Governor Livingston and Cranford. In Friday night’s girls’ basketball season-opener at CranfordHigh School’s Martin Gymnasium, it was a long-range basket by the person who ended […]
