Pennsville’s Marley Wood joins her sister, brother on Pennsville’s list of 1,000-point scorers
FRIDAY GIRLS BASKETBALL Pennsville 71, Millville 33 Buena at Salem
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
PENNSVILLE — Every day for the last three years whenever Marley Wood would walk into Pennsville’s gym for PE her eyes would instinctively move to the banner behind the basket recognizing the Eagles’ 1,000-point career scorers.
Every day, the last name on the banner would provide a source of motivation and inspiration.
It was the name of her sister, Ryane. From the first time she saw it hanging up there, she wanted to be on that banner, too.
Now, she will be.
The Eagles’ junior guard became the latest member of the elite club Friday when she scored her 1,000th point — and then some — in their 71-33 rout of Millville.
“I was just so relieved because it’s been my goal since I was little,” Wood said. “The day they put on my sister’s name I’m pretty sure I was here and I was just really excited to be able to see my brother and me right after her so that whoever walks in here will just know that basketball is such a big part of our lives.”
There was a lot of symmetry in the way it happened. Wood swished a 3-pointer from the left corner with 3:33 left in the first quarter to become the third member of her family to reach the magic number. Brother Luke (1,198) did it last year. Ryane (1,224) did it three years ago.
She also became the third player in Salem County to reach the milestone this season, following teammate Nora Ausland and Penns Grove’s RaNyiah Wilson.
“Wow, threes are wild,” Pennsville coach Steve Merritt said.
Ryane Wood walks out with the family to present her sister Marley (4) a banner to commemorate joining the 1,000-Point Club. Ryane and brother Luke (background) are also members of the club.
Wood probably could have done it Thursday in a similarly one-sided game with Schalick, but she didn’t want to steal the thunder from the seniors on Senior Night and scored just enough to leave the target within single digits. And by delaying it a day it gave more family and friends a chance to be there.
In addition to local friends and family who made it to the gym, sister Callie came all the way up from Virginia Tech to witness and celebrate the feat.
The game originally was scheduled as Millville’s Senior Night, but the Thunderbolts agreed to play it here and reposition its gala out of respect for the milestone. The Eagles’ next opportunity at home would have been Monday against Penns Grove, a game that now seems threatened by predicted bad weather.
“She looked so much more comfortable out there today than she was yesterday,” Merritt said. “Yesterday she was unselfish and passing the ball around and everything else. It was so cool she got it on a 3, too. That was ideal.”
Wood needed eight points to reach the milestone and accommodated the visitors who had to leave early by getting them in the first five minutes of the game. She opened the game by banking in a jumper from the top of the key, then hit a layup and two free throws before nailing the 3 the landed her on the number. She finished with 16 points and now has 1,008 in her career.
The goal now is to pass both her sister and brother on the scoring list — and they’re both within reach —but she’ll still be listed behind them on the banner because of the order it occurred.
“I’ve been waiting to see Ryane, Luke, Marley on the banner,” she said.
Taylor Bass had another big game for the Eagles (15-6), hitting four more 3s and scoring 26 points. She’s on track to become the next member of the 1,000-point club, now with 765 career points. Ausland added 14 to her career total and now has 1,064.
Late in the fourth quarter Merritt inserted Kylie Weist in the game. The freshman promptly picked up a loose ball hit a 3-pointer for the first points of her career.
There are a lot of points in this photo – 7,108, if your counting. Woodstown’s Talia Battavio (L) and (L-R) Ryane Wood, Luke Wood, Nora Ausland and AD Jamy Thomas – all 1,000-point scorers – were on hand Friday to welcome Marley Wood (4) to the club.

PENNSVILLE – It’s days like these that make Senior Nights something special.
MACALINO
When Pennsville’s Anikka Macalino tore the ACL in her left knee in the opening minutes of last year’s holiday tournament game against Buena, she didn’t expect to play basketball ever again. If she ever had a chance of coming back at all, she hoped it would be for Senior Night.
Well, not only did she play on Senior Night Thursday, she started (as is customary) and scored the first points of the game in the Eagles’ 60-21 victory over Schalick.
“It meant a lot because I haven’t played in about a year,” Macalino said. “I played JV earlier and my knee just gave up on me. I went into the room and started to cry, but I refused to give up on basketball so I came out and tried again.
“It’s a good feeling scoring the first points of the game.”
And it wasn’t some gift basket to make a player who’d been out all season feel good, either. The Eagles won the opening tip, got it to Macolino and she attacked the basket for a layup. She hit a deep 3-pointer in the third quarter as well.
“To see them go out there and be successful on their night is really kind of cool,” Eagles coach Steve Merritt said.
The game was quietly billed as the night Marley Wood would go over 1,000 career points, but Taylor Bass stole the show.
Bass stood out in the left corner all night and drained a career-best six 3-pointers on the way to a career-high 29 points. The junior hadn’t hit more than three 3s in any game previously in her career, but she was 6-for-7 from beyond the arc against the Cougars.
“I’ve never shot like that before in my life,” she said. “You have those days where you hit them and other days when you don’t. Today was one of those days they went in. I had all those open shots so I took them.”
Wood needed 20 points coming into the game to become the second Pennsville player to reach the 1,000-point mark this season, but had only 12 – and got most of those late. It’s all set up for her to get it Friday when the Eagles host Millville in a game the Thunderbolts agreed to move to Pennsville just for the occasion.
She’s “really excited” about the prospect of joining her sister and brother in the Eagles’ 1,000-Point Club, but it didn’t really hurt her feelings not to get it Thursday.
She said she’d rather do it Friday when more friends, family and especially her AAU teammates and coaches “who are the reason I’m going to score 1,000” could be on hand to witness it. And she didn’t want to steal any thunder from the four seniors who were being honored on their special day.
That mindset was evident early on when she came down on a 2-on-1 break with a clear path to the basket, but she passed to Bass who converted the layup just the same. She had seven assists in the game.
Wood had only five points through the first three quarters, but heated up with all seven of Pennsville’s points in the fourth to get the target down to a manageable number.
“I was getting a little nervous because I only had like five points in all three quarters,” she said. “I wanted to be able to know that I was going to get it tomorrow so I was trying to get at least double digits today so I could have an easier time of it.”
WOODSTOWN 63, OVERBROOK 7: Talia Battavio and Megan Donelson, who’ve been running neck-and-neck in their race up Woodstown’s all-time scoring list, both went over the 1,500-point mark and the Woodstown defense pitched a shutout through the first half.
Battavio scored 13 points to run her career total to 1,510. Donelson scored 15 to reach 1,501. Tori Smith, Woodstown’s all-time leading girls scorer, has 1,566 total points.
GLASSBORO 33, PENNS GROVE 31: Kimora Miles gave the Bulldogs the lead for good with 3:30 to play on a length of the floor layup after fighting through traffic on the other end of the floor. Kezia Brackett extended the lead with three free throws, the last with 14.6 seconds left to make it 33-29.
Penns Grove’s RaNiyah Wilson, the game’s leading scorer, went to the line for three shots with 1.8 seconds left. She made the first two to make it a two-point game, then missed the third on purpose with hopes of a quick put-back, but Glassboro was there to secure the rebound as time expired.

Salem CC women reduce their magic number for making the Region XIX playoffs to one after upsetting RCSJ-Gloucester; Laurence hits 5 treys
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
CARNEYS POINT – Salem CC women’s basketball coach Brian Marsh has preached to his team the way to work its way into the group of more established programs in the region is one small step at a time.
Well, the Mighty Oaks took a giant leap Thursday night, upsetting RCSJ-Gloucester 66-61 to keep their playoff hopes alive.
The Mighty Oaks (11-10) reduced their magic number to qualify for the Region XIX tournament to one after scoring one of the biggest wins since the rebirth of the program last year. They have to finish .500 or better to make the playoffs and have three games left to secure one more win.
The earliest they can clinch a spot is Tuesday at Mercer County CC, weather permitting. With heavy snow predicted for the region, officials from both schools will meet Monday to plot a course of action.
“They’re three good teams,” Marsh said. “We’ve got to go on the road to Mercer, at Lackawanna, which is never an easy trip, and then we’re home against Montco, which is Sophomore Day, so you never know how that’s going to play out because you’ve got emotions, a lot of family in town.
“That’s why today was huge. Because it gives us a chance.”
Guard Kathryn Laurence, for one, likes their chances.
“It’s not done yet, but the chances are really high of us making the playoffs, for sure,” she said.
Laurence was one of the ringleaders in an overall effort that got Thursday’s upset done. She and Nyaijah Jackson led the Mighty Oaks with 17 and 18 points, respectively.
Jackson hit several free throws down the stretch to keep the Roadrunners (19-4) at arm’s length. Laurence went 5-for-7 from behind the 3-point arc and is now has 95 treys for her SCC career.
“It was a good game for me,” Laurence said. “I’ve been on and off (with her shooting), but whenever I don’t think about the stats and I kind of put myself into the game I don’t worry about how many shots I make or miss and just play what the team needs me to do.
“I did feel good before (the game) and I was like I’m going to do whatever it takes for us to beat this team.”
The Mighty Oaks trailed by three at halftime, but outscored the Roadrunners, in the second half 34-26. They shot 57 percent from the floor in the third quarter.
Former Woodstown post Shannon Pierman was one of two Roadrunners with double-doubles. She had 17 points and 17 rebounds. Jermyra Bethea had a game-high 19 points and 11 boards.
“This was really big; it was just the girls fighting,” Marsh said. “They played hard. Their bigs were really hurting us down low and they’re making some shots, but we kept it in there. We were trading punches in the middle of the ring, throwing everything we can at them, but we got some timely turnovers and we pulled it out.
“This is a game last year we lost by 50; we played horrendous. That’s a big win because if you think about the three teams we kind of match up against in South Jersey, we beat Cumberland and lost to Camden and Gloucester. This year we beat all three of them. It’s little steps like that, taking steps up that mountain to get us where this program wants to be.
“Coming back from a bad loss last year and getting the win this year is just showing the growth of this team and this program. We want to be able to win these type games and that’s exactly what we’ve done this year and now we just have to get to the point where we can beat some of the upper echelon in our own division.”
3-point goals: Gloucester 2-19 (Bamgbose 0-2, DiPiero 1-12, Georgette 0-4, Carroway 1-1); Salem 7-19 (Jackson 0-2, Zullo 1-3, St. Clair 0-1, Laurence 5-7, Jenkins 1-4, King 0-1, Chambers 0-1). Rebounds: Gloucester (Pierman 17, Bethea 11); Salem 36 (Zullo 8, Chambers 7, Jenkins 6). Technical fouls: Salem (admin). Fouled out: Pierman. Total fouls: Gloucester 16, Salem 14.

Mighty Oaks set modern-era program record for most wins in a season after thrashing RCSJ-Gloucester for No. 19
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
CARNEYS POINT – The Salem CC basketball team checked off another box in their historic first full season under coach Mike Green Thursday night when it throttled RCSJ-Gloucester 94-65 for its 19th win of the season.
The win total eclipsed the 18-win benchmark established by the 2021-22 team for most wins since the school brought back the program in 2019.
The playoff-bound Mighty Oaks (19-7) will go after win No. 20 at Harrisburg Area, a team they beaten each of the last two years and put 110 on last season.
“I think we should have been at 19 a couple weeks ago; we gave a couple away,” Green said. “We’ve got more work to do, man. I think we’ve got three more games guaranteed, trying to pick up another game.
“That’s where we’re supposed to be, around that 20, 23, 24, 25. The league is tough this year, man. The region is tough this year. We’re right there with the top guys.”
As their last scheduled regular-season home game, it was Sophomore Night and the seven sophs who played combined for 60 points, 24 rebounds, 11 assists and five blocked shots.
“I’m going to have to get out on the recruiting trail,” Green said. “I didn’t realize we were losing eight people. there were eight of them. I’ve got to go out and get some players. I’ve got to get on it.”
Sophomores Akeem Taylor and Tyrese Fortune, both first-year SCC players, led the charge against the Roadrunners with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Fortune, who has been on a tear of late, also had nine rebounds. Taylor had five rebounds, four assists and three blocks. Eleven of 12 Mighty Oaks who got in the game scored.
Freshman Xavier Brewington had nine assists and freshman Jyheim Spencer had another double-double (11 points, 10 rebounds).
The Mighty Oaks scored the last eight points of the first half to take control, then buried the Roadrunners in the second half 56-33. Their bench outscored the Roadrunners 52-18, 30-4 in the second half.
“We just tried to give everybody a chance in the first half,” Green said. “To see what you got because somedays you got it and somedays you don’t. We feel our way out in the first half and see what’s going then we do the second half and give the guys another chance.
“Our bench played better (in the second half). We had five bench points against Montco, so our bench was a lot better. That was good.”
Something else that’s good has been the way Fortune has turned it up. He’s in the midst of his best run of the season, a response to Green telling him to “let it fly.” Over the last three games the Wilmington University transfer is averaging 22 points. He was averaging 9.5 in the 20 previous games.
“I’m telling you, coach just has so much confidence, I just had to get it out of me,” Fortune said. “I struggled in the first half of the season, but it’s coming to an end. It’s all about how you finish.”
“He’s who I thought he was going to be,” Green said. “He’s come along from where I thought he was supposed to be at the beginning of the year and I’m happy for him. He’s putting it together now.”

Schalick’s Simmons makes his longtime dream a reality, signing to play football at Millersville
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
CENTERTON – Like most kids who play football in their youth, Kenai Simmons always dreamed of playing on the college level one day. Instinctively, those dreams focused on the biggest programs in the country, the teams he would watch every Saturday on television.
SIMMONS
As he got older and he saw how the recruiting game was played the focus of his future landing place started to change. And as he saw how the game is played today, with transfer portals and NLI deals, he even doubted at times whether his dreams would ever materialize at all.
That’s what makes today such a special day for the versatile Schalick senior. His dream of playing college football became a reality at about 7:30 this morning when he signed and sent scholarship papers to continue his athletic and academic career at Millersville University.
The Marauders touted the signing with a “welcome to the family” post on their social media pages and Simmons is expected to have a signing event at Schalick to celebrate the feat later today.
“One thing about college recruiting nowadays, you’ve got to be strong for it,” Simmons said. “There’s a lot of ups and downs as anybody who’s in my age bracket could tell you. The transfer portal has kids, kids like me. You could be a good athlete or a great athlete, if you don’t have the right grades and the right exposure you might not find a college that’s for you.
“I started doubting myself. I started thinking like I wasn’t going to be at any college at all, any university. I was starting to look up how much Rowan’s tuition was, stuff like that. I was starting to think of what I would do after high school.
“For a good period of time my mind was not on college because it just wasn’t really working out for me. I didn’t really tell anybody that, I was just hoping something would come up so I could get even more motivation and really get this thing through. But here comes Millersville with a pretty good deal.”
Simmons visited Millersville last Wednesday and committed Saturday. He also visited Widener and Shippensburg and planned to visit FDU, Kings and D-III Springfield (Mass.), but ended his recruitment after the trip to Millersville. He took an unofficial trip to Villanova.
“College football for me was just a big thing in general,” he said. “It was a dream since I was young. When I was younger it was different, I wanted to go to Oregon or Ohio State, that was my dream when I was young. Once you get older you realize it’s not even just about the college football, it’s about the education, so I had to make sure I was in the right spot, had the right niche for me and they treat me right in the classroom.
“I went on a couple visits before Millersville and was waiting on some things before I made my final decision. When I got there I just felt at home, coaches were welcoming, players were honest with me about things going on within the team and the coaches got it right and this is their year they feel like, so I think Millersville’s the right place for me.”
Outgoing Schalick coach Mike Wilson agreed Simmons was one of the most versatile player he has coached.
“I have coached some really good players at Schalick,” he said, “but Kenai is special because we could play him in different roles.”
While Simmons played multiple positions for the Cougars, Millersville likes him as something it calls the Falcon-back, a hybrid slot/running back who sometimes just might be called upon to throw a pass.
It’s really not much a departure from what he was used to and actually what he was hoping to find on the next level. He played something similar in his pre-high school days and right before accepting the quarterback’s role as a junior for the good of the team.
His versatility is reflected in his stats. He ran for 2,358 yards and 40 touchdowns in his four-year varsity career. He passed for 1,760 yards and 19 touchdowns in his last two, and caught 13 passes for 358 yards and five touchdowns in his last three.
Before the move to quarterback reduced his role on defense, he had 67 tackles and three interceptions.
“I’d definitely say I was happy with what we accomplished,” Simmons said. “I wasn’t satisfied, but I was definitely happy. There’s definitely a difference there. Not to be cocky, I don’t think anybody on our team could have played the position I played and the way I played it.
“I think I really just pushed the idea (of playing quarterback( out of my head that I didn’t like doing it. But I did it for my team. I had guys on that team I really cared about. I did it for the guys. I did it so we could succeed and try to get a ‘ship under our belt.”
And succeed they did. The Cougars went from not winning a game the year before Simmons made the varsity to playing in a Group I sectional title game each of his last two years. Two years ago, in Simmons’ first year as the quarterback, they started 11-0.
His plan is to report to start his new adventure in August.
“I don’t think relief is the word, but I can’t find a better word than relief right now; we’ll go with relief,” he said. “It was definitely a lot of stuff coming off my shoulders. I think I sat down in the tub for the first time in forever. It was that great. I’m happy to have the opportunity and you know I’ll make it count.”
Schalick quarterback Kenai Simmons is joined by his family and the Cougars’ coaching staff in celebrating his signing with Millersville Wednesday.
Woodstown girls regain the lead in Diamond Division after turning back Pennsville, Battavio, Donelson closing in on 1,500 points, Eagles’ Wood nearing 1,000
TUESDAY’S GAMES Woodstown 59, Pennsville 47 Glassboro 52, Schalick 22 Clayton 66, Salem Tech 12 Penns Grove 64, Overbrook 19 Pitman at Salem
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
PENNSVILLE – The Woodstown girls basketball team hasn’t had a five-year stranglehold on the TCC Diamond Division by folding under the pressure of a challenge.
The Wolverines faced the sternest late-season challenge to their diamond dynasty Tuesday night, but they never flinched and turned back upstart Pennsville 59-47.
The teams entered the game tied for the Diamond Division lead. Had the Wolverines fallen, it not only would have ended their 34-game Salem County winning streak, it may also have ended their run of four straight division titles.
Now, they’ve won 35 straight against in-county opponents and are on the verge of a fifth straight Diamond Division crown having only the two weakest teams left to play on their divisional schedule.
“At the beginning of the season we set a list of goals and obviously one of those goals was to win the division,” said Woodstown coach Matt Smart, the newest gatekeeper of the dynasty. “It’s something we will never take for granted, especially with this group of girls.
“They come out in games like today, they had a different look on their face. You could tell that we had three days off and they kind of got re-energized, refocused. Basketball is a long season and I think those three days off helped us a lot and you could tell the girls were extremely focused. When we play together like that, we’re just phenomenal.”
The Wolverines trailed only once in the game, at 7-5. From there they went on a 13-2 run to the end of the quarter, capped by Ryann Foote’s bucket at the buzzer, to take control. Foote only regained her eligibility in January after transferring from Salem – where she played for current Pennsville coach Steve Merritt as a freshman – and has brought additional quality to an already stacked line-up.
She had her Woodstown best eight points in the game and pulled down seven rebounds. She called getting the win against a former teammate and coach “put the cherry on top” of the day.
“I was excited because we really needed a win,” Foote said. “We obviously knew we really had to show up and do good, but we didn’t really let that get in our heads. We just knew we had to play our game and work as a team and a family to get it done.”
The Wolverines were led by Talia Battavio (18) and Megan Donelson (13). Battavio hit four 3-pointers and moved within three points of 1,500 for her career. Donelson needs 14 to reach that milestone.
Meanwhile, a big part of the Wolverines’ success came from eliminating one of the Eagles’ three main scorers. Taylor Bass had 18 points and Marley Wood had 15 (to move within 20 points of 1,000), to basically play Battavio and Donelson to a scoring stalemate, but the Wolverines held 1,000-point scorer Nora Ausland scoreless for the second time this season and got modest contributions from their supporting cast..
The Eagles won the last time Ausland was shut out, but that wasn’t the case this time.
“Just watching film on them from our previous game we kind of made a few adjustments and I’ll be honest Meg Donelson came up to me on Monday and said I want to try to guard her,” Smart said. “Whenever Meg comes up to me like that and she has a look on her that’s like we’re doing this (it’s happening).
“She is a phenomenal defender. She always has the hardest assignment every game. She has to output us for offense and stop the girl on defense and she’s always up for the challenge.”
Had Pennsville won the game, the Eagles would have been in good position to win a division title for the first time since 1988. They’d have held a one-game lead on Woodstown with division games left with only Penns Grove and Schalick.
It’s unlikely the Wolverines will lose one of their two remaining division games that would have given the Eagles the chance to climb back into a share for the title.
“I told them 18 games ago, when I pointed that out to you it would have been nice (to get), but I didn’t realize how good you could be,” Merritt said. “I discovered. I learned. Today was a big step. We were there. Nobody expected us to be there, but here we are. I’m proud of them. Of course, I’m disappointed, but I’m proud of them. We hung in there.”

PENNSVILLE – Woodstown coach Ramon Roots’ focus was clearly on the present Tuesday night, but he also got a pretty good glimpse of the future.
The Wolverines had their way with Pennsville in a 68-30 win. It was the kind of game that gave them a chance to do a lot of things, play a lot of different people.
Impressed by his play in a weekend loss to Bridgeton last time out, Roots gave Andrew White his most appreciable minutes of the season and the freshman didn’t disappoint.
White scored a career-high nine points, grabbed four rebounds and blocked a shot.
“At the beginning of the year, like at practice and stuff, you would see glimpses of what he can be,” Roots said. “He’s going to be a big piece of the program in the future. He just got kind of lost in the rotation a little bit, but he’s always been that type of player.
“Then in the Bridgeton game I just happened to try something. He only had like a 2-3 minute stint, but in the first couple possessions he got back-to-back rebounds and he got a putback. I’ve just been impressed at what he’s been doing in practice and the JV level. He’s been working his way up and he’s going to keep on adding minutes.”
White did most of his damage in the second half. He scored eight points in a 32-point third quarter that left the Wolverines with a 37-point lead.
“This means a lot,” he said. “It shows on the varsity level that I can do it.”
As White spoke one of his teammates draped the Wolverine medallion indicative of the game’s MVP around his neck.
“This means everything,” he said. “I worked my butt off to get the chain.”
The big third quarter was the Wolverines’ first 30-point quarter of the season and more than doubled their point production for the game. They opened the half with four straight 3-pointers, two by Alejandro Vazquez and one each from Garrett Leyman and Eli Caesar. The Wolverines hit seven in the game.
Six different players scored in the third quarter, nine players scored in the game.
“Our tempo in the first half was slow,” Roots said. “I was telling the guys before the game let’s pass the ball inside. I think they thought I meant be passive. I was explaining we had 12, 12 and then we had 30. We had more (points) there than in the first half combined.”
Among the other future leanings Roots worked into the game was getting White and fellow freshman Branden Hall on the floor at the same time and giving junior Blake Bialecki extended minutes at point guard. Hall had four points in the third quarter. Bialecki didn’t score in the game, but he dished at least a half-dozen assists in the first half, four in the first quarter.

Salem CC falls to No. 5 Montco as potential game-winning 3 is blocked in closing seconds
By Riverview Sports News
BLUE BELL, Pa. – The Salem CC basketball team came within a whisker of upsetting a nationally ranked region team for the second time this season, but in the end had its potential game-winning shot batted away.
The Mighty Oaks lost to No. 5 Montgomery County CC 74-72 Tuesday night and had the potential game-winning shot in their hands. The Mustangs (18-2) blocked Tyrese Fortune’s potential game-winner with 1.4 seconds left to deny Salem’s upset bid and extend their own winning streak to 12 games.
“We fought,” Salem coach Mike Green said. “The Montco coach celebrated as if they won the championship; that doesn’t sit right with me. I guess he forgot they’re the defending champs and ranked No. 5. We will see them again.”
The Mighty Oaks (18-7) played catch-up most of the game. They were down seven with 1:51 to play, but Akeem Taylor dropped in three straight layups between a couple Montco free throws to bring them within 73-70 with 31.9 seconds to left.
Xavier Brewington’s layup of a Taylor pass with 8.8 seconds left made it a one-point game. Salem fouled on the inbounds play and Montco’s Baasil Saunders hit the second of two free throws to set up the final play.
Taylor brought the ball up the floor for the Mighty Oaks and got it to Fortune on the right side of the arc with time running out. Emfinger slipped between Taylor and Saunders to block Fortune’s shot.
With a little better spacing, it might have been different.
Fortune raised his hands after falling to the floor seeking a foul, but there was no call and the clock ran out.
The Mighty Oaks, who received votes in the national JUCO Division III poll for the second time in three weeks, played the top four D-3 teams in Region 19 over their last six games. Green was hoping to gain a split of the gauntlet, but instead went 1-3 while winning the two easier games in between.

PENNSVILLE – Senior Night started with such promise for the Pennsville basketball team, on the court and on the scoreboard. But in the end a winnable night turned into a game that got away.
The Eagles raced out to a 15-point lead on Buena early in the second quarter, but they couldn’t hold it. A lack of rebounding and a series of turnovers down the stretch conspired to send them to a 57-49 loss.
“Sometimes you get grapes and sometimes you get raisins,” Pennsville coach Joe Mecholsky said. “Tonight we got the raisins. Tomorrow we’ll look to have grapes.”
The teams played a triple-overtime game in their first meeting, but the Eagles (2-16) came out Monday determined not to do that again. They held the Chiefs (6-12) to two points in the first quarter and led 17-2 two minutes into the second. But then Josue Cuadrado got going for Buena and the Chiefs cut their deficit in half by halftime.
“That’s a dagger,” Mecholsky said of the early lead. “17-2, you want to go ahead and put that game away when you can; credit to Buena, they stuck with it, and offensively we shut down again. 17-2, everybody thought it was a good night, let’s blow these guys out, we lost our brains. Young teams will lose their brains sometimes.”
Cuadrado’s run in the second quarter just set the stage for Jaevon Alexander in the second half. Alexander scored 22 of his 25 points in the half and made the biggest plays down the stretch.
His 3-pointer with 5:06 left in the third quarter tied the game at 26 and moments later Cuadrado’s three-point play gave the Chiefs the lead for good.
Buena led 48-46 with one minute to play, then Pennsville committed four straight turnovers off which the Chiefs scored seven points to decide the game. Alexander had three steals in the stretch. The first one he sent Cuadrado off on a layup, the last two he took in himself. Pennsville had eight turnovers in the fourth quarter.
“We got beat by the better team,” Mecholsky said. “When the chips were down we folded. None of us collectively played well tonight. I didn’t coach well, the players didn’t play well and everybody collectively in the Pennsville basketball program has to get better for each other.”
The loss spoiled a 25-point game by Pennsville’s Jovanni Rios. He had eight in the first quarter to get the Eagles going.
The game got off the chain at the end. Moments after Cuadrado beat the buzzer with a final layup, one of the referees tossed his whistle to his officiating partners at midcourt and squared up on a Pennsville assistant. The game video from above the floor clearly shows the official taking a boxer’s stance.
The other two officials moved their partner away from situation and towards the officials’ dressing area with Mecholsky chasing behind. Pennsville police and game security stepped on the floor to restore order and PMHS athletics director Jamy Thomas directed the gym to be cleared.
There appeared to be some additional activity outside the gym, but it had dispersed by the time security still inside rushed out to the scene.
PENNS GROVE 76, RIVERSIDE 48: Red Devils coach Damian Ware gave Jeremy Costacamps his first varsity start and the sophomore made the most of the opportunity.
Costacamps drew the start because the Red Devils were down in the post and he responded with 10 points.
“He’d gotten into a car accident and hurt his knee, so he’s been out a couple weeks,” Ware said. “He just came back last week and looked really good so I said let’s throw him in the starting lineup, let’s give him a chance.
“He did what he’s supposed to do. He did what I expected him to do, actually.”
Costacamps had been making his bones on the JV team, but played in one varsity game before Monday night. He scored four points in a January game against Pennsville shortly before the accident. Ware already has decided the sophomore would start again Tuesday against Overbrook.
“You play well, you play, you keep playing well, you play more,” Ware said. “It’s all about opportunities and maximizing your opportunities, and he did that tonight.”
Eleven players scored for the Red Devils (9-8). Roman Gipson led the way with 13 points. Karon Ceaser had 10 and Luis Colon tied his career high with nine.

Totals 29-11-76.
PENNSVILLE 58, WEST DEPTFORD 51: A steady and successful march to the foul line and a switch on defense midway through the fourth quarter powered the Eagles to their second straight win in the tuneup for their TCC Diamond Division showdown with Woodstown.
The Eagles (13-5) went 13-of-14 from the line and switched to a man defense to power a 25-9 fourth-quarter uprising that won them the game.
Pennsville trailed by nine entering the fourth quarter. Marley Wood went 7-for-7 from the line and scored 13 points in the quarter. Nora Ausland went 6-for-7 and had eight in the frame.
“They had a lead and I could see that West Deptford’s coach wanted to hold the ball; naturally, we couldn’t allow that,” Pennsville coach Steve Merritt said. “I handed out assignments and told them to personal responsibility if their player got the ball or scored. To their credit, they stepped up.”
Wood led all scorers with 23 points and moved to within 35 of 1,000 for her career. Ausland, who went over 1,000 last week, finished with 13. Taylor Bass had 12 with two 3-pointers.
A win over the Wolverines Tuesday night would give the Eagles a split of their season series and a one-game lead in the division race.
3-point goals: Pennsville 3 (Bass 2, N. Ausland); West Deptford 4 (Jamison, Connelly, Fronza 2). Fouled out: N. Ausland, Fronza. Total fouls: Pennsville 13, West Deptford 20.
SCHALICK 37, BUENA 21: The Cougars took control of the game with a 14-4 second quarter and got more separation with an 11-2 third. The win snapped a four-game losing streak.
“We challenged the girls to be more aggressive scoring inside and they did a nice job,” Schalick coach John Whalen said. “Likewise, defensively we were aggressive and very disciplined when we decided to press in the middle two quarters.”
Freshman Navaeh Robinson led the Cougars (4-11) with nine points.
