Record-setting Parker, Crawford, Hadfield lead Salem County contingent at sectional meet; Woodstown’s boys second as team
By Riverview Sports News
TOMS RIVER – Salem’s Anthony Parker set a meet record and Schalick’s Jordan Hadfield and Woodstown’s Josh Crawford won two events to highlight Salem County’s showing in the South Jersey Group I track and field sectionals at The Bubble here Saturday.
Parker won the boys 55 hurdles in 7.71, break the old record of 7.72, set by Corsen Harter of Haddon Twp. in 2013. He was the fastest qualifier through the prelims (7.93).
Crawford won the boys 400 (51/03) and nipped teammate Cole Lucas at the wire to win the 800 (2:01.51). Crawford and Lucas also ran legs on the Wolverines’ runner-up 4×400 relay team that finished second to record-setting Woodbury and ran three seconds faster than the old meet record.
Hadfield won the girls 1600 (5:08.12) and 3200 (11:17.85). She also ran a leg on the Cougars’ third-place 4×400 relay team.
Woodstown finished a solid second in boys team standings behind Glassboro. Schalick and Woodstown finished 3-4 – one point apart – in the girls team standings.

Boys big night
Salem takes an intense win from Penns Grove; Hall, Leevy have career nights for Woodstown; Jones’ last-second FTs lifts Schalick to victory

PENNS GROVE – Under a different set of circumstances and math, this would have been a milestone night for Anthony Farmer. Instead, the Salem High basketball coach would have to be content to take the win and keep marching towards a good draw in the South Jersey playoffs.
Farmer’s Rams took down Penns Grove Thursday night 68-50 in an intense game that reminded the sellout crowd of the Salem-Penns Grove battles of old. There were five technical fouls called.
It would have been Farmer’s 100th career coaching win “on the floor,” but an NJSIAA ruling on an ineligible player in January stripped the team and him of four early-season victories leaving the coach at 96.
“That would have been special,” Farmer said. “That would have been nice.”
Once he reaches the milestone, he’ll join a unique club of basketball luminaries with 100 coaching wins, 1,000 career points in high school (St. Augustine) and 1,000 career points in college (Rutgers).
Salem sophomore guard Neziah Spence returned to his old school and torched his former team for a game-high 18 points with three assists, three steals and a blocked shot. He scored 28 points with eight 3-pointers for the Red Devils all last year as a freshman.
“That usually goes two ways,” Farmer said. “Young kid. Sophomore. Left there and went back and had a big night. Normally (they don’t), trying too hard, trying to press, trying to do too much. He really let the game come to him and had a big night. You could see how hard he was playing it really meant something to him.”
Two other times this year it went the other way for Rams players facing their former schools. Darrelle Johnson went scoreless in six minutes against Millville at the Boardwalk Classic and Tymear Lecator was under the weather when the Rams played Winslow earlier this week and had just four points.
Spence wasn’t the only Ram to have a big game against the Red Devils. Antwuan Rogers had 14 points and 15 rebounds; Johnson had 12 points, five rebounds and five assists; and Deshaan Williams had six points and 10 boards.
“We played really well; I thought it was an overall team effort,” Farmer said. “Everybody just maximized their potential and played their role to the best of their ability and when we do that we’re tough. We got a little something from everybody. It was fun to watch and good to see.”
Karon Ceaser and Jameel Horace led Penns Grove with 14 points apiece.

WOODSTOWN 78, SALEM TECH 27: M.J. Hall and Sid Leevy both had career nights as the Wolverines won their second straight and kept the Chargers winless. Hall hit career-high numbers for the second game in a row, this time going for 31 points. Leevy doubled his season production with a career-high 12 points.
“M.J. played great, Sid played great, too; I gave him the (MVP) chain,” Wolverines coach Ramon Roots said. “Sid has been a senior who didn’t play that much this year, but helped his teammates get better every day and never complained about minutes or hard work.
“He’s a great team-first guy. He doesn’t say too much but comes to partake ready to work every day. I rewarded him tonight. He played the whole game.”
The Wolverines’ 14 wins for first-year coach Roots this season are the most in a Woodstown boys season since a 23-5 year in 2019-20.

SCHALICK 46, PENNSAUKEN TECH 45: Sherrod Jones was fouled on a putback as time expired and made both free throws to give the Cougars the victory.
Jones picked up his fourth foul in the first half and sat until Jamari Whitley fouled out in the fourth quarter. The Cougars drew up a play to get Reggie Allen the last shot. The senior got a good look at it, but missed, but Jones followed it and was fouled.
The free throws he made to win it were his only points of the game. Allen led all scorers with 18 points. Nylan Sutton had 17.

PHILADELPHIA – All the times Nora Ausland would watch the 76ers play, whether it be one of the rare times in person or on TV, she always thought the NBA 3-point line was way out there.
Then she actually got on the floor and saw it from a player’s perspective and her suspicions were confirmed. The line was way, way out there.
But that didn’t keep her or her Pennsville teammates from trying their hand at shooting from out there. The Eagles made seven 3s from the NBA line Tuesday afternoon, with Ausland and Taylor Bass each hitting three, in a 57-38 loss to Clayton in the Wells Fargo Center that was more about the experience than the result.
“I just wanted to hit some NBA 3s and I did do it,” Ausland said. “I’m impressed because it’s really far.
“I always thought it looked far. When I was walking down on to the floor I’m like it’s not really that far, and then my first shot completely air-balled it; it was pretty far. It makes my perception really off, so I was glad I was able to make a few.”
Ausland wasn’t the only one drawn by the NBA 3-point line. Marley Wood also kept an eye on the arc. She only took a few shots from out there during the game, but finally hit one in the fourth quarter to cross that off her basketball bucket list.
“Being able to shoot from the NBA 3-point line was something really cool, being able to score from there,” she said. “It bounced off the rim a couple times and then went in, but it felt really cool to be able to make it from there.”
“I thought it was a great opportunity for them to have that experience,” Pennsville coach Steve Merritt said. “I’m really happy for them.”
Ausland had hit 37 3s this season, 77 in her two seasons at Pennsville and 139 in her career from the high school line, but when you get the chance to shoot on an NBA floor, that line is a challenge no one could resist. The extra four feet from the NBA line, when the shots started going in, made her feel a little like Caitlin Clark, a little like Steph Curry.
Shooting into the abyss that would be filled with fans watching the Sixers lose to Toronto later that evening, many of the Eagles’ shots from behind the arc during warmups hit nothing but … air. Undeterred, Ausland hit three of the next five attempts – all from the wing. She also made a layup and finished with 11 points.
“I got the hang of it,” she said. “Just being able to make those shots is what I’ll remember.”
That’s what Merritt was hoping they’d all remember, the experience of the day. All 11 Eagles who made the trip got in the game and can say they held court in an NBA arena. And they all got shots up.
“That was the whole thing,” he said. “Prior to the start of the game I called them all together, they were trying to acclimated to the depth perception, so I said, ‘Look, you know how I feel about competition and my desire to win – I don’t like not winning — but today, when are we ever going to get an opportunity to play basketball on an NBA court, when am I going to get a chance to coach on an NBA court, we’re just here to have some fun.
“Our position in the division is set. As far as the tournaments are concerned, that’s already locked, too. So, there’s nothing to be gained by winning this game so let’s just go out and have fun. Go out and enjoy yourself.”
It was a quick game and had to be. The teams had an hour to play while workers set up for the NBA game that followed and they didn’t have all the customary amenities that come with a regular game. It may have been a rushed experience, but one they wouldn’t trade for anything.
“It was really cool,” Ausland said. “Just thinking about the fact that all these famous players like Kobe (Bryant), people I looked up to, were playing on the same court I just played on was really cool.”

PENNSVILLE – The Pennsville girls basketball team gathered on the floor for a picture after receiving instructions for Tuesday’s trip to the Wells Fargo Center. They just thought it was another opportunity to take a team picture, but little did they know at the time it was a whole lot more.
It was a picture for posterity.
When the Eagles dispatched Penns Grove 55-49 they became the program’s winningest team in recent memory.
The Eagles had been stuck on 15 wins three times in the last previous five years, but Monday’s win was their 16th of the season in coach Steve Merritt’s first season with the team. (Their winningest teams went 23-3 in 1986-87.)
“I’m not going to take all that credit,” said Merritt, who came out of coaching retirement to take the program. “The ingredients were there. I just helped direct it.
“I am blessed with a group of people who really want to work and want to win and want to play. If it weren’t for the personnel, it’s tough to do that.”
The Big Three in that personnel – Taylor Bass and 1,000-point scorers Nora Ausland and Marley Wood – combined for 48 points. Ausland hit three 3-pointers and had a game-high 23, her first 20-point game since going for a season-high 29 against Overbrook Jan. 28. She had scored 53 points with an oh-for in the six games in between.
She hit two 3s in the first quarter and was off and running.
“Once I start making my shots I have more confidence in myself,” Ausland said. “The previous games, if I keep missing and missing I get in my head. I’m glad I got out of it today because we really needed it. We had a tough team today.”
The Eagles (16-6) never shook the Red Devils (9-10). Every time Pennsville pulled out to a lead, Brianna Robbins was there to bring Penns Grove back.
Robbins led the Red Devils with 16 points. She hit three of her four 3-pointers in the third quarter when the teams traded the lead on 10 straight possessions.
The game was tied at 41 with 6:05 left when Merritt called time to avoid a turnover. During the break he implored his charges to make Penns Grove work the ball to 40 seconds. The Eagles came out of that break and scored the next six points, with each of their Big Three getting a bucket, and never trailed again.
The trip is a go
With winter weather looming and a winter storm watch kicking in while they play, the Pennsville girls’ basketball game with Clayton at the Wells Fargo Center Tuesday is still on.
The Eagles’ plan is to play their game in the NBA arena, spend some quality time together at a nearby Dave & Busters, then head back to watch the Sixers play Toronto. The team bus will return to Pennsville after the D&B dinner with those going to the Sixers game carpooling back.
“We are definitely going to go,” Pennsville athletics director Jamy Thomas said Monday.
It’ll be a quick game. The Sixers give the teams an hour on the floor to get their 2:50 p.m. game in while crews set up for the main event later that night.
The Schalick boys beat the Clippers at the Wells Fargo Center last year 42-35. Those who stayed for the NBA game saw Joel Embiid go for 70 points against the Spurs.
“I’m really excited,” Eagles junior guard Marley Wood said. “It should be a pretty fun night. I’d prefer to get a dub. Hopefully we get it.”

PITMAN 68, PENNS GROVE 38: It’s never helpful when you’re missing a lot of shots, but missing against one of the top teams in the section is a recipe for disaster.
The combination of the ball refusing to go in the basket and 26 points from Pitman’s Elijah Crispin did the Red Devils in.
A 3-pointer play by Karon Ceaser and a 3-pointer by Roman Gipson got the Red Devils within two midway through the second quarter and then they went cold. Pitman scored the last 12 points of the half to take control of the game.

WILDWOOD 68, SCHALICK 58: Reggie Allen scored a career-high 31 points and attacked the basket well enough to get to the free throw line, where he went 17-for-19. But his individual effort wasn’t enough to offset three double-figure scorers from Wildwood and Brian Cunniff’s 38 points.
“Reggie’s quick and was able to use his speed to create separation,” Cougars coach James Turner said. “Once he got in the lane he knew how to draw contact and get to the line. He played with a lot of confidence and poise.
“The two of them attacking all night made it a good game. Reggie did a great job staying in attack mode and credit to Cunniff, he finished well at the rim.”
Allen hadn’t taken more than eight free throws in a game in his career before Monday night. He was 9-for-9 at the line in his previous two games. He raised his season scoring average to 15.14 points per game to close the gap on county scoring leader Tymear Lecator of Salem, but remains second in the county.

WINSLOW 61, SALEM 40: Marcus Upton scored 27 points and the Eagles used a 23-8 fourth quarter to put the Rams away.
A pair of free throws by Neziah Spence got the Rams to within nine with 5:11 to play, but the Rams didn’t score again until Harlem Parsons’ 3-pointer with 20.9 seconds left. It was the Rams’ only 3-pointer of the game.
The game marked a homecoming of sorts for Salem’s Tymear Lecator. The sophomore guard transferred from Window after his eighth-grade year. He has been fighting through illness the past few games and was held to four points. Deshaan Williams led the Rams with 15 points and 10 rebounds.

Riverview Sports News
PENNSVILLE – It’s days like these that make Senior Nights something special.
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.”

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.
