Riverview Sports News

PITTSGROVE — John Whelan held his breath a little bit when the Tri-County Conference officials were seeding their annual tournament and he let out a small sigh of relief when they finished their business.

Whelan’s Schalick girls basketball team was having one of their best seasons in a while, but its power points on Super Bowl Sunday left it on the bubble of making the TCC Championship Bracket reserved for the the league’s 12 heaviest hitters or the Postseason Bracket with what was left.

A power point here or there or a team jump-seeding its neighbor in the standings and a lot of things could change. When it all shook out, the Cougars fell on the Postseason Bracket side of the line — the No. 1 seed, if fact — and now, instead of facing an upper seed in the first round of the upper bracket with the expected consequences, they have a chance to win a championship.

The Cougars earned a spot in the Postseason Bracket championship game Thursday night when they dumped Salem 47-33. They now host Deptford (12-14) for the title Saturday at 10 a.m.

“It’s exciting,” Whelan said. “The girls deserve it. They’ve earned it. They put the work in all season, in the offseason in here, every practice, in the weight room, so it’s kind of come full circle for us. It’s exciting times to have this opportunity.”

In the past, the TCC split its tournament into three divisions – the top 8 (A), the eight in the middle of pack (B) and the also-rans (C),. This year they decided to expand the upper bracket to reward the league’s four division winners that sometimes didn’t make the A Bracket with first-round byes

They seeded it straight on the power points among the conference’s 23 teams – with the exception of the division winners who earned the top four seeds – and went to a 12-team upper and 11-team lower bracket. 

The Cougars came in at No. 13, despite having as many or more wins than seven teams in the Championship Bracket at the time of the seeding, meaning they were the first team out and the whole Postseason Bracket went through them. They were the winningest team in the bracket by five wins.

“You always want to strive to play for that higher competition, but we fell where we fell,” Whelan said. “The 1 seed, that would be extra home games for us. We approach it the same way we would any other bracket or championship or any other game. This is just as important to us as it would be if we were in the other bracket.

“It definitely gave us an opportunity to be where we are, for sure. Some of the upper-tier teams is something we’re striving to work towards and we’re making good strides. This is definitely a bracket with good competition, as seen in the past two games, and we’ll see again Saturday. This is the start of our post-season.” 

Nevaeh Robinson led Schalick with 14 points and nine rebounds. Cali Fisler had a career-high 13 points, including 7-of-8 from the free throw line. She was 5-for-6 in the fourth quarter, undermining the Rams’ strategy for getting back in the game. 

The Cougars were 18-of-27 from the line for the game, while the Rams were 13-of-29.

“We talked about the importance of free throws, especially in a playoff game,” Whelan said. “We knew it was going to be physical and we prepared for that mentally and physically. We spent a lot of time with free throws (in practice) and to their credit they knocked them down.”

“I just was really confident this game,” Fisler said. “I knew what I could do at line. I knew my percentages overall have not been very good this season, but I knew what I could do, so I stayed calm despite the noise they were trying to make and I just did what I do.”

Point guard Liv VanAcker got the Cougars through some of the more chaotic moments of the fast-paced game and dished seven assists to move within four of Abby Chomo’s single-season school record (89). Ava Scurry blocked four more shots, leaving her four shy of her single-season record (85).

“It was chaotic, yes, but our team is very good with chaos,” VanAcker said. “At first we start off a little shaky, but we get our groove after a while.”

DyAira Anderson led Salem with 14 points and 20 rebounds. Carlysia Pierce had 11 points and 12 rebounds. The Rams forced Schalick into numerous turnovers early and led 5-4 after a turnover-filled first quarter, but they were negatively impacted throughout by missing too many shots in close and struggling at the free throw line.

“You’ve gotta have the ball go through the circle.,” Salem coach Kemp Carr said. “You can’t get four and five shots at the basket, two feet, and you don’t make it. It’s not so much what they did more than what we didn’t do. We just didn’t execute what we needed to execute. You’ve gotta make shots.”

Oh so close

Woodstown boys win 4×400 relay in record time, but it left them one point short of winning the South Jersey Group I indoor sectionals; the difference was Glassboro’s third-place finish by 0.10 seconds

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

TOMS RIVER – Blink your eyes. That’s how close it was to determining the South Jersey Group I boys indoor track sectionals champion Sunday.

As these meets always seem to do lately, it came down to the final race between Woodstown and Glassboro in the 4×400 relay.

Woodstown had to win it and have Glassboro finish fourth or worse – or some other combination of a six-point swing – to win it all at the Bubble.

The Wolverines did what they needed to do, winning the race in a PR meet record (3:30.30), but Glassboro raced to third (3:37.78), a scant 0.10 seconds ahead of fourth-place Gateway, to grab just enough points to win the team title by one point.

Glassboro scored 54.60 points overall to Woodstown’s 53.60.

The Wolverines relay team of Karson Chew, Anthony Costello, Kyle Reitz and Josh Crawford obliterated the old 4×400 record of 3:32.09, set by Woodbury last year. Salem finished second in the race.

“We knew going into the 4×4 that we needed two things to happen,” Chew said. “We needed to win and Glassboro couldn’t get third or better. Unfortunately, only one of those things was in the cards for us.

“Everyone ran a great race and we all did the best we could with what we could control. Now it just comes down to regaining our confidence and going into states with a good mentality.”

Through five events both teams were lagging behind leader Haddon Twp., but after the completion of the high jump and 800, the Wolverines had pulled in front, bringing Glassboro with them. The margin was seven points..

Glassboro made a big move in the 3200, the next-to-last event in the meet. Top-seeded Bulldog Joseph Saicic won the race and Jaeden Wesley, the 18th-seeded runner, finished fourth. Jacob Marino gave Woodstown its only points in the race, finishing sixth.

Salem County produced three individual champions. Crawford won the 400 (51.13) and 800 (1:59.87, going 1-2 with Chew), and Woodstown’s Kami Casiano won the girls high jump (5-0). In addition, there were four other runner-ups — Penns Grove’s Kylee Goodson (400), Woodstown’s Aiden Taulane (shot put), Woodstown’s Lia Covely (girls 55 hurdles) and Pennsville Kallie Morrison (girls high jump).

In all, Salem County qualified 28 individuals and three relays to the state group championships back here on Feb. 22.

This is the second major win for Casiano this year. She won the Tri-County Showcase with a jump of 5-2. She started the new year with a third-place finish in Penn’s Ott Center on Jan. 3 (4-10) and finished fourth in a batch meet here on Jan. 10 (5-0).

“I’m so happy about winning sectionals today,” Casiano said. “A big goal I had for myself this season was consistency. I’m getting past my nerves and giving it my all.”

Here are the event winners and Salem County qualifiers to the state group championships. The top six in each event score points and qualify for state.

This story will be updated.

SALEM — All year long the carrot Salem’s boys basketball team had been chasing was the No. 1 seed in the South Jersey Group I tournament. It appears the Rams have claimed their prize.

After dispatching Salem Tech 66-64 on Saturday’s final day of power points qualifying, the Rams (19-4) appear to have secured the No. 1 seed by nearly two full points over No. 2 Palmyra. If the tournament were seeded as of 5 p.m. Saturday night, they would host No. 16 Riverside in the opening round of the playoffs.

It’s the first time an Anthony Farmer-coached Salem team is No. 1 in South Jersey. The Rams went to the South Jersey finals in his first season as the No. 2 seed.

“We’ve been taking care of business all season long, we’ve been finding ways to win, so this is the result,” Farmer said. “We’re excited about being the 1 seed and having everything come through Salem and having home court advantage. Now we’ve just got to get to work and see how far we can go with this thing.”

Here are the top 16 South Jersey Group I boys qualifers (and projected matchups) based on the power points standings at press time:

1. Salem (19-4), 2. Palmyra (17-6), 3. Haddon Twp. (20-5), 4. KIPP (15-6), 5. Burlington City (12-11), 6. Penns Grove (15-10), 7. Woodbury (11-14), 8. Woodstown (15-10), 9. Paulsboro (11-11), 10. x-Audubon (12-12), 11. Pitman (10-14), 12. Glassboro (7-15), 13. Wildwood (12-11), 14. New Egypt (11-13), 15. Gateway (13-11), No. 16 Riverside (9-14). x-LEAP, No. 10 in the power points standings, is ineligible for the playoffs.

Projected pairings based off those seeds: Riverside at Salem, Paulsboro at Woodstown, Glassboro at Burlington City, Wildwood at KIPP, New Egypt at Haddon Twp., Pitman at Penns Grove, Audubon at Woodbury, Gateway at Palmyra.

On the girls side, the projected seeds are:

1. Haddon Twp. (19-5), 2. Wildwood (17-6), 3. Audubon (17-6), 4. Glassboro (18-6), 5. Palmyra (18-4), 6. Pennsville (15-7), 7. Gateway (14-9), 8. Woodbury (11-13), 9. Burlington City (15-7), 10. Schalick (15-6), 11. Woodstown (10-14), 12. New Egypt (10-12), 13. Riverside (9-11), 14. Cape May Tech (7-14), 15. Salem (8-9), 16. Clayton (8-13).

Projected pairings based off those seeds: Clayton at Haddon Twp., Burlington City at Woodbury, New Egypt at Palmyra, Riverside at Glassboro, Cape May Tech at Audubon, Woodstown at Pennsville, Schalick at Gateway, Salem at Wildwood.

In Farmer’s mind, having the home court is the biggest advantage to being the No. 1 seed.

“That is the big deal,” he said. “Kids have a tendency to get behind the home crowd and play with more energy and play better at home. Salem has a lot of support, our fans come out, so it’s great for us to be at home.”

The Rams were home Saturday and sent their seniors off in style. Farmer played the seniors on Senior Day and they made it happen.

Donnie Weathers led them with 13 points. Xavier McGriff had 12, and Kaden Robinson and Marshall Stephens had 10 apiece. All the players will be available for their next start, Tuesday against Williamstown in the Tri-County Tournament quarterfinals..

“We’ve been playing good basketball the last few weeks, I’m excited where we are,” Farmer said. “You want to be playing your best basketball around this time and I feel like we’re more disciplined, we have a better understanding of who we are as a group, so I’m excited about the run we’re going to make.”

HADDONFIELD 49, WOODSTOWN 44: The Wolverines cut a nine-point fourth-quarter deficit to three with five seconds left, but couldn’t come all the way. Haddonfield missed a free throw with 4.7 seconds left and the Wolverines had the ball, but couldn’t get the tying shot to fall and the Bulldogs escaped with their 11th straight win.

Blake Bialecki led Woodstown with 12 points, but was held without a 3-pointer for the first time in 21 games and the first time at home since last year’s opening-round win in the South Jersey Group I tournament. He remains at 199 for his career. He had a good look at one with about 30 seconds left and the Wolverines down five, but rattled the rim three times before falling out. Elijah Caesar and Alejandro both hit two 3s and both finished with 10 points.

Chris Beane led Haddonfield (21-3) with 12 points, seven rebounds and three assists. Chase Stadler hit three 3s and finished with 10. The Bulldogs are the projected No. 1 seed in South Jersey Group 2.

HADDONFIELD (21-3): Mike Douglas 2 1-6 6, John Scipione 1 2-4 5, Chris Beane 4 4-8 12, Jack McKeever 1 0-0 2, Mike Mooney 3 1-4 7, Ryan Guyeiyian 1 5-9 7, Chase Stadler 3 1-4 10. Totals 15 14-35 49.

3-point goals: Haddonfield 5 (Douglas, Scipione, Stadler 3); Woodstown 4 (Caesar 2, Vazquez 2).

STEINERT 55, SCHALICK 30: The Spartans from Mercer County dominated the first and third quarters to take control of the game. Steinert’s Michael Shaklin hit four 3-pointers and led all scorers with 18 points. Christian Guagliardo went 6-of-9 from the line and added 10. Julian Dickerson led Schalick with 14 points.

Girls games

DELSEA 47, PENNSVILLE 30: Peyton Parker scored 22 points and the Crusaders held Pennsville’s top two scorers to a combined 13 points to win in the final game of the opening round of the Tri-County Conference Championship Bracket. The loss snapped Pennsville’s seven-game winning streak and was the Eagles’ first in the six games since changing coaches Feb. 2.

Taylor Bass was Pennsville’s leading scorer with 10 points. Marley Wood was held to three. She tried to play through illness in the first half, but sat out the second.

“Delsea came out to play,” Eagles coach Robin Efelis said. “They were aggressive and played well. We had a few days of good practices, but it wasn’t enough.”

PENNSVILLE (15-7): Taylor Bass 3 4-7 10, Marley Wood 1 1-2 3, Addie Johnston 3 0-0 7, Izzy Saulin 1 0-0 2, Jaiden Wilson 0 1-2 1, Jaida Burns 3 1-2 7. Totals 11 7-13 30.

3-point goals: Pennsville 1 (Johnston); Delsea 2 (DiBona 2).

MIDDLE TWP. 55, SCHALICK 26: The Panthers went looking for a last-minute game addition to enhance its power points position and the Cougars answered the call to test themselves against the projected No. 1 team in South Jersey Group 2.

Middle (21-4) jumped out quickly and held the Cougars (15-6) to two points in each of the first two quarters. Interestingly, the Panthers didn’t put a scorer in double figures, but had 11 players scored. Vicky Basich led Schalick with eight points. Nevaeh Robinson had seven points and 10 rebounds.

Schalick benefitted from the game as well. The Cougars earned enough power points to project to No. 10 in the South Jersey Group 1 standings, the second-highest team from Salem County.

BRIDGETON — Ramon Roots has seen teams play aggressive defense against his Woodstown basketball team in the past, but Friday may have been one of the most energetic he could remember. It only looked better because of the trouble his team didn’t handle it.

The Colts were all over the Wolverines all game and were particularly effective in the fourth quarter while pulling away to a 54-32 win in the opening round of the Tri-County Tournament Championship Bracket.

“They played tough, they play hard on defense,” Roots agreed. “We’ve seen a 1-2-2 before, it was nothing new, we just didn’t execute what we were supposed to do. They play hard, they play relentless, they really wanted to win. Their energy level was up there with some of the best teams. We just kept making mistakes.”

In the second half alone the Colts (17-8) forced Woodstown into 15 turnovers and 5-for-22 shooting.

“They’re an aggressive team for sure,” point guard Alejandro Vazquez said. They were aggressive, hands all over, always playing the passing lanes. They were a very good defensive team. We’ve played against aggressive teams, all these teams that pressure, we just couldn’t handle the pressure today.”

The Wolverines (15-9) weren’t bad defensively either, early. They’d get stop after stop, but then they’d turn it over before they could capitalize. “You can’t win like that,” Roots said. 

They finally cracked in the fourth. Blake Bialecki hit his 199th career 3-pointer with 6:47 to go in the game to bring the Wolverines within five, 34-29, but they didn’t score again until John Hood-McGinley’s 3-pointer with 1:40 left. By then, the Colts had opened a 21-point lead. 

The Wolverines were 0-for-7 from the floor, with six turnovers and two missed free throws between the treys. All 15 of their points in the second half came on 3-pointers.

“One of the things we’ve focused on was finishing,” Colts coach Lamont Robinson said. “A year ago we played really well for 28, 29, 30 minutes, but our finishes weren’t great. Beginning of the year we got a couple early-season losses because of how we couldn’t finish. Even a week ago. So that’s something we focused on, being our best when it matters most, and tonight we were able to do that.

“We’ve progressed and improved our identity on the defensive end and tonight was a reflection of that growth. Our guys are bought in to the things it takes to win. If you want to win a championship you better be able to stop somebody and that’s what we’re trying to do – build a program that is willing to do the things that it takes to win and defense is a big part of that.”

Cumberland didn’t allow the Wolverines a scorer in double figures. Blake Bialecki was Woodstown’s leading scorer with nine points, all on 3-pointers. He should get his 200th career 3-pointer Saturday morning against Haddonfield in their last game before the power points cutoff.

The Colts, meanwhile, had three scorers in double figures — DJ Mosely (14), Pat Crawford (12) and Kaleb Green (11).Crawford had 10 in the fourth quarter.

They also held Vazquez, Woodstown’s other 3-point threat, to four points – all in the first quarter. Robinson said being aware of their location on the court was a big part of the Colts’ approach.

“Absolutely,” he said. “There are guys you don’t want beating you because that’s how teams beat you and those were those guys for them, so we came in wanting to neutralize those guys. I’m not sure what they ended up with, but for the most part I feel like we did really well.”

POSTSEASON BRACKET
CLAYTON 94, SCHALICK 79: You know when you get in a game with the Clippers you’d better be ready for a track meet. Schalick placed five scorers in double figures, but was slow out of the gate compared to their hosts and was in catch-up mode the whole second half.

Jase Volovar led the Cougars with a season-high 18 points, two off his career high. Kade Macom had 16, matching his career-high for the second straight game. Julian Dickerson had 17 points while Orion Baldwin and Cooper Willoughby had 10 apiece. Virtually all of their points came from the field. They didn’t go to the line much and had only one free throw.

Clayton’s James Fritz led all scorers with 21 points. The Clippers had three other scorers in double figures and got scoring from seven others. Only two others scored for Schalick outside of its double-figure scorers.

GIRLS BASKETBALL
WOODSTOWN 67, SALEM TECH 16: Emma Perry just missed her career-high on her Senior Night, 12 players scored and the Wolverines rolled in their final regular-season game. Perry scored 17 points, one shy of tying her career high she set two weeks ago. Lauren Hengel, another senior, added 12 points and 10 other Wolverines scored.

The Wolverines celebrated their Senior Night, then shutout the Chargers in the first quarter 26-0.

“It was a very good night,” Woodstown coach Matt Smart said. “We have had a tough season this year and the girls continued to work hard every practice and every game.

“There have never been any complaints all year from the girls. They enjoy the game of basketball and they enjoy being around each other. There are countless conversations and jokes happening all the time with this group.

“The best part of the game for me as a coach was seeing the smiles on the girls’ faces. They were out there having fun. Yes, we care about wins and losses, but you play a sport because you have fun doing it. We often forget that and the girls did not forget about that tonight.”

The team’s four seniors — Perry, Hengel, Kyia Leyman and Kailyn Kennedy — all scored in the game. They combined for 39 points, 22 rebounds and 12 assists. In addition to her points, Perry had five rebounds and five assists. Hengel had eight rebounds and seven assists, Leyman had five rebounds and Kennedy had four rebounds.

“This senior class is a very special class,” Smart said of the group that has been a part of 70 wins in four years and played for three head coaches. “(They) all work extremely hard all of the time. They are a tight-knit group, but a very selfless group; you could see that tonight. We gave up good shots for better shots and moved the ball well. Seeing that on over half the shots we made tonight there was an assist is a very special thing.

“I’m going to miss this group so much. They are very special and you can tell how much they mean to the rest of the team based off of tonight’s Senior Night festivities. Luckily, our journey isn’t over yet.”
