SALEM — Schalick girls coach John Whalen went to bed Monday night resigned to the fact his team just missed out on the biggest tournament of the season. But about an hour before their Tri-County Conference flight opener Tuesday the Cougars got a big surprise.

With his junior players standing behind him, Whalen out of curiosity opened the South Jersey Group I girls tournament bracket on his computer and discovered they had indeed landed a spot in the field. It’s a tough spot — No. 16 to face top-seeded Haddon Twp. — but a spot nonetheless. 

The Cougars were the No. 17 team in the SJ Group I power points, but apparently bumped up into the field when Pitman fell out.

“It’s a nice surprise,” Whalen said. “I’m excited for the girls. It’ll be a good experience, especially for the juniors who didn’t get to see the playoffs last year and the freshmen will get a good experience. It’ll be a good opportunity for us as we look ahead to the future.”

Buoyed by that news, they went out and put together a balanced effort to throttle Salem 53-25 in their TCC Tournament Flight C opener.

The Cougars (6-16) jumped out to a 15-4 lead and outscored the Rams in three of the four quarters. Ten players scored, led by freshman Navaeh Robinson’s 11 points. Five players scored six points apiece.

“We played a very good, a complete, basketball game today,” Whalen said. “Before the game we kind of challenged the girls to play fast, play aggressive. We came out, we pressed, forced some turnovers, got some early scoring. It was good to see it be a balanced effort both defensively and offensively. Everybody chimed in and did their part.

“It’s nice for all the girls to kind of find some success. We’re starting to gain some confidence as the season is kind of coming to an end. It gives us a lot to look forward to for next year when we bring back everybody.”

While their South Jersey Group I Tournament draw is a tough one, the Cougars will get an advance feel for facing a No. 1 seed. Their win over Salem sends them to face the top seed in their flight, Deptford, Thursday.

MULLICA HILL – The last kind of team anybody wants to play in a tournament setting is one with nothing to lose and everything to prove.

Salem has been playing with an us-against-the-world mindset for the last month or so and Tuesday added another notch in its belt, knocking off adjusted top-seed Clearview 57-44 in the opening round of B Flight play in the Tri-County Conference Tournament.

The Rams (12-12) have been facing an uphill climb since mid-January when the NJSIAA ruled they had played an ineligible player and stripped them of four victories. That created a cascade of challenges that left a 15-win team on the floor to be seeded eighth in the second tier bracket of their conference tournament and No. 11 in the upcoming South Jersey Group I tournament.

In addition, they had to play Tuesday without leading scorer Tymear Lecator, serving the first of a two-game suspension for his ejection in the Penns Grove game, which would have been coach Anthony Farmer’s 100th career coaching win without the NJSIAA ruling.

“We’re keeping receipts,” Farmer said. “We’re definitely playing it to the tee, playing it up. It’s us against everyone, no one’s going to give us anything, everyone’s against us, we’ve got to go take it.

“We’re embracing it. Nothing has gone our way this year, but that’s life. That’s adversity. Life is adversity. Basketball teaches you how to deal with that. We’ve been facing adversity all year, but it’s how you respond to it.”

The Rams showed they meant business right from the start Tuesday night, holding their hosts to two points in the first quarter and opening an 11-2 lead.

Neziah Spence led the Rams’ offense with 17 points. Deshaan Williams had 13 points, 10 rebounds and two steals. Darrelle Johnson grabbed 10 rebounds and dished five assists. Xavier McGriff had eight points, eight boards and three steals. Joe Tunis brought energy for 11 points, five rebounds and three steals.

“When one guy guys goes, I know it’s a cliché, but it gives other guys opportunity to step up,” Farmer said. “That’s what this is about. We’ve been preaching the brotherhood all year, picking each other up.”

This year’s TCC B Flight has become a flight of fancy with all four lower seeds pulling off road “upsets” in the opening round. The Rams now travel to fifth-seeded Gloucester Catholic, one of those teams seeded ahead of them they have already beaten twice this season.

“We’re just trying to get better and hit our stride at the right time and win three, four in a row next week when it really matters,” Farmer said.

One last shot

The Salem CC women’s region playoff hopes rest with the season finale after road loss to Lackawanna

By Al Muskewitz
Riverview Sports News

SCRANTON, Pa. — If the Salem CC women’s basketball team wants to play in the region playoffs for the first time in 20 years, it will have to win its final game of the regular season. There will be no scoreboard watching, except the one in Dupont Fieldhouse. It’ll all be on them.

Salem CC sophomore Kathryn Laurence flashes a sign to note the 100 career 3-pointers she’s hit for the Mighty Oaks.

The Mighty Oaks lost their final road game of the regular season Saturday, 72-57 at Lackawanna. It left them one game under .500 for the season and needing to beat Division III No. 15 Montgomery County CC Tuesday in a game already steeped with Sophomore Night emotion to qualify for the Region XIX playoffs.

They last time they had a .500 or better record that would have gotten them in the playoffs was 2005-06 (14-14).

“Nothing has been easy with this team this year so why would this last game be any different?” Mighty Oaks coach Brian Marsh said. “It all comes down to one game on Sophomore Day and it won’t be handed to us. We have to go get it.

“I have faith this team will do what is necessary and come away with the win in their last home game of the year.”

The Mighty Oaks got off to a slow start against the Falcons (16-6) and couldn’t recover. They shot just 3-of-16 from the floor in the first quarter and 7-of-29 in the first half and trailed by 15 at the break. Lackawanna scored 28 points in the paint and 19 points off Salem turnovers.

“We played hard and our energy was great, but our execution was poor,” Marsh said. “We missed a lot of layups.”

Two Salem CC players reached personal milestones in the game. Maggie St. Clair led the Mighty Oaks with 15 points and went over 500 points for her JUCO career. Kathryn Laurence hit two 3-pointers among her eight points to reach 100 treys for her career. She needs three points for 500.

“Very proud of Kathryn, who in my opinion is the best shooter in program history,” Marsh said. “Maggie is a dynamic scorer, so I expect her to score for us regardless of the opponent.”

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.

Pennsville girls get a feel for the NBA on the Sixers’ floor at Wells Fargo Center, includes scores and highlights from Tuesday night’s Salem County basketball schedule

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.”

AUDUBON – Riley Papiano has never felt so happy to be dropped on his head before.

Papiano painfully won his match at 157 in the South Jersey Group 1 wrestling semifinals Monday night when Audubon’s Pedro Marte was disqualified for slamming the Schalick senior to the mat.

As much as it hurt in the moment, Papiano knew what it meant. The win clinched the Cougars’ 36-31 victory over the No. 1 seed sending them to the sectional final for the first time in school history.

“It was a great night,” Papiano said. “I think it was amazing for the team, the school, everybody.

“I don’t think anybody counted on us getting this far. All the newspapers were going against us and I think we’re just shocking the world. We’re showing everybody else wrong that we can compete at a higher level than anybody else thinks we can.”

The school-record setting win sends the once-beaten Cougars (24-1) to Paulsboro Wednesday – weather permitting – to face the perennial power Red Raiders for a spot in the state final four.

“I don’t think anyone thought we had a shot,” Schalick coach Joe Frassenei said. “Everyone was like, you don’t wrestle a good enough schedule. They weren’t afraid of the big situation. They just wrestled them like they were another opponent and went out and did a great job.

“I told my assistant it was like disbelief (when they clinched). We knew we had a shot, but then reality set in that we actually are going to the South Jersey final for the first time in school history.”

The Cougars had a lot of work to do to get there. Ricky Watt (175) and Evan Elliott (190) “really set the tone for the whole night” with a pin and decision in the first two weight classes to get them rolling.

The Green Wave (22-5) won the next four bouts to go up 20-9. The Cougars stormed back to retake the lead 24-20 on wins from E’Shion Underwood, Luke Silva and Ryan Miller, but Audubon took it right back on Tyler Perozzi’s tech fall at 138 to set up the end game.

Koen Martin (144) and Ayden Jenkins (150) won tight decisions to set up the Papiano-Marte match. If Marte won, the match would go down to the final bout. If Papiano won, it was over.

“I was more proud of the team (than his win),” said Papiano, who’s headed to Norwich (Vt.) University to play football. “It was a team win tonight, it wasn’t an individual. It wouldn’t have been a clinch if Ricky Watt didn’t pin in the first and Ayden Jenkins did get that tough match or Koen didn’t squeeze by and all these other matches, it wouldn’t have mattered.

“As a team I think we embrace (the underdog role) fully. We know no one believes in us and we know every time we win it just makes everybody else more mad.”

If the Cougars are able to pull it off Wednesday, Papiano said, “it would mean the world” to him. He also was part of the Schalick football team that played for South Jersey Group I title in the final.

“Two sectional final games in one year for me is amazing,” he said. “I’d love to win one.”

The Cougars got to Audubon by beating Haddon Twp. in the quarterfinals 44-36. They opened a 44-0 lead, then forfeited the last six weight classes. 

Paulsboro got through its half of the bracket by beating Pitman 45-24 and Woodstown 38-37. Sawyer Cabanas pinned Thomas Lacy in 21 seconds at 157 to give Paulsboro a 13-point lead in the Woodstown match and the Red Raiders forfeited the last two weight classes to bring the final margin.

Woodstown took out Pennsville 61-16 in its first-round match.
