SALEM – There’s not a kid in America who has ever dribbled a basketball and not at one time counted down seconds in his head and drained a bucket at the buzzer to win some imaginary game against their rival or championship.

It’s like the golf kid who stands on the practice green and imagines sinking the putt that wins the Masters or the U.S. Open.

It’s part of growing up with sports in America.

Tymear Lecator was one of the basketball kids dribbling down the seconds in the playground to set up a buzzer beater. He was head on with the real thing Friday night.

There were three of those shots in the four quarters of Salem’s game with Wildwood. Lecator hit two of them to benefit the Rams. The third came at the final horn by Wildwood’s Trevor Troiano but was only good enough to close the margin in a 50-49 Salem win for the upper hand in the TCC Classic Division.

“When I was just a kid I’d be just practicing for that time, backyard, everywhere, and when the time comes don’t shy away,” Lecator said. “I want that shot and I’m confident in taking that shot. And I think it’s a good shot every time.

“You never know going into a game when they’re going to come around. Luckily those shots were in my hand when the buzzer was running down and I was able to get my team a couple buckets.”

Lecator beat the clock twice on his way to a team-high 18 points. His first buzzer-beater came from the right corner at the end of the first quarter and cut the Rams’ early deficit to 9-8. His second came in the third quarter off his steal right in front of the student section and capped a five-point burst in the final three seconds to gave the Rams a 35-31 lead. 

It was the last of 11 lead changes in the game.

But Lecator’s most important shots of the game came without the clock moving. He hit a pair of free throws with 3.5 seconds left to put the Rams up 50-46 lead and render Troiano’s 3 at the final horn moot.

“I definitely knew I had to go to the line and knock down both and I stepped up – after shooting bad at the free throw line,” Lecator said. “Luckily I was able to step up and knock down the two most important ones.”

The win kept the Rams (12-2) undefeated in the Classic Division, while handing the Warriors (7-7) their first division loss. Despite the important win, there were a lot of long faces coming out of the Salem dressing room.

The Rams didn’t shoot it well early against Wildwood’s tight defense, committed 21 turnovers, and nearly let a five-point lead get away in the final 40 seconds. They led 16-15 lead at halftime despite going 3-for-15 from the field in the first quarter, 7-for-26 in the half and 1-for-13 from behind the arc.

“I don’t think really anybody on the team is happy, personally,” Lecator said. “I feel like I played pretty good, but I’m not even happy. We got beat on the backboards. Loose balls. We didn’t play a clean game. Had a couple dumb turnovers. Didn’t take the smartest shots. Rushed a lot of shots.

“We’re, honestly, 20 points better than Wildwood and we just played down to their level today. We didn’t respect the game. Luckily, we still were able to come out with the win, but for sure nobody’s happy.”

Darrelle Johnson gave the Rams a 47-42 lead with less than 40 seconds left. Wildwood missed its next shot that Johnson rebounded, but fell to the floor and was called for traveling. He slammed the ball on the floor that drew a technical foul with 25.4 left.

Troiano hit both technical foul shots and then was fouled driving with the accompanying possession. He hit those two shots with 10.8 seconds to go to make it a one-point game and the Warriors immediately called time.

Xavier McGriff was fouled on the inbounds with 8.8 to go. He made the first of his two free throws, missed the second but the Warriors traveled with the rebound inside of five seconds. 

The Warriors fouled Lecator in the backcourt after the inbounds play and the Rams’ guard hit the two free throws that allowed the Rams to escape without joy.

“It’s just high expectations,” Rams coach Anthony Farmer said. “We have a standard here. We have a goal in mind that we’re trying to accomplish and you have to go out and compete and play at a high level in order to accomplish that goal.

“That’s what we’re working for. The win is great, the win is good, but at the same time we want to play a good brand of basketball to help us in March. I didn’t think tonight we played a good brand of basketball to help us in March.

“We’ve found ways this year to win games when we’ve been horrible and that’s part of being a pretty good team, finding a way. But you’ve got to find a way with energy and effort and I thought Wildwood came in with a lot of energy and effort. (Getting) 50-50 balls, offensive rebounding, getting multiple possessions. Those are things that are unacceptable when you’re trying to be ready for March.”

PENNSVILLE 46, COLLINGSWOOD 44: Mason O’Brien went for 32 points and the Eagles held on in the final five seconds to snap a 12-game losing streak and score their second win of the season.

O’Brien hit four 3-pointers and went 8-for-8 from the free throw line. He scored 20 of the Eagles’ 24 points in the second half.

“Mason was clearly the best player on the floor,” Pennsville coach Ray Heine said. “It was an evenly matched game in the first half. We took a 10-point lead late in the third, but it was sloppy finish.

“We’re learning how to close games. We were able to get big stops down the stretch. It’s nice to see things start to translate into game situations. When we play comparable competition I feel we can win.”

Girls games

SCHALICK 21, PAULSBORO 16: The Cougars found a way to win even when they didn’t play their best, coming to life in the fourth quarter to break away from the defensive battle.

The Cougars scored almost as many points in the fourth quarter as they had the previous three despite top scorer Nevaeh Robinson fouling out, outscoring their hosts 10-2 to overcome a three-point deficit. Robinson led Schalick with 10 points and was the game’s only scorer in double figures.

“We were able to get some shots to fall, that was the difference,” Cougars coach John Whelan said. “I think we were fatigued from a tough game against Pitman the night before and we were missing (point guard Olivia) Vanacker so we struggled a little offensively in the first half until we were able to adjust.”

Emmalyn Weir connected with Jaelynn Jarmon for a key bucket in the rally.

“We played well all night defensively so we were able to stay in it,” Whelan said. “The girls fought through the struggles and never let themselves be defeated. We were able to find a way to win on a night that wasn’t our best.”

The Cougars have won four in a row and now have nine wins, their winningest season since 2021-22 (10-11).

The Cougars battled back from a 19-6 first-quarter deficit to get the win.

“We talked all week about how physical Pitman is and how well they shoot the ball,” Schalick coach James Turner said. “Defensively we made too many mistakes in the first quarter. We made adjustments in the second quarter and our guys really responded.

“They played their asses off, made the necessary changes, and executed when it mattered most.:

WOODSTOWN – Some basketball teams, especially young ones that want to play at a fast pace, might be worried about playing on back-to-back days. Penns Grove coach Damian Ware welcomes the challenge.

Says it builds character.

The Red Devils have played on back-to-back days at least three times in each of Ware’s 13 years as head coach. They’ve already done it three times this season, but Tuesday was the first time they had won on consecutive days after turning back rival Woodstown 63-52.

It came a day after they beat Burlington City team in an intense MLK Day matinee decided by defense in the final 15 seconds.

“The difference between today’s game and yesterday’s game (was) yesterday in the fourth quarter we let Burlington City back into the game,” Ware said. “They took the lead on us at one point and we squeezed it out for the win.

“Today we stretched the lead out. It was a different game because we learned how to finish today. That was the difference between yesterday and today. It’s always good to finish a game and not have to worry about, shoot, we’ve got to make the last second shot to win the game, so that was good for us today.”

The Red Devils’ history has been pretty good on the second day of back-to-back games during Ware’s tenure. They were real good there for a while – 16-3 from 2017-2021 – and have a two years of struggle they’re starting to get the hang of it again.

They’re 32-24 in the second game of those sets, 20-12 after winning the first game. Their game Tuesday was their fourth in five days, sixth in nine.

The key to holding up in back-to-back games is having energy and Geonni Conrad said the Red Devils brought it from the start.

“Every time we come out with energy we do good, we can win back-to-back games,” the junior guard said. “If we don’t start the game with energy or a high tempo we most likely are losing to that team. I feel we like we did bring the energy early. I feel like we pushed it and tempo’d up the floor, played good defense and did what we needed to do.”

The second quality is stamina, and Ware has never worried about that.

“It’s very good for our conditioning,” he said. “We work very hard on practice on it. . We have good conditioning. I always say in the fourth quarter our conditioning should take over because we should be in better shape and we should be able to work harder from the first quarter to the fourth quarter and by the time we get to the fourth quarter we should have that team worn down. And I think that’s what happened today.”

The Red Devils got 17 points apiece from Conrad and Roman Gipson. Conrad opened the second half with two 3-pointers to help them start pulling away. There were four ties and eight lead changes in the first half.

“They were good looks,” Conrad said. “My teammates found me on the open wing and I tried to knock it down for them.”

They also got a double-double from 6-4 sophomore Mishawn Brantley. He had 10 points and 11 rebounds, with seven points and five boards coming in the fourth quarter when the Red Devils pushed the lead to 16.

“I came into this game looking forward to be dominating,” Brantley said. “I came into this game knowing we would win, knowing we were coming here and take home the win.”

“That was a break out game for him,” Ware said. “He’s only a sophomore and he hasn’t really played at a high level of varsity before, but now he’s starting to get to the point where he really understands it and he’s feeling more confident in himself. He’s coming out of his shell.”

The Wolverines were led by Blake Bialecki. The senior scored 16 points to push his career total to 916 and he hit two 3-pointers to break the boys’ school record for career 3s. Bialecki now has 167. The all-time school record is 186 by Talia Battavio.

“It’s cool,” he said of the record. “I work really hard shooting a lot of 3s training. I just want to win games.”

If Bialecki maintains his 14.3 ppg season scoring average he’s projected to hit the 1,000 mark at Overbrook Feb. 5, the end of a five-game road stretch. Failing that, the Wolverines’ three games after that are all against Salem County teams.

Girls games

PENNS GROVE — Woodstown’s Lauren Hengel gave one of the most courageous performances in the state Tuesday night.

The senior point guard lost her aunt and uncle in a Mullica Hill car crash over the weekend, but she played Tuesday night and led the Wolverines to a 60-28 victory over Penns Grove. She scored 24 points, hit four 3-pointers and pulled down 15 rebounds – all career highs. She also had four assists and five steals.

“Lauren was great tonight,” Woodstown coach Matt Smart said. “It was an emotional game for a lot of reasons, coming off an emotional loss last week and dealing with everything that she’s dealing with. At the end of the day she just wanted to be with her friends.

“She came out and played and was a leader on the court. Lauren is a fantastic player but at the end of the day she’s an even a better human being and I know the entire Woodstown community, family, our team, especially me, we all care about her.”

Hengel hit two 3-pointers in the first quarter as the Wolverines (7-8) jumped out to a 16-10 lead. She scored 14 points in the second half when they pulled away.

In between, she handled the ball, made several sharp passes that helped her teammates score, drove hard to the basket and held her own defensive guarding a big. She also helped bring players along who were getting some extended minutes.

“We’ve put her in a different role than she has been in the past three years,” Smart said. “There are ups and downs with that. Sometimes she can’t be that scorer that we need, but she distributes the ball. It’s a difficult year for her on the court dealing with that transition but she’s taken it in stride. She never complains about anything. She only asks how to get better.”

Emma Perry added 12 points and held Penns Grove top scorer Kezia Patterson to one field goal and seven points. JaNiyah Cummings led the Red Devils with 11 points.

Meanwhile, Kailyn Kennedy added eight points to the Wolverines’ attack, while Kendall Young and Talia Guardascione had seven points each.

Lauren’s uncle Thomas Hengel coached multiple sports at Clearview High School for more than 40 years. He was inducted into the Gloucester County Sports Hall of Fame in 2018.

SALEM — The Salem Rams didn’t know a whole lot about the A.I. duPont team they brought across the bridge to play Wednesday night, but they did know which Tigers to pay attention to.

The short film session the Rams had in the run up to the game made it pretty clear they had to keep an eye on Amir Robinson and Gi’lyl Conrad. Both were averaging nearly 20 points a game, but Xavier McGriff and Neziah Spence kept them both well below that on their way to a 74-62 border war win.

It was the Rams’ eighth win in a row, their longest winning streak since a 15-gamer in 2021-22.

“We definitely knew they were their guys,” said Spence, who drew the assignment on Conrad. “We watched a little bit of film so we knew what they could do. We knew if we took them away it would make it difficult for them to score.”

As it turned out, Robertson had 15 points and Conrad was held to 11. Seven of Robertson’s points came from the free throw line. Nine of Conrad’s came from outside the 3-point arc.

“They did a great job,” Deshaan Williams said of his teammates’ defensive effort.

Rams coach Anthony Farmer called the defensive showing “one of the better efforts we’ve had putting it all together.”

“We’re trying to put it together for four quarters regardless of what we’re in,” Farmer said. “We’re just trying to be smart about what we’re doing and have an identity and understand the game plan and execute the game plan. We’re getting close.”

In the second quarter they came out in tough man-to-man defense, generally holding the Tigers to one shot, and outscoring them 17-9 to take a 31-22 halftime lead.

Spence showed out at the start of the third quarter. He opened the half with two straight steals, one he got to Williams for a bucket and the other he took for a three-point play. He almost got a third the next time down the court, but got the rebound on the Tigers’ missed shot and fed Williams for another layup to give the Rams their biggest lead.

“We knew what we had to do,” Spence said. “We had to stretch the lead. The second half I came out energetic and feel like I set the tone and got it popping.”

Spence was good on the offensive end, too, going for a game-high 21 points. Tymear Lecator had 19 and Deshaan Williams had his fourth double-double of the season (14 points, 10 rebounds).

But the Tigers (7-2) wouldn’t go away. The 22nd-ranked team in Delaware (MaxPreps) chipped away the rest of the quarter and got back within 3. It was still a three-point game early in the fourth quarter when the Rams (10-1) went on an 11-2 run that expanded to 17-5 to move back comfortably ahead.

Farmer called it being resilient and making adjustments. In trying to keep up, the Tigers had four players foul out.

Rams senior Fatah Paige was most familiar with the Tigers. He played them one time last year when he was at McKean (Del.) High School and said they were “developed way more” than the team he beat handily last year.

Paige is progressing, too. He had seven points, four rebounds and an assist in his fourth game with the Rams since satisfying his transfer requirements. It came on the heels of a massive double-double against Clayton.

“I feel like I was just locked in,” he said of his big game. “I’m still getting warmed up to everything. I feel like as the games go on I’ll get more productive.”

WOODSTOWN – The Woodstown junior varsity came back from way downtown in the fourth quarter to win the undercard Monday night. It was the kind of rally that would have electrified the building, but the magic didn’t carry over into the main event for the home team.

The junior Wolverines thrilled the home crowd by coming from 23 down in the fourth to win at the buzzer, but in the main event it was all Overbrook. The Rams led wire-to-wire and although the Wolverines did make a run late left town with a 66-51 win to take the upper hand in the Tri-County Diamond Division.

Both teams were undefeated in the division coming into the game.

“They made things hard for us tonight,” Woodstown coach Ramon Roots said. “Seeing that was incredible by the JV and we had the energy in the locker room when we came out. It came down to great players make big-time plays and we just missed shots. It wasn’t our night.”

Overbrook established its dominance with runs at the start of each half. The Rams (9-2) jumped out 12-3 to start the game and then had the first nine points of the third quarter to set the stage for its 21st straight Diamond Division win.

“I just challenged our kids,” Rams coach Donny Lang said. “It’s a long bus ride, these kids from Woodstown they play hard and I challenged our kids to make sure we matched their energy or came out with more. They did that from the opening tip. They came out with the passion. it’s a division game, we want to win our conference and I credit my kids for coming out with that kind of energy.

“It’s funny. In this game we always say until there’s zeroes on the clock it’s never over. (Woodstown’s Alejandro Vazquez) hit a buzzer beater to cut it to 8 (at halftime). That was a big shot. We knew that kind of gave them some momentum coming into the second half so it was kind of like let’s start over and let’s make sure we win the second half, we’ll win the game.”

Lamar Little and Bilal Robinson, as usual, inflicted the most damage, going for 21 and 20 points, respectively, but the Rams got contributions from throughout the lineup. JR Stanley had nine points and five rebounds, Gavin Cajuste had seven rebounds and Jaden St. John had eight boards off the bench.

Little and Robinson had all but one of the Rams’ points in the 17-point first quarter.

“I’m very fortunate to get coach both of them,” Lang said. “Lamar’s a senior; he’s taken a big step for us. He’s kind of mentored Bilal and Bilal’s grown up fast from his freshman year. He started for us, but his role has changed now. He’s one of our main guys.”

Andrew White and Vazquez led the Wolverines (7-4) with 12 and 10 points, respectively.

The game stayed in the 12- to 15-point range after Overbrook’s opening salvo of the third quarter. The Wolverines really went cold to open the fourth quarter and the Rams were able to stretch the lead.

The varsity Wolverines just didn’t have as much time to work with the deficit as the guys in the first game, but they did put together a nice run late to make it respectable. They made a 13-2 closing run that included a pair of 3s by Connor Miller and one by Jack Hood-McGinley, the hero of the JV win.

“They came in and played hard and made shots, that’s what basketball comes down to,” Roots said. “As coaches we’re going to re-evaluate everything. Guys might get a chance to get more opportunities. That’s the message I gave.”

Xavier McGriff (11) and Neziah Spence (12) also scored in double figures. Deshaan Williams had eight points and 13 rebounds. Marshall Stephens had eight points and seven boards. And BJ Robbins had six points, seven rebounds and eight assists, picking up the slack without floor general Tymear Lecator in the game.

PENNSVILLE 57, SCHALICK 35: Sophomore Addie Johnston had the hottest hand of her career, hitting five 3-pointers and going for 22 points as the Eagles (6-3) remained undefeated in the TCC Diamond Division.

She hit four of her treys in the first half while scoring 16 points. She had 10 points in the second quarter as the Eagles erased a five-point deficit and took a 27-16 halftime lead.

“She was just hot in that first half,” Pennsville coach Steve Merritt said. “She missed four layups during the course of the game or could’ve been a really big game for her.”

Johnston hit four 3s twice last season (Haddon Twp. and Wildwood). Her previous career-high scoring was 21 points against Triton.

She had nine 3-pointers this season coming into the game and broke a three-game streak without one when she hit two against Delsea Saturday.
