GLASSBORO — The banner had been prepared and was folded neatly in the car. The plan was to bring it in sometime during the second half if Blake Bialecki was getting close to the milestone.
The Woodstown senior has been closing in on the 1,000-point barrier, but Glassboro — and Mekhi Parker — were determined not to have it happen on their watch.
The Bulldogs played what their coach, Lynell Payne, called “one of our better” defensive games of the season. They held Bialecki to nine points and stuffed the “sleepwalking” Wolverines, 71-49.
The nine points left Bialecki with 986 for his career. His nine points came on three 3-pointers – one in each of the last three quarters – and moved him within four of breaking the school’s all-time record for 3s, currently held by Talia Battavio (186).
“We made it a point,” Payne said. “He was sitting at 977 and I told the guys we don’t let anybody get that 1,000th point on us, so they collectively took it upon themselves and said OK we’re going to have some pride. We’re playing at home, we’ve been up and down all year ,so today we’re going to have some pride and definitely stop him because he torched us last time.”
Bialecki went for 25 when the teams played right before Christmas. He needed almost that many Monday to reach the milestone, but was held to single digits for just the fifth time this season and the first time in six games.
“When you look at our games people have been scoring on us,” Payne continued. “The LEAP guy (Gabriel Shoultz) had 30. Last week, the guy from Camden County Tech (Charles Barbour) had like 25. So, we’ve got to take some pride on defense and not let anybody score on us and I think tonight we actually locked in and did that.”
Actually, they’ve had an opposing player go for at least 25 in three of their previous four games.
The assignment to keep Bialecki in check fell to Parker. The 6-foot-4 sophomore never let his man get more than arm’s length away and held him to 3-for-16 shooting.
“When I said we cannot let this guy go off on us, he said, ‘Coach, I got him,’” Payne said of Parker “That’s what I look for. I can assign any of you, but whoever’s comfortable and you don’t want to let your brothers down, you guard him. And then he said ‘I got him’ and we all trusted him.”
“They definitely played very good defense on me today,” Bialecki said. “They did a really good job. My shot was rushed, took away my confidence kind of.”
Meanwhile, the Bulldogs dictated the pace. Xavier Sabb led all scorers with 19 points. Parker had 16 and Will Boggans 10. Alejandro Vazquez was the only Woodstown scorer in double figures. He hit three 3s and finished with 14.
The Wolverines held a 14-12 lead at the end of the first quarter, then starting going the other way. They were outscored 13-5 in the second quarter and 46-30 in the second half. Sabb, Parker and Maurice Davis combined for 33 points in the second half.
“Sleepwalking,” Woodstown coach Ramon Roots said. “We were sleepwalking. They played tougher. They played stronger. That’s what it came down to. (His team) didn’t play tough tonight.”
Bialecki’s next shot at the milestone is Tuesday, when the Wolverines — and the banner — travel to Cherry Hill West. He’s not pushing it.
“I’m going to do whatever I can to help us win,” he said. “If that comes, it comes.”

SALEM 55, WILDWOOD 43: The Rams solidified their hold on the Tri-County Classic Division lead by completing their season sweep of the Warriors.
The game was tight throughout, but the Rams carried a four-point lead into the fourth quarter, never lost it and closed it out with six straight Tymear Lecator free throws in the final minute. Lecator was 8-for-8 from the line in the game — all in the fourth quarter — and finished with 28 points.
“I believe we’re starting to become a more disciplined team down the stretch,” Rams coach Anthony Farmer said. “That has helped us come out on the other side of some really tough games. I’m proud of my guys.”
The Rams, still No. 2 in the South Jersey Group I power points standings, are the only undefeated team in the Classic with three divisions games to play. They hold a two-game lead in the loss column over Wildwood, which has one division game left, and a three-game lead in the loss column over Clayton, which has three division games left.
3-point goals: Salem Tech 3 (Pompper, Myers, B. Kroll); Gateway 11 (Haase 5, Bink 2, Coryell 2, Langston, Forman). Rebounds: Salem Tech 23 (Cusch 8, Lewis 5, Myers 5); Gateway 36 (Runner 8, Cook 7).

Girls games: Special moment
PITTSGROVE — Schalick recognized its seniors Monday night and orchestrated a special moment for one of them.
Abby Willoughby hasn’t been able to play this basketball season while recovering from an injury during the soccer season, but the but the Cougars gave her a chance to score one more time in their 34-16 win over Cape May Tech.
It came right out of the gate. They positioned Willoughby under the basket, Ava Scurry directed the opening tip to Vicky Basich, who then passed to Willoughby for a layup.
“It was a special moment for her as I know she has missed being on the court,” Cougars coach John Whelan said. “Abby has been a big part of this program the last four years and she without a doubt earned this moment. I’m glad she was able to celebrate it with her teammates and family.”
After the bucket the Cougars subbed her out and allowed CMT to get the points back.
“Cape May Tech showed great sportsmanship and we truly appreciate their understanding,” Whelan said.
She played in 65 of 69 games over her first three years and wraps her high school career with 158 points, 242 rebounds and 138 steals.
The game was tight in the first half, but the Cougars (12-3) pulled away in the second for their seventh straight win. They outscored their visitors 22-5 in the second half.
Olivia Vanacker scored seven of her team-high nine points in the second half. Scurry had six of her eight and Cali Fisler five of her seven in the half.
3-point goals: Cape May Tech 2 (Oravitss 2); Schalick 1 (Vanacker). Total foul: Cape May Tech 11, Schalick 5.
MILLVILLE 46, WOODSTOWN 39: The Wolverines had everything going on early, jumping out to a 10-2 lead, then the game completely changed. Millville’s Naomi Burkhart scored a game-high 20 points. Lauren Hengel and Kendall Young led Woodstown with 10 points each.
OVERBROOK 54, SALEM TECH 37: Gianna Simon had 23 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Rams. She also had five assists and four steals.

Woodstown 4×800 relay finishes seventh at Millrose Games, runs sub-8:00, were first and fourth at various stages of the race
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
NEW YORK — It wasn’t quite the placing they were shooting for, but you’ll get no argument from Woodstown’s boys 4×800 relay team over the time they posted.
The Wolverines turned in Salem County’s best indoor time ever in the event and finished seventh in the 13-team Peter Diamond 4×800 at the 118th Millrose Games in The Armory in Washington Heights this afternoon.
Running under the banner of Woodstown TC, the team of Karson Chew, Jacob Marino, David Farrell and Josh Crawford ran a 7:55.62. They had hoped to finish fifth. Union Catholic won the race in 7:37.96, a facility and meet record and a second and a half off the national high school record.
“None of us were upset, none at all,” Crawford said. “We’re all happy for one another. Each one of us did our jobs, ran great legs. We dropped five seconds from our school record. A 7:55 is nothing to fret over. We’re all really happy with it.”
“Honestly, it couldn’t get better than that for us,” added Chew. “It just showed how well we can stick with the bigger competition and those big, huge school teams that are just bringing powerhouses every year.
“The target was fifth or better, but the fact we ran 7:55 I think that kind of counteracts it, like, OK we got seventh, but we ran a pretty damned good time.”
The Wolverines led the race three times in the first 600 meters of Chew’s opening leg and were second behind IMG Elite after he pulled in at 1:56.42, his fastest relay split ever. Marino ran 2:01.39 in the second leg, but they were in sixth at the exchange and were eighth after Farrell’s leg (2:03.40).
“I ended up opening a little flow,” Chew said. “I got out in front, which is definitely what needed to happen; I needed to solidify the position up front for a little bit to be able to hold my position.
“I knew going into it I had the ability to beat every single person on that track, given the day, given the time. I went into it knowing I was just as nervous as everybody else on that track and I was just as adrenaline high as everybody else on that track. I took the lead like I wanted to and tried to hold it the best I could until IMG took over towards the end.”
Crawford ran a 1:54.42 anchor leg and got all the way back to fourth with 200 meters to go, then his body started to rebel down the stretch and he began losing track position. His split was a half-second faster than his open 800 indoor PR, run in the Dr. Sander Scorcher here last week.
“My coach going into this told me that sometimes I have to take risks and this is the stage to take those type of risks,” Crawford said. “Taking the baton I saw I was in eighth, but I knew I could get up to fourth or whatever it was, but I just think I did it a little bit too quick.
“I ran 25 my first lap, 27 my second lap and for a 400 split that’s a 52; that’s what the pros are running. I got a little ahead of myself and tried to run what the pros were running just so I could catch up to that (lead) group of kids, which ended up nipping me in the butt the last 50 meters.
“I got ahead until the back straightaway and the lactic acid just built up. I was ahead and then I just started dropping places. I just locked up. It’s really only like a hundred-meter improvement that I’ve got to do and when I find that endurance that I need I think I’ll definitely be able to run some great times.”

SALEM – In a battle of the two up-and-coming girls basketball teams in Salem County, the one with the most experience prevailed.
With the number of quality young players in prominent roles for both teams, Salem and Schalick appear to be the next big thing on the county girls basketball scene.
Schalick has more veterans sharing the floor with its rising stars and the Cougars used that mix to their advantage Thursday in turning back the Rams for their fifth straight win, 37-33.
“In tight games like this it comes down to experience,” Schalick coach John Whelan said. “Experience and confidence. That’s the two main thing we relied on tonight.
“We have our five starters who were all here last year. Our bench consists of very young players new to the program so they’re getting their experience at both the JV and varsity level. (Against) Paulsboro, we were forced to call on some them and they came up big. In this moment today, we just relied on our starters, so it kind of flip flops back and forth based on the game and how the game’s going.”
Usually, the Cougars (10-3) are driven by the play of sophomores Nevaeh Robinson and Willow Davis, but Salem did a good job of bottling them up, so they turned to senior starters Ava Scurry and Cali Fisler to see them through.
The Rams (6-7) held Robinson and Davis to a combined 15 points. Scurry scored only six points, but she was a force inside, grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking six shots. Fisler scored 10 points, her season high.
“Ava all season has been our anchor defensively, for sure,” Whelan said. “Offensively, she helped us out today early. We kind of spread the love around with the points today, as good basketball teams can.”
The Rams’ fortunes, meanwhile, run through Dyaira Anderson and juniors Maddie Dixon and Carlysia Pierce. Dixon scored only three points, but she does so much more. Anderson had 10 points, eight in the fourth quarter. Pierce was their leading scorer with 11 points.
While some on their roster have varsity experience, they’re all learning to play a different way under coach Kemp Carr.
“We played so hard, I’m proud to be these girls’ coach,” Carr said. “I’m just super proud of the identity (they’re forming) and how we are getting better. You can see it in spurts, we just need to put a 32-minute game together that we haven’t done yet.“But where they are from the beginning of the year to now … those things are happening, so eventually your experience will start catching up with those things . I think the future’s very bright for this program.”
“The future for both these programs is bright,” Whelan concurred.
Salem broke out a new defense for the first time – a 1-3-1 zone – in hope of handling Robinson and Davis and Carr thought it was “pretty efficient.”
They first rolled it out right after scoring their first points of the game midway through the first quarter. Scurry got behind it to score right away, but after that the Rams held to Cougars to one point and forced seven turnovers the rest of the quarter to grab a 9-7 lead.
Robinson finally got loose in the second half. She scored eight of her 10 points after halftime, with six of those coming on two 3-pointers in the fourth quarter that kept giving the Cougars separation.
“You have to hand it to Salem,” Whelan said. “They fought to the very end. They never gave in. They gave us a really good basketball game. Our girls, they withstood all the pressure. Salem was relentless. We handled that pretty well.”
3-point goals: Schalick 3 (Robinson 2, Davis); Salem 1 (Dixon). Rebounds: Schalick 26 (Scurry 10, Robinson 6); Salem 32 (Anderson 10, Dixon 8, Pierce 6). Total fouls: Schalick 11, Salem 10. Officials: Bock, Heard, Fowlkes.

PENNSVILLE 64, SALEM TECH 20: Sophomore Addie Johnston led all scorers with 16 points and Marley Wood filled the box score with six points, six rebounds and 10 assists as the Eagles completed a sweep of their first wave through the other five Salem County teams. Taylor Bass contributed 12 points and eight assists to the win. Izzy Saulin had 10 points and seven boards. Shelby Drummond led the Chargers with 13 points.
WOODSTOWN 65, CLAYTON 52: The Wolverines jumped out to a big lead, let the Clippers back into it at halftime, then steadily pulled away in the second half. Kendall Young and Emma Perry led four Woodstown scorers in double figures with career-highs 19 and 18, respectively. Lauren Hengel and Kyia Leyman added 12 points apiece.
Young also had six rebounds, four assists and six steals. Hengel had nine rebounds and three steals. Leyman blocked six shots. Talia Guardascione had six rebounds, five assists and five steals.
PENNSVILLE 43, SALEM TECH 40: The Eagles have their first winning streak of the season as they won their second straight behind 16 points from Mason O’Brien and a team 14-of-16 from the free throw line. Danny Knight and Jake Layfield added 10 points apiece. It’s the first time Pennsville has won back to back games since Jan. 29-30, 2024.

Woodstown wins two individual events and a relay at Dr. Sander Scorcher, go 1-2 in boys high school 800
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
NEW YORK – The Woodstown track team had another big night in the Big Apple.
The Wolverines won three events and got another athlete qualified for the New Balance Indoor Nationals during the Dr. Sander Scorcher at The Armory in Washington Heights Friday.
Josh Crawford won the boys high school 800 in a 1-2 finish with teammate Karson Chew, they both ran legs on the winning 4×800 relay and Kami Casiano won the girls high school high jump.
“Tonight’s meet was awesome,” Chew said. “We all had a great meet and a great day at The Armory. We’re super excited for the Millrose Games.”
The Wolverines’ 4×800 relay team returns here Feb. 1 for the Millrose.
Crawford won the 800 in 1:54.94 that was the fourth best time in New Jersey this year and 33rd best nationally. Chew was right on his heels, coming in second at 1:55.85 – a U.S. top 50 and N.J. top 10 time – to qualify for the New Balance Nationals.
Crawford went to the front early and Chew came from the outside to quickly pull alongside and they ran out front the rest of the race.
“Being able to PR by three seconds and go 1-2 with Josh is amazing,” Chew said.
Casiano won the high school girls high jump at 5-2, which is the 20th best jump in New Jersey this year.
The boys 4×8 win may have been the most surprising, not because the group wasn’t capable — they won on this track at the Millrose Games Trials — but because the circumstances leading up to it..
They ran 8:08.55 on literally their last legs from a day’s worth of competition and slightly shuffling of the deck.
Jacob Marino led them out with a 2:05 split. David Farrell kept them out front with a PR 2:03. Chew followed with a 2:01 and Crawford brought it home in 1:58.
“The 4×8 wasn’t our prettiest and the only person who really ran well was David,” Chew said. “He put us in the lead of the race by a lot.
“Because we were tired from the 800 we decided to experiment and give me some rest time. Jacob was already tired from his big mile PR beforehand, but he still kept us in the race in second where David took it and through the third lap pulled away to give us first place.”
“They showed grit when most of us weren’t running on fresh legs,” Crawford said.
Aidan Taulane had the best finish among Woodstown’s non-winners. He was a solid fifth in the boys high school shot put (44-1). He missed fourth place by 1.75 inches. The boys 4×200 relay team finished seventh (1:35.01).Lia Covely just missed a top 10 finish in the girls 55 hurdles (9.58).

Woodstown boys edge Glassboro for first state indoor relays title, clinch it in final event of night
By Al Muskewitz Riverview Sports News
TOMS RIVER — The Woodstown boys set their lineups to grab the most points possible and it all came down to the last race of the night.
A first- or second-place finish in the 4×400 would wrestle away the Wolverines’ first NJSIAA Indoor Relays state title from rival Glassboro. Running on what had to be dead legs at the end of a long night, all they did was win the race vy 1.4 seconds to give them 38 team points and edge the Bulldogs (who placed sixth) by three for their first NJSIAA indoor title since the 2016 sectionals.
The Wolverines won three races at the Bubble: 4×400 (3:28.27), 4×800 (8:09.20) and the sprint medley (3:38.34). They were second to Glassboro in the distance medley.
“I’m so so happy we won,” said Karson Chew, who ran the second leg of the 4×4 and the leadoff leg in the 4×8. “We’ve been working so hard up to this moment and it’s such a great boost of confidence and momentum for us going into late season. We all went into the meet knowing what we had to do to get the win and executed perfectly.”
One of the key decisions of the night was substituting 800 specialist Josh Crawford into that leg of the sprint medley and they won that race by nearly seven seconds over Audubon. Glassboro was third, some 10 seconds off the pace. Kyle Reitz, Anthony Costello and Ben Lippincott ran the other legs of the race.
“We knew our main competition tonight was Glassboro,” Crawford said. “We respect their team. We knew we had to get as many points as possible, so we made some last-minute changes.”
That win set the stage for the 4×400 drama. Reitz led it off, followed by Chew, Costello and Crawford. Chew, Jacob Marino, David Farrell and Crawford ran the 4×800.
“We did what we do, as a team, so well,” Crawford said. “We listen to our coaches. We talked to each other and strategize about our strengths and how we are each feeling about what we have left in the tank to put the right person in each position. We trust each other and we know that we will all leave everything we have on the track.”
Schalick’s boys finished tied for tenth with eight pole vault points. Salvatore Longo finished second individually in the event.
Penns Grove and Salem also were in that T-10. The Red Devils were 3-4 in the shot put. The Rams were third in the 4×800 and sixth in the shuttle hurdles.
Pennsville’s girls were ninth. Kallie Morrison had the Eagles’ best individual finish, second in the high jump.
