Bayonne vs American History
Ben Gamble is starting to put his stamp on the Bees program and they’re turning the corner as a potential power player in Hudson County. Two of his top players this year are 6’0″ sophomore Patrick Sagna, a guard who’s turned it on of late and 6’3″ junior Mike Cunningham, a force on the boards who had a double-double(13&10) in the win over Hudson Catholic.

. Clark is within punching distance of 1,000 points. He averages 21&17 as one of the more interesting senior prospects that hasn’t gotten much love.
Scotch Plains vs New Providence
Another interesting matchup in North Jersey as the Raiders, led by senior guard Matt Nervi and multi sport athlete Khadar Jackson, a high scoring forward, take on an always pesky New Prov team. Art Cattano’s team started strong but hit a rough patch. A win over Scotch Plains would go a long way for confidence as the post season approaches. Junior forward Corey Rust and senior center Matt Smith have done the heavy lifting thusfar for New Prov.
