Congratulations Dave Troiano
Wildwood beat Pennsville 58-36 tonight, giving Troiano the SJ record for career girls' basketball victories all by himself, at 504. The record used to belong to Sterling's Bill Ulrich, who has more than 600 career wins spread over the Knights' boys' and girls' programs.
I was impressed with the Warriors in the second half, and Troiano made all the adjustments he needed to make. Pennsville is a hard-working, earnest team, but outgunned today. They do move the bal pretty well in the half-court set, and Coach Norman Dale would have been a fan of them; I counted 15 passes before they shot on one particular possession.
Other stuff that went down tonight: Williamstown consolidated its Trico Royal supremacy with a win over Cumberland... Penns Grove created more havoc in the Trico Classic with a win over Salem, as did Gloucester by beating Pitman. Looks like Glassboro is back to being the favorite there... Pleasantville took out Mainland. Those girls must be playing a hell of a lot better than they did when I saw them in a blowout loss at Ocean City. Now they just have to make the playoffs... West Deptford won its second straight game (had to give some props to my childhood hometown)... CH East and Washington Township stayed neck and neck in the Oly American. Looks like that's coming down to their second meeting of the year, winner take all... Haddonfield staved off a third straight loss, storming back tobeat Sterling on overtime. The Silver Knights continue to be a hard-luck squad... West Tech won its ninth game of the year, moving to within a win of the playoffs with almost three weks left to the cutoff... Holy Cross clouded the Burlco Patriot with an overtime win over Delran...
One troubling thing that I have yet to follow up on: the score sheet for the Wilson-Eustace game shows only "hurt" next to Ashley Baker's name. I'm almost positive she was fine after the Spirit game, so I'm wondering what might have happened. If it happened today, it was early in the game because she did not score.
I'll be in the office tomorrow chasing down various things and working on the stuff for this weeked, i.e. Player of the Week, notebook, cover story, stats and standings, etc. I'll be back out ther on Thursday, however, for Salem at Pitman. With both teams coming off losses, there should be a sense of urgency in the gym, at the very least. See you there.
