Lewis leads with 21 points in yet another UCC-Watchung Division thriller
There are numerous ways to describe the intense, unpredictable action this season in the Union County Conference-Watching Division, but it was perhaps best summed up by a non-Watchung UCC athletic director this past week at a game.Yes they are, as evidenced by the activity just in the past several days, and we who watch it are the lucky ones feasting on these intra-divisional meals.
“This Watchung Division, I think it’s the best in the state. We’ve got four, we got four teams ranked in the Top 20, so, I mean, it’s a great conference to be in," Grant said. That same day, Watchung Division bottom dweller Union sent further shockwaves through this treacherous landscape with a 56-50 stunner over No. 8 Union Catholic.
For Roselle Catholic to spin this triumph, it would have to find a way to control - or at least significantly slow - either 6-0 sophomore point guard Micah Gordon and 6-10 senior center NaJai Hines. Gordon finished with 20 points, with 10 coming in the fourth quarter, when Plainfield was unable to cut its deficit by fewer than five points. Hines closed with 13 points, 25 rebounds and four blocks, but was held without a point in the first half as RC forged a 35-34 lead.
