Camden Catholic Boys Advance, Girls Out of Basketball Playoffs

Kyle Green put together a 15-point second-half effort, and the Camden Catholic boys pulled away from Monsignor Donovan as Green poured it on, in a 46-30 victory in the first round of the South Jersey, Non-Public A tournament Tuesday night.

Green scored just three points in the first half, during which the entire Irish squad struggled, putting together just a two-point lead at halftime over No. 12 Donovan.

It was all Catholic in the second half, though, as the Irish turned that two-point halftime advantage into eight by the end of the third, then cruised through the fourth quarter to win going away.

Camden Catholic’s Rob Brosh scored 10 points for the Irish, and Mike Harder added five points and eight rebounds in the win.

Monsignor Donovan had just two players score on the night.

The No. 5 Irish advance to play at county rival and No. 4 seed Paul VI Thursday.
