East Boys the Lone Winner in Tough Night on the Hardwood

Cherry Hill East's Hank Davis and Andrew Brown were a scoring force on the night, combining for 35 points, as the Cougars used a monster first half to notch a 64-45 win over Seneca Tuesday.

The Cougars jumped out to a 23-9 lead after the first and outscored Seneca in every quarter, getting key contributions from Austin Wetzler (10 points) and Gary Hettinger (nine points).

Davis and Wetzler each sank a pair of three-pointers in the win.

Bishop Eustace 46, Camden Catholic 44
With time ticking away at the end of the third quarter, Bishop Eustace guard Mike Cohen heaved a shot three-quarters of the way down the court—and swished it.

Cohen's improbable trey, his only points of the night, pushed the Crusaders up six heading into the fourth, and was all the padding they'd need in a 46-44 victory at Camden Catholic Tuesday night.

Despite 15 points—and a shot with time expiring to try to tie it—from Kyle Green, the Irish couldn't get many shots to fall. They fell behind 10-0 to start and didn't score until the 5:30 mark in the first quarter, and led only briefly in the second quarter.

West's Rodney Williams was a one-man scoring machine, dropping 21 points to lead all scorers, but Shawnee had four players go in double figures, including Josh Borrelli, who scored his 1,000th career point.

West's Will Plenty chipped in nine and Mike Faust had eight in the loss.

Libby Dougherty was the lone bright spot in a tough night for the Lions, as she scored 16 points in a lopsided home loss to Shawnee. Sasha Williams added seven points for West.

Seneca 68, Cherry Hill East 36
East freshman Yamalis Villegas topped all scorers with 19 points, but the Cougars were no match for a high-powered Seneca offense that built a 40-22 halftime lead on the way to the win.

Zoe Schlessel added six points, and Kendall Boardman scored five for East.

Bishop Eustace 64, Camden Catholic 53
Bishop Eustace's Taylor Hudspeth (30 points) and Camden Catholic's Cara Rocadalbo (22 points) provided plenty of fireworks, but it was the Crusaders' supporting cast that proved the difference Tuesday night.

Natalie Alleva, who scored 14, and Erin Dewechter, who scored 10, helped push Eustace, which built a five-point lead at halftime, over the top.

Camden Catholic got 15 from Sierra Taylor and nine from Michelle Obasi, but were outscored in three quarters in the loss.
