Cranford Boys Hoops Defeats Summit 58-44

The Cranford boys basketball team took care of business on its home floor with a 58-44 win over Summit on Friday night. The Cougars went wire-to-wire in this one, never trailing against the visiting Hilltoppers.

Cranford was led in scoring by forward Kurt Rutmayer who tallied 19 points to go along with four rebounds. Reggie Green finished with a double-double, scoring 11 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.

Summit found themselves on the cusp of making it close several times in the third quarter but could only cut the Cougars' lead down to eight on several occasions. They were led in scoring by Ba'Shawn Mickens who finished the game with 20. Ryan Sweeney scored 14 points and connected four times from beyond the arch.

Cranford's defense did a solid job of containing Mickens with Chirs Wilis, Tommy Trotter and Sean Babos all taking turns defending the scorer. The team also did a great job moving the ball on offense as they totaled 13 assists. Babos accounted for five of them and did a great job leading the way for the Cranford offense.

Next up for the Cougars is a Tuesday afternoon home matchup against St. Mary's. Summit tries to make their way back into the win column on Tuesday when they host Rahway.
