Parents and players braved the driving rain and wind this past weekend, and the dedication paid off, as the New Jersey Hawks basketball team defeated Montgomery 23-20 to earn the bronze medal in the state tournament held at Lawrenceville School in Lawrenceville.  

The two-day event featured teams from all over the state. The Hawks, coached by Bob McAuliffe and Tom Wisniewski, have a number of Cranford players on their roster, who were proud to bring home the bronze to their home town.
