#1 Bloomfield Tech Flexes Its Muscle

Bloomfield Tech proved worthy of their #1 ranking in New Jersey after storming past Trenton Central 76-46 in the opening game of the Primetime Shootout. Dasean Butler led the winners with 28 points and 11 rebounds.







 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dante Rollins also got in on the act by scoring 16 points including 2 treys. Justin Johnson scored 8 points and grabbed 8 boards for the Tornadoes in the loss.

Spotlight Players

Dasean Butler 67 Sr. Forward (Bloomfield Tech)- Butler was virtually unstoppable! When Casiem Drummond got in 1st quarter foul trouble Butler once again put the Spartans on his back. He displayed college level post moves and the ability to draw contact on any given play. He played like the #1 player in the state today.

Dante Rollins 62 Sr. Guard (Bloomfield Tech)- Rollins scored within the offense and in the open floor. He can stick the open jumper and has some sneaky athleticism in transition.

Justin Johnson 67 Sr. Forward (Trenton Central)- The seldom-used Johnson has shown some aggressive strides. He was a distraction on defense (4 blocks) and finished with authority in the post.

Spears Carries Blair
Boston College bound Shamari Spears scored 28 points and snatched 14 rebounds as Blair Academy defeated Paterson Catholic 71-63 in the second game of the Primetime Shootout. Kimmani Barrett scored 26 points and Nicodemus Eaton connected on 20 markers including 6 treys for PC in the loss.

Spotlight Players

Shamari Spears 66 Sr. Forward (Blair Academy)- Spears hit the boards with a purpose and capitalized on the miniature Cougar frontline. All his buckets came from high percentage range usually inside the paint. He also showed above the rim play with multiple hard stuffs.

Kimmani Barrett 66 Sr. Forward (Paterson Catholic)- Barrett tried to carry the Cougars as usual but didnt have enough in the tank to get it done. The talented forward played the point position for most of the game because of the absence of Jordan Theodore.

St. Benedicts Soars Past Eastern Commerce (Canada)
St. Benedicts placed four players in double figures (Samardo Samuels 18, David Cubillian 17 (5 Treys), Lance Thomas 15 and Corey Stokes 10) as they blew away Eastern Commerce of Canada 85-61 in the third game of the Primetime Shootout. Learie Duncan led the Canadian team with 18 points in defeat.

Spotlight Players

David Cubillian 61 Sr. Guard (St. Benedicts Prep)- Cubillian has to be the hottest shooter in the region right now. He takes full advantage of teams that try and zone the powerful Newark squad. If his hot streak continues Oak Hill could be in trouble Saturday.

Lance Thomas 68 Sr. Forward (St. Benedicts Prep)- Thomas played inspired ball from the opening tip. He ran the floor like a deer and made his presence felt on the glass. This was one of his best offensive showings of the season.

Learie Duncan 61 Sr. Guard (Eastern Commerce)- Duncan was the lone bright spot for the Canadian ballers. He wasnt fazed by the Gray Bees defensive pressure and was able to produce offensively in the lane.
