After trailing by 8 points at intermission (24-16) Seton Hall Prep came back to beat Immaculata 63-47 and advance to the Parochial A Finals Saturday against CBA at the Ritacco Center in Toms River. Ashton Gibbs led the Pirates with 19 points with teammates Mike Owczarek and Gary Wallace helped the cause by splitting 23 markers. Will Manhart scored 13 points for Immaculata in the loss.





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

   

 

Spotlight Players

Ashton Gibbs 6’2 So. Guard (Seton Hall Prep)-
Gibbs couldn’t find the mark from the perimeter early on so he attacked the basket and earned his points from lay ups and free throws (8). The cool and calm sophomore has quietly led his team back to the title game amidst the doubters. He needs one more big performance to bring the trophy back home.

Gerald Wallace 6’2 Jr. Guard (Seton Hall Prep)- Wallace calmed the Pirates while the young phenom (Gibbs) found his range. He ran the offense efficiently in the second half and converted some tough baskets in transition. He has little flair in his game but enough substance to get the job done.

Will Manhart 6’2 Jr. Guard (Immaculata)- The Spartans made it interesting early behind the hot hand of Manhart. He scored well in the offense and showed the ability to stroke it from the perimeter. He ran out of gas during the final period.

Final Word “Championship Patience”
Immaculata seemed to have the Pirates on the ropes at the half but Seton Hall didn’t panic. Instead the Pirates adjusted on offense as their defense begun to wear Immaculata down. When Gibbs and company took their first lead they smelled blood they attacked and laid the opposition to rest.
