Here are highlights from the action in the Garden State Athletic Conference clash between Brookdale Community College and Middlesex County College from the start of the third week of the college hoops season.
GMC Hoops traveled down to Brookdale Community College for the second straight week to see the Jersey Blues in action against Middlesex County College in a Garden State Athletic Conference match-up.
Early on, the Blue Colts were able to take a 20-16 lead on the hot shooting of sophomore guard, and former Sayreville standout, Mike Valentin. However, after trailing 27-25 in a back and forth first half, Brookdale, led by former Cardinal McCarrick and J.P. Stevens standout, Sky Harris, James Wright, and Zach Olukanny, ended the half on a 19-8 tear, and opened the second half on a 15-10 run for a 59-45 lead.
From there, Middlesex could only managed to get as close as nine points the rest of the way as the Jersey Blues went on to win, 86-69. Former Piscataway standout, Marinus Tavernier was a bright spot in defeat for Middlesex.
