TRENTON, NJ–On Tuesday, GMC Hoops received word from Prime Time Shootout organizer, Jeff Hewitson, that Plainfield and Piscataway will go at it in the 2009 Prime Time Shootout. The two teams will battle each other on the first night of action tentatively scheduled for January 23, 2009 at the Rutgers Athletic Center in Piscataway. The game will be the nightcap game on that day played at 9:30 PM. Meanwhile, St. Joseph’s will also be in action on that day when they opener things up against Immaculata of Somerville at 5:00 PM. Take a look at the complete schedule.
The game between Piscataway and Plainfield had been talked about for the past few months. Originally proposed by former Plainfield coach, Pete Vasil, the idea got its legs during the Spring. GMC Hoops discussed the proposed idea around the time that Jeff Lubreski took the head coaching job at Plainfield High School on July 15th. Although this is still tentative, it’s nice to see that the game is being set up. It will be really nice for basketball in the Central Jersey area if this game does come to full fruition. The site will try to keep updated on the status of this game, and keep you informed.
