UNION, NJ–In the nightcap of the first day of action from the SFIC Festival at Kean University, Cardinal McCarrick had a tough task ahead of it as it took on last year’s Non-Public B North runner-up Hudson Catholic. However, for a quarter, the Eagles took it to the Hudson County squad as they connected on four threes including two by Sky Harris, one by Jaquantee Madden, and another by Aaron Lewis to grab a 16-12 lead. In the second though, the Hawks took over with a 28-5 surge for a 40-21 lead at the half, and never relinquished control as they lead by as many as 35 points on a couple of occasions in the fourth quarter en route to an 82-49 victory. Madden ended up with a team high 24 points while Harris added 14, and Lewis chipped in with 11. The Eagles only had three players score in the game. Below are game notes from the contest.
