GMC Represented in Rahway Tourney for 1st Time in Five Years

RAHWAY, NJ–Earlier this week, GMC Hoops learned that the GMC is returning to Rahway holiday tournament action in 2019. Adding Perth Amboy, the 2019 “Butch” Kowal Holiday Tourney schedule will have a Greater Middlesex Conference team on it for the first time since Colonia in 2014.

Five years ago, Colonia lost to Union in the 2014 Championship. Overcoming the loss, the Pats rebounded to eventually capture both the 2015 GMCT, and North Jersey Section 2 Group 3 Championships. Looking at the tourney field, Perth Amboy is the lone GMC representative while A.L. Johnson, Rahway, and Westfield are from the Union County Conference.

All games will be played at Rahway High School. The tournament will be played on Friday, December 27th and Sunday, December 28th. Below is the 2019 “Butch” Kowal Holiday Tourney Schedule:

John “Butch” Kowal Tournament–First Round–December 27, 2019

  • Westfield vs. A.L. Johnson, 6:00 PM
  • Perth Amboy vs. Rahway, 7:30 PM

John “Butch” Kowal Tournament–Final Found–December 29, 2019

  • Consolation: Westfield-A.L. Johnson loser vs. Perth Amboy-Rahway loser, 6:00 PM
  • Championship: Westfield-A.L. Johnson winner vs. Perth Amboy-Rahway winner, 7:30 PM

GMC Hoops plans to cover at least one of the games involving Perth Amboy in this tournament.
