GMC Hoops Highlights–March 6, 2015–#9 So. River vs. #1 Perth Amboy Tech–CJ Group I Quarterfinals

Here are old school highlights from the action in the 2015 Central Jersey Group I Quarterfinal matchup between 9th seeded South River and top seeded Perth Amboy Tech. For the third time this season, these two Gold Division rivals went at it.

Early on, South River appeared to be primed for an upset by scoring the first four points, and limiting Amboy Tech to no field goals over the first half of the opening quarter.

However, the Patriots took control by scoring 15 of 17 points, and then the first four points of the 2nd period to take a 19-9 lead. Pedro Gonzalez then took over by hitting 4 threes and ended up with 16 first half points to help the Pats take a 35-17 lead at the break.

In the second half, Jordan Little took over by scoring 13 of his game high 19 points while grabbing every rebound in sight. As a result, Amboy Tech led 59-31 with less than 3 minutes to go, and went on to win 64-43 despite a late 12-1 run by the Rams. Gonzalez, who had a coming out party in this one, ended up with 18 points while Sean Darrar led South River with 14 and Zach Torres chipped in with 10 in defeat.
