Defeats North Section I Group III Champion, Teaneck On Camp’s Final Day
PISCATAWAY, NJ–On Monday afternoon, GMC Hoops received word from Piscataway Tech assistant coach, Galen Smith, that the Raiders finished the Rutgers Team Camp with a solid win on Sunday over Teaneck.
The Highwaymen, which won the North Jersey Section 1 Group III Championship this past season before losing to Plainfield in the Group III state semifinals this past season, had just come off a finals appearance in the Hoop Group Summer Showcase after defeating Gill-St. Bernard’s in the semis. Teaneck would lose to St. Benedict’s Prep in the Championship game of the event.
The Raiders fought Teaneck tooth and nail for three overtimes before coming away with the victory. Piscataway Tech has some new faces on the roster this summer to supplement returning standouts in Turell McClendon, Galen Smith, Khairi Mosely, and Tafari Kerr. P-Way Tech is coming off a season where it won its first Gold Division title since winning back to back titles in 2003 and 2004.
Piscataway Tech is looking to build on last season’s successes that included a Round 16 berth in the GMCT with serious runs in both the Group I State Tournament and the GMCT.
