We close out the month with some tremendous action from all over the state!
Trenton 62 Ewing 54 | Boys
No. 17 Trenton (19-1) defeated rival No. 19 Ewing (17-2) in Mercer County’s most anticipated Boys Basketball match up of the season. Trenton led 11-2 early in the first before a surge from Ewing’s Kenny Rankin tied the game at 16-16 to end the first quarter. Trenton would jump back ahead entering halftime and pushed the lead to as many 13 in the fourth quarter as both Davontay Hutson and Antwan Bridgett finished with 14 points to hand the Blue Devils just their second loss.
