On a scale of 10, the Cardinals played an 8.0. Roselle Catholic’s Jameel Warney carried the Lions on his back as far as he could but the relentless Cardinal hunted down the Lion until he was tired to pull out the victory. The hot shooting of Nate Grant-Dewitt helped overcome one of the best zone defensive efforts against the Cardinals this year.
The most disappointing period for the Cardinals was the 2nd. The Cardinals looked a step slower during this period. Roselle Park out rebounded, committed less turnovers, made 60% of their points from the field, shot 9 - 10 from the free throw line, and finished off the 2nd period with a 12 – 0 run.
The most impressive period for the Cardinals was the 1st. Nate Grant-Dewitt bka Dr. Zone Buster was at it again knocking down 2 three pointers in as many attempts. The scoring was balance with 6 different players putting points on the board. Plainfield finished off the 1st period going on a 17 – 4 run.
The Plainfield Fanatic Efficient 5 for the game
1) Roselle Catholic– Sophomore Jameel Warney – 6’6” {ER – 36}
Warney is one of 3 Plainfield basketball studs that have earned Star Ledger Basketball Outstanding Performer of the week (others are Miles Davis of St. Peters Prep, and Tyrone Johnson). Warney’s outstanding performance also tied a season high efficiency rating (Tyrone Johnson). Warney showed why he earned that honor. Jameel scored a game high 24 points on 64% shooting and hitting 75% of his free throws. He earned a double-double by grabbing a game high 12 rebounds. Warney also had 2 steals, 2 rejections and 2 assists to take Plainfield to the brink of elimination.
2) Roselle Catholic – Senior Steve Morgan – 5’9” {ER – 16}
Morgan was in charge of getting the ball to Warney. Warney dropped a game high 4 assists but what was more astounding was the 5’9” Morgan was second in rebounds for both teams with 8 boards. His game was efficient as he hit his only shot below the arc and shot 4 – 4 from the free throw line.
3) Plainfield – Senior Nate Grant-Dewitt – 6’4” {ER – 15}
Dr. Zone Buster was on duty. Luckily for the Cardinals he waived the co-pay as Nate knocked down 4 three pointers to counter the pack it down low zone strategy of the Lions. Nate shot 50 % from below the arc and 50% from beyond the three to lead the Cardinal scoring with 14 points.
4) Plainfield – Junior Allen Brown – 6’0” {ER – 15}
Mr. Split personality and master of names, Allen Brown showed his game when it was most needed by the Cardinals. Down Town Allen Brown knocked down 50% of his three’s to assist Mr. Zone Buster (Nate and Brown combined for 6 three pointers) from deep. Allen then changed into Lock Down Brown garnishing 3 steals (the back court of Price (7 steals) and Brown totaled 10 steals). Brown also shot 100% from below the arc.
5) Plainfield – Sophomore Justin Sears – 6’7” {ER – 14}
The young big man of the Cardinals will not have any days off this year. Sears went against arguably one of the best big men in the County. Although Roselle Catholic’s big man was the player of the game, Justin helped the Cardinals pull out the victory with his team high 5 rebounds, and game high 3 rejections.
The efficiency rating is base on points scored, shooting accuracy, foul shooting accuracy, rebounds, assists, steals, defensive intensity, and assist – turnover ratio.
