The New Providence Pioneers saw their bid for a three-peat fall short at the hands of top-seeded Whippany Park.
Top-seeded Whippany Park (24-5) rode a 22-5 second half run en route to a 49-44 victory over New Providence (16-11) in the North 2, Group 1 championship game.

In a battle of 1-0 Union County Conference-Mountain Division squads, Cranford came back from a one-point halftime deficit to top visiting New Providence 44-35 at Cranford High School’s Martin Gymnasium. New Providence, with three returning starters and two budding first-year performers among its top five, is the defending Mountain Division champion. Cranford, with all five starters back, is out to …

Dear NP native, Basketball Fan, Basketball Lover and every other anonymous poster on this forum. I guess I can be open and honest now that I don't have to worry about repercussions from my statements. As a parent of a 4 year varsity player, 2 year starter (and yes a 2 year bench sitter), I couldn't be more proud of the girls team and Coach Pazdera. It's very easy to sit up in the stands and … more ›
