Scrimmage against Bordentown High School. PHS-56; BHS-41

On Tuesday, December 16, Princeton High School matched their pre-season mark from last year by improving their record to 4-0. They beat Bordentown Regional High School by 15 points.

PHS came out with more energy than their opponents despite the tediously long bus ride through the freezing rain. From the tip off, PHS looked more lively than Bordentown, and it showed on the court.

PHS led after the 1st half 29-15, with every member of the team contributing positively. PHS looked more focused, and more fit than Bordentown. A majority of PHS's points were scored off fast breaks, when they were able to exploit the porous transition defense that Bordentown through out.

In the second half, it looked as though Bordentown had something to prove. The second half was neck and neck for the full sixteen minutes. However, PHS prevailed 27-26. The final score read 56-41.

Skye Ettin led the scoring with 23 points, followed by 19 points and 11 rebounds from DeQuan Holman, and 13 points and 11 assists from Brian Dunlap.

Pre-season for the PHS Little Tigers is now over. So as they try to continue their winning ways, they will take on Lawrence High School this Friday in their home opener and first game of the 2008-09 season.
