Colonia head coach Jose Rodriguez
No one on the Colonia side was thrilled with their first half against Edison Thursday night.
No disrespect to the Eagles, but it would be safe to say the No. 6 Patriots felt they should have been ahead of Edison by more than one at the half, leading 29-28..
But thanks in part to Saivon Pressley, Colonia came alive after the break. Pressley pumped in 11 of his team-high 17 points in the final two quarters, to power Colonia (5-1) to a 68-53 victory over Edison (3-4) heard on Central Jersey Sports Radio, powered by Bellamy & Son Paving.
The victory puts the Patriots back in the win column after their first loss of the season two nights ago at Marlboro.
