Mergin Sina has seen a lot of things, but even he knows this is an atypical year for Gill St. Bernard’s boys’ basketball.
And his team has only played one game.
With a big roster overhaul from last year, and starting point guard Dorsett Mulachy unavailable due to a back injury – Sina knows from that – his young and inexperienced team committed 24 “unforced” turnovers against Hillsborough Thursday night in its season opener.
And that led to a 49-48 loss that put the Raiders in the hunt in the Skyland Delaware Division, and the Knights on edge.
But that game is in the past, and after a rare full weekend off from game action – where Sina would normally have his team at a showcase – the sixth-ranked Knights (0-1) come back to entertain No. 8 Franklin (1-1) up in Peapack Tuesday night.
It’s a game you can hear on Central Jersey Sports Radio, with Mike Pavlichko and Chris Tsakonas calling all the action. Pregame starts at 6:45 pm, with tip-off at 7. Click here to listen.
