The 2023-24 Bound Brook Lady Crusaders (Source: @BBcrusaderball on Twitter)
The 2022-23 season was a statistical anomaly for the Bound Brook girls’ basketball team.
At 11-14, it was the Lady Crusaders’ first sub-.500 season since head coach Jen Derevjanik’s first in The Brook.
More accurately, it was only the second in nine seasons. Translation? There was a lot of winning in between.
Now, in 2023-24, Bound Brook is back to its winning ways. The team is 6-1, ranked tenth in the Bellamy & Son Paving Top Ten for the second week in a row. After a road game Thursday night at Belvidere, they’ll host No. 9 Somerville, which is just one paltry game better, at 7-1, in a reschedule of a big Skyland Conference Mountain Division clash that was originally set for Tuesday night, but got postponed due to inclement weather.
That game is now scheduled for 11 am Saturday, and you can hear it on Central Jersey Sports Radio, with Mike Pavlichko calling all the action. Click here to listen.
Gone is star point guard Casey Miller, whom Derevjanik has said was the “heart and soul” of the team the last few years, but the Lady Crusaders are doing just fine at the moment. Senior Jamaiya McLeod leads the team at 11.3 points per game, and fellow senior Sara Theissen is averaging nearly a double-double, at 9 points and 11 boards a game through the first seven.
