Bound Brook had a distinct size advantage over Bernards heading into their Skyland Conference crossover game Saturday afternoon, and the Crusaders used every inch to their advantage.
Whether it was rebounding, getting shots over defenders, driving the hoop, or getting in passing lanes, it worked to perfection, leading the home Crusaders (8-4) to a 73-53 win over visiting Bernards (7-4).
Jackson Morrison led the Brook with 23 points, including three treys, while Jeremiah Williams chipped in 22. Monte Douglass led Bernards in defeat with 16.
The teams exchanged the lead a few times early, but Bound Brook went on a run in the middle of the first to take a 21-11 lead after the first eight minutes, and they would never trail again, leading by as many as 23 at one point in the final quarter.
