The matchup had a good storyline: Manville, with Edryn Morales ten points away from the 1,000 point club, facing the one of the state’s top scorers in South River’s Alex Grospe.
But Grospe injured his ankle against Spotswood Friday night, and was unable to give it a go Saturday afternoon at the Crusader College Showcase at Bound Brook. He’s day-to-day, and shouldn’t miss much time, but his teammates certainly missed him.
For Manville? Morales got his 1,000th point – on a free throw in the first quarter – and the Mustangs sailed past the Rams, 72-39, to improve to 8-3 on the season.
South River dropped to 6-6 with the loss.
Morales finished with 19 for Manville, while Josh D’Ambrosio led all scorers with 22 – including four triples – before his day was done.
