Whether it’s too late for the Barrons to figure in the GMC White Division race is irrelevant, but a big win Tuesday night on the road may be of way more importance to the Woodbridge girls’ basketball team as a whole than anyone outside of that locker room.

Woodbridge topped No. 4 North Plainfield 60-56 in Somerset County Tuesday night, getting a monster 41-point game from senior Jennah Johnson, the transfer from Gill St. Bernard’s. 

Her effort was a career high, topping her previous best of 24, which came during her sophomore year with the Knights. But what may have been most impressive was her 17-of-19 effort from the foul line.

The win puts Woodbridge at 10-6 on the year, 9-3 in the White Division. One of those losses came to the Canucks earlier this month, with another to JP Stevens. Those are the top two teams in the White at the moment, with North Plainfield 12-1, and the Hawks 10-1 in the division. The Barrons now have their split with the Canucks and will get another crack at JP on January 30th.

At 10-6, 9-3 in the White, the win may be too little, too late for the Barrons to contend for the division title, unless they get some help elsewhere, but it was a show of what’s possible for this team with Johnson in the lineup – a Woodbridge native – after she had to sit the first 30 days of the season due to transfer rules.
