Logan Fotiadis – Central Jersey Sports Radio

In his pregame interview, Monroe coach Jeff Warner said his team was having trouble scoring the basketball all year. They’d been averaging a shade under 40 points a game in their first nine, with only two wins to show for it.

So much for a lack of offense.

After a low-scoring first-half in which Monroe led 24-15 at the half, the points came in bunches in the second, and the Falcons came away with a 57-49 win at Spotswood in a GMC crossover Monday night, as heard live on Central Jersey Sports Radio.

And it was the scoring that did it for Monroe. Senior Logan Fotiadis set a new career high with 20 points, all on two-pointers, while senior Taran Singh set a career high as well, finishing with 15, and he took a couple of big charges in the game, too.

Monroe got out to a 16-point lead – its biggest of the game – with three minutes to go in the third quarter, but the Chargers closed to within nine at the end of three, and got as close as seven on a few occasions, but could never quite get over the hump.

Monroe improves to 3-7 on the year, while Spotswood drops to 5-7.

Three touchdowns – one rushing and two through the air – from senior Logan Fotiadis helped the Monroe Football team earn a 34-12 Big Central National Silver Division win at East Brunswick Friday night.

Fotiadis opened the scoring less than two minutes into the game with a 62-yard touchdown run, then followed it with a 20-yard TD catch on a pass from QB Brandon Macaluso to open up a 15-0 lead.

Tommy DeMetrio added a field goal, then booted another in the second quarter to give the Falcons a 21-0 lead at the half.

The Bears got on the board after Monroe opened the second half scoring on a four-yard pass from Macaluso to Ryan Bayoumy to make it 27-6. And after a Feliz Munoz 55-yard touchdown catch for the Bears, Fotiadis caught another TD pass from Macaluso to make it 34-12.

Monroe evens up its record at 2-2 ahead of a home game with JFK next week, while East Brunswick drops to 1-3 and will play at Old Bridge next Friday night in the Battle of Route 18 on the Big Central Game of the week presented by Bellamy & Son Paving on Central Jersey Sports Radio.
