Rutgers Prep — Week 2 had it all: a three-point survival act, a stunner that ended an unbeaten run, and a two-point overtime finish. The Bearcats stayed perfect, five teams are still unbeaten across the three divisions, and a handful of squads finally cracked the win column. Here's the recap, division by division.
Bearcats 83, Flint Tropics 80. The game of the week. Kyree Henry was unconscious — 29 points on seven three-pointers with 11 rebounds — and the Bearcats needed every one. DJ Campbell added 20 and Noah Harris 17 (five triples). Flint pushed to the wire behind Jaheim Lewis (23), Nas Amos (22) and Parker Dortch's 20-and-17, but the Bearcats held on to stay a perfect 2-0.
PTR 93, Misfits 78. A three-point shootout. Justin Morton drilled seven from deep for 23, Michael Isaac added 21 and Mario Gunn posted 17 and 14 boards as PTR grabbed its first win. Ray Zamloot answered with 28 (six threes) and Daniel Yarus 15, but PTR pulled away after the break.
The Turnover Bakery 77, RU 55. Balanced and relentless. Elijah Peters poured in 24, Billy Anderson went for 19 and 10, and Isaiah Honis stuffed the sheet (14 points, 11 boards, 5 assists) as the Bakery cruised to its first win. Justin Boston's 14 led RU.
Scari McDonalds 71, Club Passion 65. Jakari Spence (24 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists) and Larry Smith (23 and 14) were too much inside, with Tyrel Davis adding 17 and 9. Justin Carbone's 18 kept Club Passion close, but Scari closed it out for its first win. (Mudita Rec had the bye.)
Troublemakers 71, Lords of the Rim 55. The upset of the week — the Troublemakers ended the Lords' unbeaten start. Briana Lee ran the show with 20 points, seven assists and six steals, Rachel Kuhl added 22 and Imene Fathi 13. Caileigh Walsh's 25 and Mel Daley's 14 weren't enough for the Lords.
Splash Sisters 63, Willy P 52. Danaejah Grant kept rolling with 26 points and five threes, and Courtney Edmundo controlled the glass (14 and 10) as the Splash Sisters moved to 2-0. Jada Jacobs' 19 paced Willy P.
Prime Time 43, SheHoop 29. Erika Jones did a little of everything — 14 points, 11 rebounds, two blocks — and Shaniece Wright grabbed 12 boards as Prime Time's defense smothered SheHoop to stay perfect at 2-0.
Avengers 50, Lady Lions 40. Nicole Metzel was a force on the glass (12 points, 16 rebounds) and Carolina Garcia and Katie Hill added 12 apiece as the Avengers grabbed their first win. Amanda Baylock's 11 led the Lady Lions. (Ballsohard had the bye.)
New Jersey Buckets 75, Pro Ballers 73 (OT). An overtime classic. Kadian Dawkins (20 and 9) came up biggest, with Sincere Williams (18) and Yvelt Exil (16) backing him as the Buckets moved to 2-0. Andrew Martin was sensational in defeat — 25 points, 15 rebounds — and Jackson Morrison added 21, but Pro Ballers fell just short.
Beach Boyz 58, 732ers 48. Justin Green's 19 led a balanced Beach Boyz attack, Jamaal Stanton buried four threes for 14, and Jevon Hill and Ram Shabazz combined for 17 boards. Louis Crozier's 16-and-16 kept the 732ers in it, but Beach Boyz stayed unbeaten at 2-0.
Fast Break 75, Team Select 58. Camron Summers went off for 29 points and 8 rebounds, Jordan Summers added 13 and 4 assists, and Deion Fabian chipped in 13 as Fast Break notched its first win. Daishon Robinson's 16 led Team Select.
