#1 Don Bosco Takes Bergen Title

#1 Don Bosco Prep walked into the gym at FDU in Teaneck with a quiet confidence. They struck early and made #16 Ramapo chase the game as they led bell-to-bell to take the Bergen County Title.

The first quarter started well for Bosco, who jumped out to an early 10-0 lead. The Ironmen were able to stifle Ramapo in the paint and on the perimeter defensively with their length and athleticism. Ramapo went nearly five minutes in the first without a basket before Charlie Wingfield got a putback to get them on the board. The Ironmen limited Ramapo and held a 10-4 lead after the opening quarter, with 7'1" sophomore Keiner Asprilla turning the game into his personal "Here I Am" moment on defense, causing havoc and blocking shots on the regular.

The second featured much the same, as Ramapo ran patient sets looking for any look they could, with Princeton commit Peyton Seals finding success, but Dylan Harper and Bosco answered with a run late i the half to lead 23-12.

Bosco put the pedal to the floor in the third quarter and put the game to bed behind the Rutgers bound Harper, who finished with a game high 24 points. The Ironmen were able to put it on cruise control in the fourth quarter and walked out of FDU with the Bergen County Championship, winning 57-33.

The title was the Ironmen's 12th in the nearly 70 year history of the Bergen County Tournament.
