Notre Dame High hires new varsity boys basketball coach
Mostrangeli resigns as Steinert boys basketball coach
Hamilton’s season comes to end in Lakewood
March 1: A season of ups and downs and everything in between came to end for Hamilton West tonight, as the 12th-seeded Hornets dropped a 55-46 decision at fifth-seeded Lakewood in an NJSIAA Central Jersey Group III first-round game.
The Hornets trailed by one after one quarter, but got outscored by eight in the second quarter and five in the third to put them 14 behind entering the final eight minutes. Hamilton cut into the lead slightly, but not enough to come back.
Michael Bryant led the way with 13 points while Brett Strohman had 10.

Jan. 15: Nottingham coach Mike Walsh's theme this season, has been about preaching toughness.
Walsh got it last night, when his Northstars team went on the road to Notre Dame and rallied for a 52-47 win over the Irish to snap a three-game losing streak.
Ty Williams (photo on right by Dennis Symons Jr./dennissymons.com) led the charge by scoring 13 of his 20 points in the final quarter, when Nottingham wiped out a five-point deficit and raised its record to 3-7.
Forward Bill Kiernan continued his inspired play up front, getting nine points, 10 boards and four blocks. Kiernan has been a frequent visitor to double figure stats in the rebounding department of late.
Nottingham will try and make it two straight when it hosts Hopewell Valley Tuesday night.

Boys basketball previews
HAMILTON
Head Coach: Chris Raba (9th season)
Assistants: Jason Malloy, Joe Celinski
Last season: 10-16
Roster: AJ Adams (6-1 Sr. G), Terrance Thomas (6-1 Sr. G), Jordan Robinson (6-1 Sr. C), Roman White (5-5 Sr. G), Kamaar Thompson (6-2 Sr. F), Cedrick Bryant (6-1 Jr. G), Michael Bryant (6-3, Jr. C), Nick Celinski (5-7 Jr. G), Yvens Dessalines (5-10 Jr. G), Simon Lapointe (6-0 Jr. F), Brett Strohman (5-10 So. G)
Raba says: My senior group was 1-20 when they were freshmen, so we are a work in progress. AJ is a capable shooter and scorer and Mike Bryant has been a pleasant surprise. We will really have to manage the game well on the offensive and defensive sides of the court due to our lack of scoring power. We have to take quality shots and really run our patterns to stay competitive. The guys are working extremely hard so the staff is optimistic.
Let’s start with: Hamilton visits Nottingham for a 7 p.m. tip-off Friday.
NOTTINGHAM
Head coach: Mike Walsh, third season
Assistants: Joe Radice, Jon Adams.
Last season: 10-15 overall, 4-9 CVC Valley Division
Captain: Ty Williams
Roster: Ty Williams (6-0 Sr. G), Tyrell Gaines (6-2 Sr. F), Anthony Alston (6-0 Jr. G), Bill Kiernan (6-4 Jr. F), Jeff Dieudonne (6-0 Jr. G), Andy Vital (5-1 Jr. G), Mike Ziegler (6-4 Jr. F), Tariq McClain (6-2 Jr. G), Robert Wiggs (5-10 Jr. G), Jarrett Varanyak (6-0 So. G), Dwayne Capers (5-7 So. G), Kayier Fair (5-7 So. G).
Walsh says: This year's team will be getting back to the "team" philosophy of two years ago, after straying last year. Ty Williams, Jarrent Varanyak, Jeff Dieudonne, Anthony Alston and Dwayne Capers can provide shooting from the outside. Bill Kiernan, Tyrell Gaines and Mike Ziegler will provide size and strength underneath. With only one senior returning with experience and two seniors on the team, this is a young group that will hopefully realize their potential sooner rather than later.
Lets start with: Nottingham hosts Hamilton, 7 p.m., Friday.
STEINERT
Head coach: Albert Mostrangeli (10th season)
Assistants: Dave Perry, Ed Patranto
Last season: 12-14, qualified for CJ IV Tournament
Roster: Mike Constantini (6-2 Sr. G), Mark Gorski (6-1 Sr. G/F), Zack Zimmerman (6-2 Sr. G), Matt Datel (6-3 Sr. C), Kris Elliott (6-0 Sr. G), Brian Dorney (6-4 Sr. C), Troy Sudeck (5-10 Sr. G), Andrew Mosley (5-11 Sr. G), Scott Musser (6-2 Jr. F), Adler Pierre (6-1 Jr. F)
Mostrangeli says: The first five listed are starters and only Constantini and Gorski are back from last year. All others are up from JV. We need to have balanced scoring and need to handle the ball.”
Let’s start with: Spartans host Hopewell Valley at 7 p.m. Friday.

Sunnybrae’s
sunny days
and Babe Ruth teams
keep township
in the sports spotlight
Whether it’s 11-year-old boys on the little league field in Paramus, pre-teen girls on the World Series diamond in Florida or teenage boys on the Babe Ruth diamond in West Windsor, Hamilton Township has a rooting interest.
While the majority of teams have played their last meaningful games this summer, three entries from the township are still bringing the bats and balls out to some of the biggest tournaments of the year.
Fish4Scores.com will attempt to continue to bring you the results and photos of these exciting events. However, myself and Ken Weingartner are both away on vacation starting Saturday and running through Friday.
So Ken will try and do his part from Lake George and I will do mine from Cape May. We apologize if results and pictures are posted a bit late, but rest assured they will get posted as soon as we can.
Anyway, here’s what’s in store the coming week.
* * *
First off, how about those Sunnybrae 11-year-old Little Leaguers!
Once the 12-year-old District 12 Tournament is over and the winner loses in the sectionals, little league baseball kind of takes a backseat as far as newspaper coverage goes. Sure, they’ll run the results if phoned in, but mostly Babe Ruth has taken center stage, or any 12-year-old team still alive (like Robbinsville softball).
But I, for one, am really happy for this group of Sunnybrae kids. What they did is pretty remarkable when you think about it.
For 52 years, the league has never won a sectional title, and now, boom! Here it is. From a team that nobody thought would even get out of pool play according to manager Greg Beyer.
Sunnybrae has lived in the shadows of Nottingham Little League forever, it seems. So has most of the rest of Mercer County, but when a league in your same town is always earning the glory, it’s kind of tough. It didn’t help that HTRBA has had its share of glory in recent years as well.
But this band of Sunnybrae 11s has put the league on the map during a season when Hamilton Township fell short of winning a district title in any other age group. Not only did Sunnybrae win a district, it has won Section 3.
The states start Saturday.
Good luck boys! Keep making us proud!
* * *
While there is a fresh face carrying the township banner is little league, a familiar group is doing likewise in softball.
The Hamilton Girls Softball Association 12-year-old team will be boarding a plan Thursday for Alachua, Fla., where it will begin pool play Saturday while making its third straight trip to the Babe Ruth World Series.
Provided the plane ride goes smoothly (according to manager Frank Bennett, four girls are making their first flight!), Hamilton will be the first team to play in the showcase as it has a 10 a.m. game with the Midwest Plains champion Saturday.
Hamilton also plays Sunday at 2 p.m., Monday at noon and Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. The top three finishers in each five-team pool will form a six-team, double elimination bracket starting Wednesday.
If history is any indicator, Hamilton should have a lengthy stay, as it won the national title in 2008 and finished third last year.
So, not to repeat myself but, good luck girls! Keep making us proud!
* * *
Finally, the Hamilton Babe Ruth 15-year-olds get underway in Mid-Atlantic Region play Thursday in West Windsor.
Hamilton is attempting to win the league’s first regional title since the Hamilton Nationals won it in 1971. Nottingham won it all in 2008.
The Switlik gang opens pool play at 4 p.m. against Frederick, Md. Hamilton wasn’t dominant in its first two rounds, as it finished second in District One, and again in the Southern New Jersey states.
But the slate is clean and one never knows what can happen once a new tournament begins.
So stop me if you’ve heard this one before but, good luck boys! Keep making us proud!
