Spartans, Hornets keep winning streaks intact 
            Jan. 29: It was a night for two hot squads to take care of business against lesser competition, and the Steinert and Hamilton girls’ basketball teams did just that.

Steinert, Hamilton win tourney consolation games
           Dec. 30: Just call it a consoling day for the Steinert and Hamilton West girls' basketball teams.
          After a fourth-quarter collapse sent Steinert to a surprising first-round loss to Delaware Valley in the Hillsborough Tournament Tuesday, the Spartans used a strong second-half effort to console themselves today.
         Steinert outscored CVC Colonial Division rival West Windsor-Plainsboro South, 40-31, in the consolation game. Leading by two at halftime, Steinert (4-1) outscored  the Pirates 24-16 in the second half. Dana Jeter had 12 points, Caitlin Larkin added 10 and Jess Belmont chipped in with seven for the Spartans.
         Hamilton (3-2), which had lost two close games in the Jack Kuhnert Memorial Tournament in Manalapan, bounced back from an overtime loss to Sayreville to win its second consolation game, 52-48, over East Brunswick (1-4).
        Alexis Johnson continues to enjoy a strong start to her sophomore season with 21 points, while Chanel Johnson added 13 and Amanda Rossi popped in 10. Hamilton outscored the Bears, 14-7, in the final quarter to win it.
