The Ridge High School boys basketball team traveled to Clinton to take on North Hunterdon Thursday night. The Lions tried roaring back in fourth quarter, only to be turned away as the Ridge team held onto its lead.

IN SHORT

The Devils came out a little sluggish and let North Hunterdon control the first quarter. But Ridge used its strength, defense, and held the Lions to 7 total points in the middle half. North Hunterdon went on a run in the final frame putting up five 3 pointers and taking the ball inside, drawing a couple of costly fouls.

Ridge held on going 6-for-6 from the free throw line and getting two 3 pointers of their own from Kevin Doolan.

THEY SAID IT
