PW stays unbeaten with win over Roman in Kobe Bryant/Rally Classic
By Pat Leonard
Plymouth Whitemarsh 54, Roman Catholic 42
At halftime Sunday, Roman Catholic had a one-point lead on the No. 2
team in Southeastern Pennsylvania as ranked by the Inquirer. But Plymouth
Whitemarsh (15-0) recovered and stayed unbeaten, behind 24 points and eight
rebounds from 6-foot-7 junior forward Jaylen Bond.
Bond scored 16 of 24 points in the second half. St. Joseph's recruit C.J.
Aiken, a 6-foot-10 senior center, had seven points and eight blocks. Junior
guard Brandon Dixon dished eight assists to go along with six points.
Roman Catholic did not start its star, senior guard Rakeem Brookins
(Tulane). But his first points of the game, on a layup just before half, put
the Catholic League Cahillites up 19-18.
But PW outscored Roman 18-8 in the third quarter.
Bond had 11 points in the fourth quarter, including a bucket with 41 seconds
remaining in the game that gave the Colonials their largest lead, 52-39, and
gave Roman the cue to empty its bench.

On Tuesday January 26,2010 the Plymouth Whitemarsh Colonials (9-0 league,
15-0 overall) will host the Wissahickon Trojans in a Suburban One American
conference Boys Basketball showdown. This game probably means a little bit
more for the Colonials than their excited 54-42 win over Roman Catholic on
Sunday January 24,2010. A win the Plymouth Whitemarsh would mean the
Colonials would capture the Suburan One American conference title since PW
would have 4 more league wins than their 2nd place
opponent,Wissahickon(now 6-2 in league,12-3). Wissahickon beat also Suburban
One American 2nd place rival Norristown(6-2,11-4), and the Colonials had the
other league victory against the Eagles. This would be the Colonials' 7th
straight league title.
