West Deptford Boys' Basketball Goes to OT to Beat Palmyra
The Eagles won their 13th of the season, 42-40, Friday night.
The West Deptford boys' basketball team brought a little drama Friday night, as they battled a scrappy Palmyra team to a 37-37 tie through regulation before finding the slightest of edges in overtime to notch the win.
Again without starting point guard Justin Hansen, the Eagles were led by Tom Jakubowski's 12 points and an even effort behind him.
Kyle Redrow, who has been pressed into more guard play, TJ Harcum and Ryan Flaherty all finished with six points each, while Tim Fair put in five.
