Rex stands tall as Prep overtakes
Bridgeton, 72-64
“I was determined to grab rebounds in Bill
Fahber’s absence. I had to sit out three
minutes of the second quarter because of
foul trouble and coach told me not to worry
about scoring, just to get all the rebounds I
could get.”
St. Augustine Prep’s Raheem Rex
By TOM GANTERT, Staff Writer
RICHLAND – St. Augustine Prep
basketball coach Paul Rodio would have
been happy with just the rebounds.
Raheem Rex gave him more. The 6-foot-6
Rex scored 14 points and had 13
rebounds Monday to lift St. Augustine to a
72-64 victory over Bridgeton in a Cape-
Atlantic League National Division game.
The Prep, 13-5, has to rely on Rex more
for his rebounding since it lost 6-foot-7 Bill
Fahber to an injury. St. Augustine can pick
up the scoring slack with its smaller
guards.
“Raheem was the difference on the
boards,” said Rodio. “Now that we don’t
have the big kid, we need rebounding.
Raheem can do both (rebounding and
scoring). I think he’ll have to in big
games.”
St. Augustine rebounded from a one-point
halftime deficit to outscore Bridgeton 37-
28 in the second half. St. Augustine’s Bob
Hennessy scored 10 points in the third
quarter, including three 3-pointers.
Hennessy finished with 14 points. The
Prep’s Matt Miles, who had a team-high
17 points, scored seven points in the final
quarter.
“I was determined to grab rebounds in Bill
Fahber’s absence..” Rex said. “I had to sit
out three minutes of the second quarter
because of foul trouble and coach told me
not to worry about scoring, just to get all
the rebounds I could get.”
Bridgeton, 9-8, was led by Dwayne
Robinson, who finished with 19 points.
Terrence Hester fought foul trouble all
night and eventually fouled out. He scored
12 points, but only took four shots in the
second half.
The Prep took the lead for good with 2:36
left in the third quarter when Hennessy hit
his third 3-pointer to make it 48-47. Matt
Hufty scored and Brendan Fagan added a
basket to give St. Augustine a 53-49 lead
after three quarters.
