Even as his team took a 15-point lead into the half, Ridge's Kevin Doolan knew better than to assume the game was over. The senior guard was well aware of how explosive Columbia was and that a rally was coming.
“We watched them on tape and they're so explosive. I was really surprised when we were up 15,” Doolan said. “And then once they started coming back, then I was like 'ok, now we got to kick it back up and have the seniors take leadership.'”
Second-seeded Ridge saw a 17-point lead disappear, but never fell behind as Doolan and company managed to hold on and come up big on the foul line for a 48-39 victory over third-seeded Columbia in the NJSIAA/ShopRite North Jersey, Section 2, Group 4 semifinals last night in Basking Ridge.
