Go Pirates!!
Newark East Side senior Ismael Sanogo had an uneventful first half against Blair in the Hoop Group Tip-Off Showcase at West Orange High School yesterday, scoring zero points while dealing with foul trouble.
His Newark East Side teammates bailed him out, however, as the two teams went into the locker room deadlocked. Then the 6-8 senior showed why he is a Seton Hall commitment when he took over down the stretch to lead Newark East Side, No. 5 in The Star-Ledger Top 20, to a 46-43 victory. It was the season opener for East Side, while Blair fell to 5-1.
Sanogo still had trouble finding the range in the third quarter, but his first basket of the game, which came late in third quarter, gave his team a 35-31 lead before he scored on three crowd-pleasing buckets in the fourth quarter when East Side stretched its lead to as high as six points.
