    Cash on Delivery!

    February 24, 2020 Cash On Delivery! Stunning Three-Pointer from Half Court Puts Ghosts into Passaic County Tournament Final Eastside will face Kennedy on Saturday It was number three, Joshua Cash, whose three points at the buzzer put the Eastside Ghosts over the top for a win over Paterson Charter School 59-56 in the Passaic County Tournament semifinals on Saturday. “Definitely the biggest shot of my life,” Cash said to sportswriter Darren Cooper of The Record. “I knew once we got the rebound, they would all retreat and once I got across half court, that’s when they came at me. I had enough time to get off a shot and I hit it.” Cooper reported that Cash’s game-winning shot quickly became known as “Cash on Delivery” among the many fans who packed the gymnasium at the Kennedy Education Complex. A jubilant Eastside Coach Marquise Webb embraced Cash after the team’s victory as fans celebrated on the hardwood. Later Saturday, the top-seeded Kennedy Knights beat Passaic 63-52. The two teams will face off against each other in the tournament final on Saturday, Feb. 29, at noon at Wayne Valley High School. Also last Saturday, the Kennedy Lady Knights lost to Wayne Valley after a valiant double-overtime effort. GOT NEWS for The Paterson Post?
