It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday for lacrosse and Summit Lacrosse’s 50th anniversary celebration! It brought out a great crowd to check out this neighboring town clash. Chatham’s had a slow start this season – but you have to throw out the record books when these teams get together! Summit rattled off 5 straight in […]
Summit High School Boys Swim Team competed in the Union County Championship meet held at the Berkeley Aquatic complex on February 6, 2022 and emerged with numerous “best times” amongst its swimmers. Both Freshmen Aidan Tapia and Charlie Moon took nearly two seconds off of their 200 Freestyle. In the 200 IM, Sophomore Jake Miller eliminated an impressive amount off of […]
Summit traveled to Ridge for a 1pm tip on Saturday. From a fan perspective, Ridge has one of the nicest gyms I’ve traveled to all year – spacious with great natural light. Rhett Grieco and Joaquin Russell suited up for this one – great to see them back in the lineup after being sidelined for […]
I wasn’t able to make the drive up to Sparta – all of this is speculation based on the stats (https://highschoolsports.nj.com/game/696369). If you went to the game and are willing to contribute, please get in touch with me! Points were tough to come by in this one. The teams barely broke into double figures by […]
Summit traveled to Rahway for an earlier-than-usual 4pm tipoff. I arrived slightly late and the Hilltoppers had already built a solid 8-2 lead. But Summit shooting went cold, letting Rahway mount a 7-1 run to take a 9-8 lead into the second quarter. Throughout the season, Summit has struggled with teams that can generate lots […]
It was a record-breaking day on Wednesday for the undefeated Hilltopper Girls Swim team as they took on undefeated Westfield at the Westfield YMCA. The Hilltopper Girls shattered 6 school records and posted numerous best times. Senior captains Dagny Donaldson and Caitlin Fagan took first and second place in the 200 freestyle both with best […]
Summit won’t want to watch the game tape from the first quarter. Scotch Plains-Fanwood jumped all over the Hilltoppers from the opening tip and didn’t let them breathe. Within 2 minutes, the Raiders opened up an 8-0 lead. Their aggressive half court defense and fast breaking offense created easy bucket after easy bucket. Summit wasn’t […]
In their initial matchup, New Providence jumped all over Summit and never let up – resulting in a 20-point loss. But Coach Simo has the Hilltoppers looking much better as of late – and a rematch felt like it would be a good barometer of how far the team has come. With Joaquin Russell and […]
Summit met Hillside in its season opener, an affair that ended in a buzzer beater and court storming. That game must have left a bad taste in the Comets mouth because Hillside took the rematch by 20, beating Summit 64-44. I was unable to attend this game – see https://highschoolsports.nj.com/game/696547 for full game stats. Myles […]
On paper, it looked like this game could go either way. The teams had faced common opponents in New Providence and Chatham. Chatham, which Summit recently beat convincingly, whooped Cranford. New Providence, which Cranford beat twice convincingly, routed Summit. This was a parents-only game, so I wasn’t able to attend! I’m relying on data from […]
