Simeon Pincus, mycentraljersey.com, March 1, 2014
When a squad features a superstar like the Gill St. Bernard’s High School girls basketball club has in senior Taylor Rooks, it can be easy to forget basketball is a team game.
With its Stanford-bound standout in and out of the game with foul trouble for most of the second half, before she finally fouled out with 45 seconds left in the fourth quarter of a tie game, it was time for Gill St. Bernard’s to step up as a team, and it did just that, as the top-seeded Knights came together and secured their third straight Somerset County Tournament championship, 55-51 over second-seeded Franklin in overtime at Franklin High School.Saturday, in the Knights’ biggest match of the year, they were forcibly reminded what their coaching staff had preached all season.Taylor Rooks’ had 19 points for the Knights.
