           After winning the Bergen County Jamboree, Teaneck H.S. still had more to accomplish. They went about doing it by winning the Group 3 Sectional Championship over a game, hard working West Milford H.S. team 58-51 in overtime. Teaneck had four people in double figures again led by Javae King- Gilchrist with 14 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. The senior did it all in overtime. After the game was sent into O.T. on a Rob Nylund (9pts., 9 rebs., 3 stls.) put back to make it 43-43 , Gilchrist had a hand in three straight offensive possesions. After Jonathan Blue (13 pts., 5 rebs.) made two free throws to start the overtime, Gilchrist, playing with 4 fouls went coast to coast for a layup to make it 47-43, then after  a Jason Sofman (12 pts., 7 rebs., 3 blks.) basket, Gilchrist again made a layup  to make it 49-45 with 1:50 left in the game. West Milford would not go away, getting  a basket from Chad Houser( 16 pts., 7 rebs.) to cut the lead to 49-47. This time Gilchrist  penetrated and found  Kyle Steinbergin (13 pts., 4stls.) on the right corner for a game clinching three that made it 52-47. Teaneck got a workhorse  game from  Shomari Barber with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 3 block shots. He made a free throw late to wrap it up. West Milford’s point guard Mac Marondo had a solid game with 11 points and 5 assists.
