Their record now stands at 20-4 as they prepare for state playoff action. Four of the five Foxes starters are Moorestown residents which provided some added excitement to the contest.

Boys’ Basketball Falls, 78-75

In Baiada Field House last night, a capacity crowd enjoyed a thrilling, high-scoring boys’ contest won by Moorestown High School, 78-75. Moorestown seemed to pull away late in the third quarter and led 65-51 at one point of the fourth quarter. However, the Foxes mounted a furious late comeback led by the inside-out combination of senior Jordan White (27 points) and sophomore Jack Stern (a career-high 30 points). They scored 30 points in the fourth quarter and found themselves with possession of the ball with four seconds left, down 78-75. The Foxes were unable to get a shot off as the buzzer sounded, but the crowd had been treated to the most exciting game of the season.
