The Ewing Blue Devils will venture away from home to challenge the Westampton Tech Panthers at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday. Ewing will be looking to extend their current six-game winning streak.
Ewing is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Wednesday. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat Brick Memorial 71-44.
Meanwhile, Westampton Tech posted their biggest victory since December 21, 2024 on Wednesday. They blew past Northern Burlington 64-38. Given the Panthers' advantage in MaxPreps' New Jersey basketball rankings (they are ranked 89th, while the Greyhounds are ranked 254th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Westampton Tech's win came from a few key players Ewing will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Jacob McCollum, who shot 86% from the field to rack up 13 points and six rebounds. The last time his shooting accuracy was this high was back in January of 2024. Alex Jeanty was another key player, going 5-for-8 en route to 14 points.
Westampton Tech was working as a unit and finished the game with 16 assists. They are 11-1 when they've passed the ball that well.
Westampton Tech is on a roll lately: they've won three of their last four matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 16-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 56.5 points over those games. Ewing's record is now 17-5.
Ewing was able to grind out a solid win over Westampton Tech in their previous meeting back in March of 2017, winning 50-42. The rematch might be a little tougher for Ewing since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
