On Saturday morning we drove up to Northern Highlands High School for 4 Sweet 16 round games in the Bergen Jamboree. Bergen County has more high schools than any county in the state and the top 23 teams made the tournament.

In the third game in a thriller, 7th seeded Pascack Hills trimmed 10th seeded Old Tappan 60-58 on a baseline drive at the buzzer from 5-foot-8 Sr. Brian Horn. Horn finished a superb game with 32 points. 6-foot Jr. Troy McLaughlin scored 22, 15 in the third quarter for Old Tappan.
