Newark and William Penn advance to championship round
by Marshal Manlove
editor

NEWARK- Newark and William Penn advanced to the boy's basketball state championship game by winning their semifinal games against A.I. duPont and Brandywine, respectively, on Thursday night. 
  The William Penn win over the Bulldogs was by 32 points and while the Dawg Pound was out in force, they didn't have much to bark about. The Bulldogs couldn't get a bounce to drop their way all night long, shooting just 31% in the game. Na'Shawn Ellerbe was the high scorer for Brandywine with 17 points.
  Devin Smith continued to be the force to contend with and continued his run towards player of the year honors. His 19 points combined with Shane Hairston's 15 and Lorenzo Wilson's 14 to provide all of the offense that was necessary for the Colonials.
  The Colonials will make their fourth consecutive trip to the championship game. They lost to Brandywine in Ot by a point in 98, beat Lake Forest for the Championship in 99 and lost last year to A.I. duPont.
  Newark was last in the finals in 97 when they lost to Seaford 77-74. The Yellowjackets last championship was in 1990 with James Doody Jr. as head coach.
  Greg Benjamin is the current coach who was pumping his fists with his index finger raised to indicate number one as A.I. duPont's last second shot attempt to win their semifinal game missed.
  This game was tight the whole way with the Tigers maintaining a 1-5 point lead for most of the game. The score at half time was 38-37 Tigers.
  This game was about rebounding. On numerous occasions, both teams were having trouble grabbing missed shots off of the glass. It was an indication that these teams were much more even than most people thought although the Tigers were missing one of their starting guards, Steven Napier. 
  Chris Saylor and Kwana Chase did their parts for the Tigers and particularly Saylor towards the end of the game. With two minutes to go in the game and the game tied at 56, Saylor scored two quick baskets and a free throw sandwiched around a Lamont Davis free throw to give the Tigers a 4 point lead with 1:11 to go. 
  But Lamont Davis scored a bucket on a layup off an assist from Dan Frick and also drew a foul which he converted into another point and the Newark fans exploded in the stands as they were only down a point again.
   Saylor scored again to give him a game-high 26 on the night and Newark's Terry Alls responded with a rebound and a layup after Davis missed a 3-point shot to pull Newark to within a point with 37 seconds to go.
  Ricardo Comegy was fouled by Newark and only made one of his two shots at the free throw line keeping the Tigers ahead by 2.
  After Davis was fouled at the other end, he made two free throws to tie the game. A turnover gave Newark the ball once again with a chance to win and the Tigers fouled Terry Alls puttin him at the line with 5 seconds to go. Alls converted one of two to give Newark the lead.
  After one time out on an inbound attempt by the Tigers, Kwana Chase hit Saylor with a baseball pass down on the Tigers side of the court. Saylor's 3-pointer was short but was rebounded by Karl Riley. Riley's layup missed and the buzzer sounded advancing Newark to the Championship.
  Davis scored 30 points for Newark and Alls pitched in 18. Bilal Goldborough fouled out for Newark with 4 minutes to go in the game after scoring eight points for his team.

Devin Smith leads Colonials to state title

Breaks 24-year old scoring record in final high school game

NEWARK- Devin Smith scored 38 points for the William Penn Colonials as the Cherry and Black won the 2001 state basketball championship 73-53 over the Newark Yellowjackets at the Bob Carpenter Center.
Smith scored 14 points to Newark's 17 in the first quarter alone. The senior stepped up beyond even his expectations and pulling down 17 rebounds and blocking Yellowjacket shots.
Smith was on fire all game long. He shot a blistering 16-21 from the field and had 23 points at half time. The Colonials had basically sewn up the game at that point leading 36-25.
Newark was never really that much closer for the balance of the game. The Colonials as a team shot 49 percent as the Jackets could only manage to shoot at a 32 percent clip.
Terry Alls scored 23 points for Newark and Lamont Davis added 12. Newark was also outrebounded 44-32.  
3300 people came out to watch these two long-time rivals compete in the basketball finals for the very first time. 
The win for the Colonials was their third overall since the state tournament began in 1967. Sanford, Howard, and Newark also have three championships and Wilmington was the all-time leader with five. 
Smith's 38 points in the championship game broke the former record held by Brandywine's Rich Schatzman in 1977 set against Dover. Smith scored a total of 120 points in the four games William Penn played in the tournament for an average of 30 per game. It was just two points shy of tying Sanford's Ralph Blalocks tournament record set in 1992.
Smith also broke the single game record of 13 field goals formerly held by Seaford's Andre Matthews in 1997 with his 16.
