Mayor talks Grainger warehouse construction, shared services and more By leXie yearly Local business, townshipprovided services and growing the surplus were among the key goals Bordentown Township hopes to focus on this year, according to township Mayor Jim Cann. Cann began his term as mayor in January 2015, succeeding 2014 mayor Stephen Benowitz. It is the second time Cann will serve as mayor in Bordentown Township; his first term was in 2013. Looking forward to 2015, Cann said the township’s three main goals were really a continuation of efforts already begun in 2014. The first goal throughout 2014, Cann said, was reflected in the work Benowitz had started with the Economic Development Advisory Committee to put a strong focus on marketing the township and bringing in new business. One of the most noteworthy projects right now is the construction of the Grainger warehouse, which is set to partially open in the first quarter of 2016. “Once it’s up and running,” Cann said, “it’s going to bring quite a bit of tax relief, it’s going to bring jobs, not just to Bordentown Township, but to the See TOWNSHIP, Page 6

District No. 2 fire BRMS gets technical Hour of Code chief says farewell with Weeklong coding By leXie yearly

If there’s one thing William Hartman has learned from his nearly 40 years of fire and EMT service, it’s the value of life and how much he appreciates it. “It’s taught me the value of life, and the value of life is that it could be gone that quick,” Hartman said. “I’ve watched people die in cars that we’ve been cutting apart. Life is so important and it is so precious and so fragile. And it’s amazing how fast it can be taken away.” On Jan. 14, Hartman stepped

down from his role as chief of Bordentown Township Fire District No. 2, making him the last volunteer chief the department will see. The role will now be filled by Chief Robert MacFarland, who was promoted Jan. 14 from his previous position as captain. The structure of having a volunteer fire chief overseeing career firemen is a bit of a unique situation, Hartman said, but one that he’s found to be a positive experience. He attributed his experience See CHIEF, Page 8

activities win school $10K of technology By Stacey PaStorella

The oversized check, awarded to Bordentown Regional Middle School in the amount of $10,000, represents just one way that the school’s participation in the Hour of Code initiative has positively impacted its students. The Hour of Code, sponsored by the nonprofit organization

Code.org, challenges students across the country to participate in at least one hour of activities that focus on computer science and concepts related to coding. For the Hour of Code, Amy Wright, who teaches computer education at Bordentown Regional Middle School, planned a weeklong program Dec. 8–12 that included the entire student population. All classes participated in an offline project, where they redrew patterns by using simple codes to follow the necessary steps. See CODE, Page 10

‘Pajama Game’ coming to BRHS The award-winning Bordentown Regional High School Theatre is set to presenting the fun-filled musical “The Pajama Game” on Feb. 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. Conditions at the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory are anything but peaceful, as sparks fly between new superintendent Sid Sorokin and Babe Williams, leader of the union grievance committee. Their stormy relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 ½ cent pay increase, setting off not only a conflict between management and labor, but a battle of the sexes as well. The Pajama Game was awarded the 1955 Tony Award for Best Musical and over half a century later claimed the award for Best Revival of a Musical. With an energetic score by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, this musical includes songs such as “Steam Heat” and “Hernando’s Hideaway.” The Bordentown production is set to star seniors Dakota Torres (Babe Williams), Jordan Browne (Sid Sorokin), Haley Szenczi (Mabel), Breanna Volz (Mae) and Ivan Trancon (Prez); and juniors Cynthia Reynolds (Gladys), Liam McCormack (Hines), and Scott Price (Hasler). The singing and dancing ensemble of The Pajama Game features Bordentown Regional High School students of all four grade levels, who play a variety of featured roles and dance their way through this musical theatre classic. Prior to the Friday evening performance, the BRHS Theatre Club Parent Boosters will be sponsoring a Dinner and a Show in the school cafeteria.

The $20 ticket includes salad, beverage, a pasta dinner, and dessert, as well a ticket and reserved seating to that evening’s performance. Tickets to this event must be purchased in advance at www/seatyourself.biz/brhs. In 2012, Bordentown Regional High School’s musical, Legally Blonde, was awarded the prestigious Greater Philadelphia Cappie Award for Outstanding Musical. Over the past three years, the Greater Philadelphia Cappie Awards have honored BRHS Theatre performances with 27 nominations and ten awards. The theatrical performances of BRHS have also been honored with awards and nominations from the New Jersey State Thespian Festival and the New Jersey Theatre Night Awards. Bordentown Regional High School is home to International Thespian Society Troupe 6803. The Bordentown Performing Arts Center is attached to Bordentown Regional High School, and is located at 318 Ward Ave. in Bordentown. Tickets are now on sale, and are $10 for adults and $8 for students and seniors. This production is recommended for audience members of all ages. “Dinner and a Show” tickets are available for $20 for the Friday night performance only. All tickets can be purchased online at seatyourself.biz/brhs. For more information, email smorano@ bordentown.k12.nj.us.

Chief William Hartman of Bordentown Township Fire District No. 2 officially retired Jan. 14, 2015. (Staff photo by Lexie Yearly.) CHIEF continued from Page 1 and relationship with the career firefighters to the fact that he proved himself through his work and his willingness to listen to others’ ideas and suggestions. At the time of his retirement, Hartman served as chief with 13 career firefighters, and said despite his volunteer status, he was never made to feel unequal. “The guys always did make me feel like part of everything,” he said. “No matter what happened, I was included in everything.” Since he first started serving as a firefighter in his teen years, Hartman, now 56, has never once tried to turn his volunteer work into a fulltime job. He’s spent nearly 37 years working at Haldeman Ford in Trenton, where he started out washing cars and eventually took on work in the collision repairs department, where he’s stayed ever since. Luckily, very little sleep has never been an issue for Hartman, who noted he’s had occasions where a call keeps him out until 7 a.m., with just enough time for him to head home, shower, and be on his way to his day job. He first got interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter when he was a 15-year-old Boy Scout in 1975. Growing up in Hamilton, Hartman attended Boy Scouts meetings at Enterprise Volunteer Fire Company in Hamilton. When Hartman began to lose interest in the scouting aspect, his father, a Scoutmaster and volunteer fireman, helped his son explore his opportunities at the fire department. From age 15-17, individuals are able to serve as junior firemen, meaning they can

still assist the department in some capacity, but can’t do things like handle the fire hose or run into a burning building. At 16, Hartman completed fire school, and at 17, applied for his first EMT course. He then spent the next few years serving as an EMT with Liberty Rescue Squad in Trenton. In 1980, he married his wife, Debbie, and in 1984, the couple moved to Bordentown Township, where Hartman joined Derby Volunteer Fire Company. The following year, he was promoted to captain, and the next year became chief. He continued to serve as chief for the majority of his time with the fire department, amounting to more than 25 years. What he’s enjoyed most about his work as a firefighter and EMT is his service to his community. “I think it was the ability to serve the community and know you are making a difference,” Hartman said. “We are an individual’s best hope on their worst day. It’s always been said, ‘when you don’t know who else to call? Call a fireman.’” And over the years, Hartman has seen all kinds of calls. “I’ve had snakes in basements,” Hartman said. “I’ve had cats in trees, I’ve had ducks in drains.” One call in particular was quite unusual, and one he remembers to this day. In 2008, Fire District No. 2 was called to assist with an accident on the N.J. Turnpike at 4 a.m. A disabled tractor trailer was parked on the shoulder, and another driver had crashed into it. The driver was fine—he escaped with a cut on his knee—but the vehicles were

BCC to ‘Give Kids a Smile’ Children in need are set to receive free dental care at Burlington County College’s 11th annual “Give Kids A Smile! Day,” Friday, Feb. 6. The one-day program is part of the American Dental Association’s annual push to bring attention to the number one childhood disease, tooth decay. BCC dental hygiene students, alumni and instructors, as well as volunteer local health care professionals, are scheduled to team up to provide free preventive and emergency dental care to children ages 12 and younger. Last year, in New Jersey alone, 2,800plus children visited 121 sites across the state. At BCC, 99 children received more than $47,000 worth of care. “Each year, Burlington County College’s program is among the top contributors in the state,” said Linda Hecker, BCC’s Director of Dental Hygiene. “Give Kids A Smile! Day is our opportunity to directly address the needs in our community. Thanks to the support we receive, we are able to educate young ones on the benefits of proper oral hygiene, serve children who may not otherwise have access to care and instill positive first impressions of trips to the dentist.” Children attending “Give Kids A Smile!” Day at BCC will also be treated to entertainment. The day includes facepainting, a caricature artist, and the chance to meet seeing-eye puppies in training and characters like the tooth fairy. Children will also receive free books courtesy of BCC’s First Book initiative,

which distributed more than 43,000 new, high-quality books to children in need throughout Burlington County. BCC recently announced an expanded program with Mercer County Community College in conjunction with the New Jersey Office of Higher Education and African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey. Those interested in making an appointment for their child should call as soon as possible. Appointments are required and can be made by calling (609) 894-9311, ext. 1074. The BCC Dental Hygiene Center is located in the Lewis M. Parker Center, room 318 on the Pemberton campus at 601 Pemberton Browns Mills Road. Since 2005, BCC’s dental hygiene program has donated more than a half million dollars worth of care to more than 1,000 patients on “Give Kids A Smile!” Day. The New Jersey program is managed by the New Jersey Dental Association, the New Jersey Dental Assistants Association, and the New Jersey Dental Hygienists’ Association and is supported by Colgate, Henry Schein Dental, Delta Dental of NJ and private donations. Nationally, it is supported by the American Dental Association, Henry Schein, Inc. and Colgate. BCC’s program is funded in part by the American Dental Hygiene Association, Institute for Oral Health, Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company Foundation Community Service Grant Program. More information on the “Give Kids A Smile!” program can be found at online at njda.org/gkas.

MacFarland noted that for Hartman to have served as chief officer for more than 25 years is virtually unheard of— due to the responsibility and stress of the position, most only serve a few years. “That in itself speaks volumes for [his] character and ability to deal with the stress, responsibility and politics of the position,” MacFarland said. MacFarland also said that the actions Hartman took as chief were primarily focused on helping “the guys” do their jobs and helping the public, and that as chief, Hartman also helped keep operations running smoothly between the career and volunteer staff members. As for what’s next, Hartman isn’t sure how he’ll spend much of his new free time. It will certainly be an adjustment for Hartman, who often stopped at the firehouse at least two or three times daily. But it’s something he looks back on fondly, noting he was lucky to have the support of his wife throughout all his years of fire and EMT service. “The experience I had here when I had volunteers and when I switched and became chief of the career staff, it’s been a rewarding experience,” he said. “It’s an experience you can’t just buy, you can’t read about it, you can’t see it on video. It’s difficult to explain, but it’s a personal satisfaction, what I’ve been allowed to do, with support.”

Guys&Dolls

so entangled it took nearly four hours to get the driver out. But the unusual part came when Hartman discovered there were other patients in need of assistance. The driver had been towing several horses and a donkey, and a state trooper approached Hartman to see what should be done about the animals. “Now, I’ve got a guy stuck in a truck and I’ve got horses,” Hartman said. “I went, ‘you know what. Horses are victims, too. I have to call the county.” He made several calls before a vet from Colts Neck showed up to examine and assist the animals. Every one of the patients were fine, and the story had a happy ending, Hartman said. But he’s also seen his share of tragedies that come along with the job. It’s the kind of work, he said, where people either do or don’t accept the kind of situations and realities they’ll encounter on the job. It’s often not something people can learn or teach themselves to accept. “You have tragic stories on the other end where you just come back here (to the firehouse) and look at each other and go, ‘That’s not going to be good,’” he said. “But you have to take the good with the bad.” Hartman’s service and his unique position with the fire company hasn’t gone unrecognized, either.

CODE continued from Page 1 “They were using symbolic language to communicate with their classmates,” Wright said. “That’s how we got everybody doing something.” Wright’s computer classes also participated in coding activities throughout the week, and some students visited the computer lab during their homeroom time to work on activities posted on Code.org. “They want you to do that hour to hopefully inspire kids to go beyond, and that’s exactly what did happen,” Wright said. “There are students that are still, on their own, when they get free time, pursuing it and going beyond the interactive drag and drop kind of coding that they put together, to really learning programming languages at a higher level than what they have available to them in school right now.” Wright submitted her plans to Code.org, and BRMS was selected as the winning school from the state of New Jersey. The school was presented with $10,000 to use toward new technology. The prize money was used to purchase 24 Chromebook computers, two iPads and a 3D printer. Rob Walder, principal of Bordentown Regional High School, was principal at BRMS during the Hour of Code.

He said that when word of the award spread throughout the community, a high school student wanted to congratulate Wright. “It just was in perfect timing for our presentation of the award,” Walder said. “So, he came back and he spoke about how inspired he was by Mrs. Wright last year for the Hour of Code, and how he’s gone on to do web design and things like that. I thought that was pretty amazing and pretty inspirational.” Wright, who has a background in engineering, said that computer education has changed since she began teaching 15 years ago. At the beginning of her career, she remembers instructing students on topics such as Microsoft Office. Today, students have more experience with technology, and are capable of learning more advanced concepts earlier in their educational careers. The technology at BRMS includes the school’s two NAO robots, Sapphire and Ruby, who were named in an online vote during the Hour of Code activities. The robots were sponsored by the Bordentown Community District Alliance, an organization that uses funds raised through program and rental fees to support ini-

Bordentown Regional Middle School won $10,000 from Code.org for their Hour of Code activities in December. tiatives in the schools. Sandy Ewell, director of the Community District Alliance, said that it was rewarding to see the faces of the students light up when interacting with the robots. The robots measure about two feet tall, and can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks, such as speaking, dancing and playing soccer. During the Hour of Code week, they visited the cafeteria during lunch time, so that students could use computer software to program them to perform a variety of commands, such as speaking and waving. “Our students are blessed and very fortunate to have Ms. Wright and Ms. Ewell, who are two individuals that are forward-thinking and very creative,” assistant principal Sam Tola said. The success of the Hour of Code activities has inspired the creation of more programs at BRMS. Recently, Wright established a robotics club, which meets during her lunch period. More than 50 students from across the school’s three grade levels have participated, she said. The students are enthusiastic about brainstorming ideas for the use of the robots, including having them perform a skit in the school’s talent show.

“We have two robots, so hopefully, we can get them to talk to one another and the kids can also take part in that and entertain the rest of the school during our talent show,” Wright said. Wright said that her hope is to have the robots used across the curriculum in the future. For example, they could be programmed to demonstrate a concept in a science class, or even to recite poetry in Language Arts. She has already seen this happen with Scratch, a platform from the MIT Media Lab that students use to create animations. After using Scratch in Wright’s computer class, students have programmed the cartoon characters to present concepts in their science classes. Walder said that the focus on technology in schools is important in today’s world. “It’s tremendously important,” he said. “Everything is funneled through technology nowadays, and the writing of code is critical. Not only are there statistics that show that it helps you think better and on a different level, but all the different applications, apps on phones, that’s all code being written. And thanks to Mrs. Wright and Ms. Ewell, we’re way ahead of the game here in Bordentown.”

City police chief Simmons retires after 30 years’ service By Stacey Pastorella Matthew Simmons III retired as chief of the Bordentown City Police Department on Dec. 31, after 30 years of service in law enforcement, a career he had dreamed of since childhood. “I was given the blessing of being a police officer,” Simmons said. It was watching the police assist residents with problems such as locked cars or medical emergencies that inspired Simmons to dream of a career in law enforcement. “As I grew, I learned to respect police officers. They not only went after the bad guys and arrested the bad guys off the street, but I witnessed them helping people,” Simmons said. “They have a heart, too and people respected them for that.” Simmons began his career in law enforcement in 1984, working as a special officer. He was sponsored to attend the police academy by the Bordentown City Police Department. After a brief stint with the Allentown Borough Police Department, he returned to the Bordentown City Police Department in 1989, where he rose through the ranks. In 2004, he was appointed as acting chief of the Bordentown City Police Department, and he was officially promoted to the position of chief in 2005. “It was a learning process in the beginning for all of us, running a police department,” Simmons said. Simmons praised those he worked with, including his fellow police officers, and deputy mayor, James Lynch. Lynch, who was elected to office in 1989, has known Simmons professionally for about 26 years. “I think his honesty and integrity were second to none,” Lynch said. Lynch praised the way that Simmons was able to stabilize things after becoming chief at an unsettled time in the department’s history. As chief, Simmons oversaw changes to the department, including the acquisition of updated equipment, and the establishment of new training programs. “We both had the same vision of community policing at the level that, today, is common practice,” Lynch said. Lynch said that Simmons worked to establish a police department that was community oriented, and that included elements such as crime watch, interacting with residents, and helping youth. “Together, we were able to establish a

Chief Matthew Simmons III retired from the Bordentown City police force on Dec. 31, 2014. great department,” Simmons said. In his retirement, Simmons plans to make repairs to his home, and to set time aside for hobbies such as fishing and boating. “I just want to enjoy the rest of my life with my friends and family,” he said. Still, Simmons acknowledges that the transition into retirement has not always been easy. “Not putting a uniform on every day, it’s difficult for me right now, because I’ve always just had a passion for law enforcement,” he said. “I miss it every single day and I probably will for a very long time.” When reflecting upon his career, one source of pride for Simmons is the drop in the area’s crime rate that has occurred within the last 10 years. Another component of his legacy, is his son, Matthew Simmons IV, who followed in his father’s footsteps to serve on the Bordentown City Police Department. The younger Simmons is a sergeant who works with the department’s K-9 officer, Terri. Most rewarding, Simmons said, has been the manner in which he was respected by others during his career. “I never demanded respect from anyone. I always earned it, and I was always proud of that,” he said. Fred Miller, a captain prior to Simmons’s retirement, was named chief on Jan. 1.

Family Chiropractors aim to restore patients’ wellness By JeSSica oateS

Dr. Denise Evans knows that being healthy depends on the well-being and harmony of the body, mind and spirit. Since 1991, she has been practicing chiropractic medicine with the goal of achieving whole body wellness in each of her patients. Chiropractic focuses on the body’s healing energy, which flows from the brain down the spinal cord to all parts of the body, enabling it to function. Even a slight interference can be the cause of many health conditions. Evans Family Chiropractors is located in Bordentown, where Evans was born and raised. Her office feels more homey than clinical, the nurturing environment designed to enhance the therapeutic practices her patients rely on her for. “It’s all part of the healing process,” said Evans, emphasizing the importance of getting to know each of her patients individually. “We are more than just physical beings. We each have a history of physical and emotional experiences which all contribute to our health.” That’s why Evans’ practice is designed to address all aspects of well-being.

Dr. Denise Evans sits in the lounge area of her Bordentown City office. (Staff photo by Lexie Yearly.) After graduating from Trenton State College in 1987 with a bachelor’s degree in biology, Evans earned her Doctorate from Life Chiropractic College in

Atlanta, Georgia. She is a member of the NJ Chiropractic Society, International Chiropractic Association, and International Pediatric Association. She

specializes in family chiropractic care for patients of all ages and for a variety of conditions, from young children, to pregnant women, to elderly patients. Evans is also a personal trainer with a background in nutrition. In addition to her chiropractic services, which focus on ensuring optimal connection between brain and body, Evans works closely with massage therapists who offer such services as reflexology, prenatal massages, and Reiki in addition to therapeutic and hot stone massages. Yoga classes are hosted in Evans’ yoga studio—which is connected to her chiropractic office—uniting therapy, exercise and spirituality in the same location for patients seeking total wellness. Her clients are even able to take advantage of hypno-therapy, a service offered in the adjacent office, though not affiliated with her own practice. She hopes to bring a doctor of natural medicine into the picture soon. “I think most people are realizing that our health doesn’t rely on drugs,” Evans said. “People are taking their health into their own hands and exploring more natural forms of medicine. When the nervous system is working properly, usually everything else will be in sync.”

Hannah McIntyre, Evans’ chiropractic assistant, first visited the doctor 19 years ago as a young patient when her parents brought her in for treatment. Since then, Evans has treated McIntyre’s whole family and serves as a mentor for McIntyre, who aspires to follow in her footsteps. In addition to sharing her experience with McIntyre, Evans is a member of the board of the League of Chiropractic Women, an international organization and the first of its kind to support women of the profession. The league’s mission is to inspire and support women in chiropractic to thrive while advancing the principles and practices of chiropractic. It is committed to serving the vitalistic principles of chi-

ropractic as a subluxation focused and drugless profession. Female chiropractic students were a minority when Evans was in school, and because it was a male dominated discipline, female students were obliged to take male mentors. “Men and women tend to approach things differently, and we thought there was a need for an organization to support women in this profession,” Evans said. “The paradigm is shifting, and women are expected to outnumber men in healthcare by 2017.” Evans Family Chiropractors is located at 1 ½ Crosswicks Street in Bordentown.

GIVE YOURSELF A VASCULAR VALENTINE

Local hockey players help team to Youth Cup victory By Samantha Sciarrotta Good things are bound to happen when some of the most talented youth hockey players in the tri-state area come together on a single travel team. And for the Team Comcast AAA 2000’s, that’s exactly what happened. Comcast won the second annual National Hockey League Youth Cup Tournament, held in Pittsburgh for even birth years and in Pennsauken for odd, the weekend of Dec. 12-14. The tournament, hosted by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers, invites AAA youth squads to compete against some of the best teams in the country. Each team is affiliated with an NHL squad, like the Columbus Blue Jacks, the New York Rangers and the Nashville Predators. Team Comcast represents the Flyers. “It felt great to win,” Hopewell Valley Central High School freshman and goalie Matt Sankner said. “We were playing against good teams. When they brought out the trophy, it was really great for the whole team. Everyone was excited. The coaching staff was happy with how we played. It was great.”

The team went 3-1 in round robin play, defeating the Penguins, Islanders and Predators. They lost to the Capitals, but when the two sides met again in the championship game on Dec. 14, Comcast turned it around. “We played well through the round robin until the last game,” said Pat Ferrill,head coach and Comcast-Spectator Vice President of Rink Management and Development. “It was kind of a trap game. We had done well all that day, but we ended up getting shut out. When we played the Caps again, that was our opportunity to show them that the game we played the night before wasn’t really who we were.” Comcast certainly put the pressure on. Ferrill noted that the squad put over 50 shots on goal, and the Caps’ keeper stopped 48 of them. Bordentown City resident and thirdyear team member Donovan McClellan said Team Comcast’s 2002 team won its age group just before the ’00s played their match, so the victory was extra sweet. “The championship was memorable,” he said. “It was pretty cool to see [the ’02s] win, too. It was just a great atmosphere.”

Scotties’ defense key to girls’ basketball success

DGA

By Ken Weingartner

Discover Gymnastics Academy

When it comes to winning, the Bordentown High girls’ basketball team gets defensive. The Scotties, who won six of their first nine games this season and allowed more than 35 points only twice during that span, stress “defensive intensity” first, said head coach Bill Lloyd. “We mix it up,” he said. “We like to press if we think we can take advantage of it. We’ll play man, we’ll play different zones; we try to keep teams on their toes. We’re athletic. When you have five girls that can run, you can press. That helps when you can get easy layups as opposed to having to work for everything and run sets offensively.” Bordentown allowed fewer than 20 points in its first three games—all victories—and yielded an average of 28.9 points per game through its first nine

contests. In the season opener against Maple Shade, the team had its largest margin of victory in a 61-6 win over Maple Shade. “Defense wins games,” sophomore point guard Morgan Papp said. “We work on defense every practice. In games, we just have to get on them. As a point guard, it’s not comfortable to have someone close on me. It’s the same for the other team. If we’re on them, we’re going to force them into mistakes and get turnovers.” Danielle Schenck, a junior forward, reiterated the commitment to defense— even if the action at the other end of the court is more enticing. “Of course, I think anyone is going to want to score; I think that’s everyone’s part of the game that they like,” Schenck said. “But defense wins games. If we get a really good steal, we’re like, ‘We’ve got this.’ It’s like a feel-good moment and gets the adrenaline going.” The 6-3 Scotties had high hopes heading into the season. “We expected to do well this season and next year we’ll do even better,” Papp said. “We’re a young team. Every year we’re just going to take that and build on it.” In addition to playing solid defense, Papp and Schenck have lead the Scotties offensively. Papp is in her first season with the basketball team after spending her freshman year bowling, though she is no stranger to the sport. She has Bordentown Area Basketball Association, AAU and CYO experience. “She’s been our leading scorer in a lot of the games,” Lloyd said. “People told me she was a good player, but that’s all I knew. So it’s been a pleasant surprise, and the fact she’s only a sophomore is even more exciting for us as coaches. She stepped in and is doing a terrific job for us.” And Schenck, he added, is a warrior on the court. “Danielle is playing a big spot, but she’s not really a tall girl, so every night she battles for us,” Lloyd said.

Papp and Schenck are joined in the starting lineup by guard Cait Nitschmann—the only senior in the starting five—and forwards Brianna Pagnani and Brielle Hudik. Of that group, only Nitschmann saw significant time as a starter last season. Morgan Irons, Hannah Gavin and Anna Price all have provided sparks off the bench. “We have a pretty young team,” Lloyd said. “I think we’re growing together as a team and learning how to play together and compete. We play in such a tough division, and when you have young players they have to learn what the league is like and how to compete consistently at that level.” Although the focus is on defense first, Bordentown is capable at the offensive end, too. “We have pretty good shooters on our team and we’re really good with moving the ball,” Schenck said. “We’re seeing the openings and passing when it’s necessary and getting the easy layups. We have a lot of quick girls on our team. If we pass it, we’re going. We drive a lot to the basket.” Many of the girls on the basketball team played sports in the fall, primarily soccer or field hockey, so they are already conditioned. That helped the Scotties hit the court running. “We’re all athletes, we don’t just play basketball. That’s an advantage,” said Papp, who played soccer. “It’s definitely different, but I like to think if you’re in soccer shape, you’re in basketball shape.” If the team continues to be successful, it is likely that its defense and camaraderie will be the keys. “I think in total our team is really close, so we know how each other plays,” Schenck said. “We play really well together. I think that’s our key to success. I didn’t know what to expect this year. I heard a lot of other teams lost some key players, but we did too. I think we’re doing really well.”
