PRINCETON – Next year, Princeton and Sherrard will compete against each other when they join the Three Rivers Conference. This year, they were just distant opponents with no knowledge of each other coming into Tuesday’s game at Prouty Gymnasium.

With a distance of 70 miles apart and Rockridge being their only common opponent, Princeton got the upper hand this time by taking command of the game early and never trailing in a 54-41 victory.

“We didn’t know anything about them,” said Princeton assistant coach Michael Fredericks, speaking for head coach Jesse Brandt. “It’s tough, they are about an hour and 15 minutes away. I know in practice this week, Jesse said we were just going to go out and play. That is what we did.”
