Bogota Basketball
28-Feb.-2012
The Bogota Bucs Boys team came from behind to beat the Emerson Cavilers 67-49 in their first round playoff game. The Cavos got a three point bucket as time expired to take a 29- 26 lead into half time. When the Second Half started the Bucs came out hard and did not let-up for the rest of the game. A 28- point Third Quarter made the Emerson lead a distant memory. The Bucs defense stepped up the presser on it's opponent cause a number of turnover ,which Bogota made sure they became points. Supported by the Girls team from the earlier game, and a loud home crowd kept the Bucs running towards a victory.
The emotions of the moment almost became overheated as a reaction to a Emerson foul, but has he told his team ( and everybody in Speary Gym) ... that is not Bogota Basketball, we play hard AND clean.. A message his team understood as they made sure the home crowd was going to go away happy.
When it was time to bring the started to the bench, at the end, a grateful Coach showed his admiration, and love for his team. After a summer when Coach Mahoney may have only been able to watch this game from the other side of the court he pushed his team to a Playoff victory. And the Bucs, as a team, showed their coach how Bogota Basketball should be played.
The Bucs travel to Verona for the second round game on Wed. 29- Feb. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:00p.

Bogota Basketball
28-Feb. 2012
The Bogota Lady Bucs season came to an end yesterday with a 52-46 loss to #11 ranked Boonton Lady Bombers at Speary gym. Bogota had to play catch-up for most of the games as Boonton Sr. Korena Noce was just going to be denied a chance to play another game. The Lady Bucs just could not find time, or space to play their game. However even trailing by double digits in the second half Bogota get their hearts in the game , and slowly started to climb back in. Sr. Jillian Marino put her foot on the gas and lead the charge in the final quarter. Her teammate helped make sure their Captain would finish with a strong game . Marissa Veron contributed a game high 19 points, with Denna Brugger, and Stephanie Perpeaj pressing the Boonton players all over the court. The Lady Bucs forced and grabbed a number of turnover to bring the home crowd to it's feet trying to will the host a surprise finish. But, and emotionally driven Technical Foul, and resulting points was just to high of an hurdle to get over. Even when the Lady Bombers started a slow down offence to kill the clock Bogota still pressured playing a the way until time run out. Not a game to forget about the tears afterwards, but one to be proud of , with the work shown.
Before the game Coach Gaffney presented Sr. Jillian Marino with a ball marking her achievement upon scoring over 1,000 points in her High School career.
