Pinelands avoid Cavs in playoffs

IT’S PINELANDS vs Cougars.
Again!
Ramon Simmons hit a career-best ten treys, as Smalta Pinelands set up a first-round series against Cougars after routing them 111-50 in Tuesday’s Co-operators General Insurance Basketball Premier League season finale at the Wildey Gym.
Simmons finished with a game-high 33 points while Jeremy Gill had a triple-double of 27 points, 12 assists and ten steals to ensure the Pine avoided an unfavourable matchup with Station Hill Cavaliers, the only team to have beaten them this year.
The league-leading Pinelands will open the postseason against Cougars at the same venue tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. while defending champs Lumber Company LSC take on Cavs later in the teams’ fifth playoff series in eight seasons. (JM)
