The Jefferson girls basketball team fell to Ocean City Sunday 60-37 in the State Group 3 Finals. The Falcon girls ended their season with a 23-8 record.
Poor shooting in the opening quarter doomed the Falcons as they went only one for 11 from the field in the opening frame, missing their first 10 shots. Down by 11 points at the end of the first quarter the Falcons were never able to recover.
Junior guard Imani Brown led the Falcons with 22 points. Senior Kristen Swerzenski chipped in 8 points and led the team with 7 rebounds.

Really poor choice of a headline. And the score was 50-37, not 60. Please get your information right.

Dear Jefferson Patch.. Are you kidding??? This is what and how you chose to report to the community of Jefferson?? Better to have continued to not write anything than this… Was anyone even there from the Patch?? Doubt it… Not one article or mention for the whole season and this is what the Lady Falcons get from you.. Instead of making them feel good about themselves for making it to the NJ STATE FINALS, which they should be very proud.. they get this… Way to support local athletes.. Not to mention the fact that this year the Varsity Girls and Boys were Freedom Conference Champs.. not ever mentioned.. The Varsity Ladies win the Group 3 Sectionals against teams that were supposed to beat them.. no mention.. Not even a mention in 3 months that the Freshman Girls were undefeated with a record of 16-0 record. The Freshman Boy 12-6 JV Boys 16-5 It was an outstanding year for Jefferson Basketball and you reported none of it.. pitiful.. You had the chance to make a lot of young people feel very proud of themselves and you supported and wrote about none of them.. Nice Job.. (Jeff is right you can't even get the score correct)

Ever since Sue Toth stopped reporting The Jefferson Patch has gone downhill. Headlines stay up for days, most of the time nothing local. I used to read The Patch daily now once a week is more than enough.

I was at Sundays game(doubt anyone from Patch was) The girls fought hard and came up a little short. There are close to 100 schools playing in Group III and The Lady Falcons made it to the final 2. Not to shabby.
Congrats to all the girls Coach O and his staff on a GREAT season
SECTION 1 Group !!! State Champs
