The West Essex Girls Senior Recreation Basketball League (7th and 8th Grade) were also awarded the championship for their league as the Roseland Fever triumphed over Fairfield by a score of 37-19.

“We often honor youth sports teams at our council meetings on winning their respective championship, but to have three teams on the same night, on the same court, in back-to-back games all win championships is rare,” said Roseland Mayor James R. Spango.

Photo“Youth sports aren’t only about winning, they instill teamwork, discipline, commitment and teach our children how to deal with disappointment and overcome challenges. We congratulate all the players and coaches on a successful and rewarding season in all aspects of sportsmanship.”

The Borough is proud of the achievement and success that these three teams have had this season and hope that they and their families are proud of the outcome their hard work has afforded them.
