Rex stands tall as Prep overtakes Bridgeton, 72-64 “I was determined to grab rebounds in Bill Fahber’s absence. I had to sit out three minutes of the second quarter because of foul trouble and coach told me not to worry about scoring, just to get all the rebounds I could get.” St. Augustine Prep’s Raheem Rex By TOM GANTERT, Staff Writer RICHLAND – St. Augustine Prep basketball coach Paul Rodio would have been happy with just the rebounds. Raheem Rex gave him more. The 6-foot-6 Rex scored 14 points and had 13 rebounds Monday to lift St. Augustine to a 72-64 victory over Bridgeton in a Cape- Atlantic League National Division game. The Prep, 13-5, has to rely on Rex more for his rebounding since it lost 6-foot-7 Bill Fahber to an injury. St. Augustine can pick up the scoring slack with its smaller guards. “Raheem was the difference on the boards,” said Rodio. “Now that we don’t have the big kid, we need rebounding. Raheem can do both (rebounding and scoring). I think he’ll have to in big games.” St. Augustine rebounded from a one-point halftime deficit to outscore Bridgeton 37-28 in the second half. St. Augustine’s Bob Hennessy scored 10 points in the third quarter, including three 3-pointers. Hennessy finished with 14 points. The Prep’s Matt Miles, who had a team-high 17 points, scored seven points in the final quarter. “I was determined to grab rebounds in Bill Fahber’s absence..” Rex said. “I had to sit out three minutes of the second quarter because of foul trouble and coach told me not to worry about scoring, just to get all the rebounds I could get.” Bridgeton, 9-8, was led by Dwayne Robinson, who finished with 19 points. Terrence Hester fought foul trouble all night and eventually fouled out. He scored 12 points, but only took four shots in the second half. The Prep took the lead for good with 2:36 left in the third quarter when Hennessy hit his third 3-pointer to make it 48- 47. Matt Hufty scored and Brendan Fagan added a basket to give St. Augustine a 53-49 lead after three quarters. C.A. National Basketball archive – S.A. 1992
