It was one of the most ridiculous but fun events I have been to as a reporter. Last Saturday was International Pillow Fight Day, and thousands of people celebrated it with a huge pillow fight in Union Square Park. Watch the video below. It's crazy! (Also, I apologize for the mic cable sticking out in the corner of the screen on some shots. My camera was getting bashed around, so I didn't notice it until we got back to edit!

PS: No one was hurt during the event.

Bergen County Girls Tournament Bracket
It's official. The 2008 Bergen County girls basketball tournament brackets are in. The Womens Coaches Association met at the Iron Horse in Westwood. Here is what they came up with. Not many surprises. Pascack Valley gets the #1 seed over I-H-A, even though I-H-A beat them a week ago by one point. The reason may have been that I-H-A lost to Montclair this past week, and that dropped them to #3 in the tournament.

Leonia Bowler "Junior" Bowls 300
Congratulations to Leonia High School bowler Lawrence Jackson Jr. On Tuesday, he bowled a perfect game (300) at Wallington Lanes. For those of you who don't know, Junior is the youngster who I bowled in my latest challenge a few weeks ago. Junior is the anchor of his bowling team and was in action today against Weehawken. He shot a 190 and a 217 today and Leonia cruised to another victory.
Should be interesting when the Lions go face to face with New Milford, another very good bowling team in the BCSL Olympic.

Indian Hills Holiday Tournament First Round Recap
Dixon, Queen of Peace Tops Ramapo
Merry Christmas... two words you hear during the holiday season. For Queen of Peace, their favorite two words are Bilal Dixon. The big fella led all scorers with 25 points en route to the Griffins 73-51 rout of Ramapo in the first round of the Indian Hills Holiday Basketball Festival. Queen of Peace also got clutch guard play from Dwayne Moffatt. He added 15 in the win.
Ramapo was outplayed but kept things close thanks to good shooting from junior Eric Halejian. He finished with a team high 15 points. Peter Garrambone chipped in 10.
Queen of Peace is scheduled to play the St. Joseph's Green Knights, a four-peat champion of the Indian Hills tournament in the semi-finals on Friday.

St. Joe's Regional Passes Passaic Tech
With four minutes to go, Larry Burroughs and the Passaic Tech Bulldogs held a five-point lead over the St.Joseph's Green Knights. But the four-peat Indian Hills Holiday Tournament champions were not about to go down without a fight. With one minute left, senior Marvin Fulford scored, knotting the game at 60. After some clutch free throw shooting, the Green Knights pulled out the victory 65-62. Hakeem Williams led with 21. Fulford had 11.
Passaic Tech's Larry Burroughs led all scorers with 23 and Maynard Freeman had 13, including a buzzer beater at the end of the first half to keep Passaic Tech in the game.
St. Joe's will have to figure out a way to contain Queen of Peace's Bilal Dixon as the two powerhouses will meet in the semi-finals Friday.

Bergen Catholic Beats Buzzer and Kennedy
The Bergen Catholic Crusaders are one of the top basketball teams in Bergen County, but someone forgot to pass the memo to the Kennedy Knights. Kennedy matched Bergen Catholic shot for shot, until the final 9 seconds of the game. Crusader senior point guard Dan Marconi drove to the hoop, put up a shot, and as the ball rolled off, Colin Lewis was there to clean it up at the buzzer for the win. Bergen Catholic beat kennedy 51-49. Jon Rigg had 15 points to lead the Crusaders and Lewis, while only scoring 6 points, made the biggest shot of the game.
Kennedy was led by Quadir Leary with 11 and senior LaQuan Peterkin had 10.

Englewood Needs OT to Beat Indian Hills
The Englewood Maroon Raiders came out firing against Indian Hills, holding a comfortable 17-4 lead early. The Braves battled back behind Justin VanGroww who scored more than 30 points and send the game into overtime. That's when Englewood took over, going on a 7-0 run that led to a 75-69 win. Englewood's big man Dante Drakeford had a tough time defending VanGroww, but made up for it on offense, making bug shots down the stretch.
