– Ever since earning a spot off the bench for Garfield as
a freshman, Richie Colon has defied the odds. Listed now at a
generous 5-foot-7, the junior guard is often the smallest guy
on the court. But if there is one thing that Colon proved on Sunday,

27 points as Garfield, the No. 11 seed, won its first Bergen County
Jamboree game in 11
