TEANECK -- Welcome to The NJS.com Audio Spotlight.

Joining us today is Ramapo girls basketball coach Sandy Gordon, whose team knocked off High Point, 44-33, in the quarterfinals of the North 1, Group 3 state sectional tournament.

It was the first game that the Green Raiders played since they won the girls basketball program's first-ever Bergen County championship last Sunday and they had to shake off the euphoria of that and dive right back into tournament play.

Ramapo, the No. 2 seed, was led by 14 points from sophomore point guard Sarah Halejian with 10 of those coming in the second half, while senior Ana Drehwing carried the offense early and finished with 12 points. Ramap will host No. 10 Wayne Hills, an upset winner over No. 3 Lakeland, in the sectional semfinals on Saturday.
