Blue Devils Suffer 71-44 Loss To Plainfield, Linden, 48-47
Handling the big man, 6-10, 255-lb Na Jai Hines turned out to be a very difficult chore for the Westfield High School basketball Blue Devils when they hosted the No. 13 Plainfield Cardinals at Westfield High School on January 7. The 5-4 Blue Devils did, however, manage to hold Hines at bay in the first quarter and even led by three at the half, but the 8-1 Cardinals turned the tables swiftly in the second half and soared to a 71-44 victory. Two days later in Westfield, the Blue Devils were nipped by the Linden Tigers, 48-47.
