 WILKES-BARRE - Wilkes University men's basketball was dealt a blow on
Thursday when school officials announced Brad Sechler will no longer be with
the team. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sechler, a 6-foot-5 senior forward, played in nine games, starting three.
He did not play after the Christmas break and was hampered with knee and ankle
injuries, but left the team for what school officials said were personal
reasons. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Sechler had been a valuable asset off the bench for the Colonels the past
three seasons. He was known for his deadly 3-point shooting ability, hitting
at 46.1 percent for his career. He averaged 9.1 points and 3.4 rebounds per
game this season. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Passaic 95, LCCC 56 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 NANTICOKE - Kendal Barnes (18 points), Paul Vercerkauskas (12) and Mike
Froelick (12) led the way for the TrailBlazers in defeat. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 LCCC fell to 4-8 and plays at Union tomorrow. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Keystone 87, Raritan Valley 60 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 LAPLUME - Lamont Jones led all scorers with 24 points and Juwan Davis added
16 as host Keystone College won in a rout. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
