Samec played in national tourney

JB Hoops alum Josh Samec had his busiest and most productive game of the season for West Chester University in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II men’s basketball tournament.

The 6-foot-7 forward from Hazleton Area played sparingly as a freshman until the Division II Atlantic Regional game when he got in a season-high 19 minutes. He went 2-for-6 on 3-point attempts and hit season-highs in points (six) and rebounds (two) while also blocking a shot.

Samec scored 14 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in 11 games for the Golden Rams.

Ian Langendoerfer, another JB Hoops alum, was also a member of the team.
