RIDGEWOOD — Tuesday’s victory could be summed up in one word: sweet.
The Ridgewood girls volleyball team had plenty to celebrate after gaining its 600th all-time win on Tuesday. The Maroons also beat Paramus in game one of Wednesday’s rivalry match before falling, 2 games to 1.
The Ridgewood High School girls volleyball team went on the road to defeat Memorial of West New York, 25-7, 25-14, and record the 600th victory in program history, becoming the seventh New Jersey team to reach that milestone.
The Maroons’ post-match reward? Bubblegum.
“The kids brought out a blue bag, and I’m wondering, ‘What the heck’s in this thing?’” RHS head coach Ron Knott recalled the following day. “And they pulled out a jar with 600 gumballs in it. There aren’t 600 anymore,” he added with a smile.
