The Big Blue, who are fighting for a playoff berth, came out on fire and did not look back. Gloucester falls to 1-15 with the loss and got good games from Jason Vizena (15 points), Kyle Lucido (eight points) and Freshman Drew Muniz (six points). Gloucester was also playing without all of its size as David St. Peter and Drew Shairs each missed the game due to an illness.
