Irvington senior Janasia Wilson, left, and Irvington alum Tammy Hammond are shown on Saturday, Jan. 6, when Irvington beat Belleville. Hammond is the No. 1 all-time scorer in Irvington girls program history and Wilson is No. 3 on the list, with close to 1,500 points. They are standing in the IHS gym, in front of the banner with the all-time girls basketball scorers. The banner will be updated with Wilson’s name after the season.

IRVINGTON, NJ — The Irvington High School girls basketball team, under head coach Brett Cannon, defeated Belleville, 35-30, Saturday, Jan. 6, at home for its fourth win in a row to improve to 7-1 overall and 4-0 in the Super Essex Conference–Independence Division.

During the game, the Blue Knights wore throwback uniforms with the old nickname “Campers.”

In addition, members of the 1985 Irvington girls basketball team were in attendance. The 1985 team won the Group 4 state championship.
