Wildwood\’s Latifah McNeal is known around the Tri-County Conference as a basketball player who is difficult to stop in the paint.
McNeal, a senior center, lived up to that reputation yesterday at Gloucester when she scored on a layup at the buzzer to lead Wildwood to a 41-39 upset of the host Lions in an NJSIAA South Group 1 semifinal.
Wildwood (19-7), the fourth seed, will meet second-seeded Salem for the South Jersey Group 1 title tomorrow at 6 p.m. at Southern Regional High.
McNeal, who scored nine points and grabbed 13 rebounds, was swarmed by her teammates after she led them to their first victory over their Classic Division rival in three tries this season.
