The Mainland Mustangs boys' basketball program has a new all-time leading scorer.
Somers Point native Cohen Cook became the scorer all-time leading scorer during the team's 51-37 playoff win over Delsea to advance to the South Jersey Group III semifinals.
Cook scored on a layup with 5:11 left in the first quarter of the game to score his 1,753rd point in a Mainland uniform, passing Joseph “Skip” Castaldi's 1,752 which was set in 1965.

On the baseball team, he has been one of the team's top pitchers and outfielders and will be a part of the Mustangs baseball team again this spring.
Cook will go down as one of the most accomplished three-sport athletes in Mainland history and is heading to the University of New Hampshire to play football in the fall.
