Matthews Scores 1,000th Point

Farmingdale State 7-footer A.J. Matthews honored before Tuesday's regular season home finale.

A.J. Matthews continued to add to his Farmingdale State legacy. The senior from Brooklyn recently became the fifth Rams men’s basketball player this century to reach 1,000 career points.

Matthews, playing in just his second season with the Rams, reached the mark in a 62-49 win over Mount Saint Vincent.

He was honored before Tuesday’s regular season home finale against Yeshiva. Coach Erik Smiles presented the 7-foot-1 star with a personalized ball.

Matthews was named co-Skyline Player of the Week Monday, the sixth time this season.

He is currently fifth all-time for career points and second all-time in rebounds.

Hate to sound like an old woman, but when it was Von Leeson's it was always a joy to be there. AllRead More the staff had been there for years and treated the customers like family. Food was consistently good and they never "ran out" of anything. This place shouldn't be open for business. The poor kid waiting on us last time had to come to me and tell me they had no dessert to have with coffee other than ice cream. We left him a nice tip and I told him to find a job somewhere else; he'd never make any money there. It's a great location. We just need some smart business people to run it!

The young man server was doing his best, but still eggs, potatoes, and hash, no potatoes come, begged for coffee refills, ketchup was the very bottom of a heinz bottle. The excuse was sorry we have a new cook,..something tells me that aint the only problem, how does one screw up breakfast. Sorry wont be going back any time soon, unless I see a new mngment or new owner sign.
