Saints, Pirates and Hoops

The gate of heaven is very low; only the humble can enter it.

So says the founder of the Seton Hall University where Jerry Walker attained prominence during his college basketball playing days, most notably during the 92-93 season during which the Pirates captured the Big East title.

Prior to his days on the South Orange campus, Walker was part of the 1989 St. Anthony Friar national champions, coached by Jersey City legend Bob Hurley. That team’s dominance is still discussed in local gymnasiums and taverns.

Now eyeing a Freeholder seat with the advantage of the county line, Walker makes sense to party bigwigs – he’s a big personality with a local and humble story.
