A New Era for Plainfield Basketball
Plainfield, New Jersey’s boys basketball program has announced Todd Decker as its new head coach, tapping a veteran strategist who has previously led Roselle Catholic, The Patrick School and St. Peter’s Prep.
Decker succeeds Mike Gordon Jr., who after eight seasons stepped down with a 117‑77 record and two consecutive Group 4 state titles, the most recent culminating in a 27‑4 finish and a No. 3 state ranking in the 2025 Massey poll.
The Plainfield squad capped the winter with a second straight Group 4 championship, finishing the season ranked third in New Jersey and poised for another strong campaign under new leadership.
Micah Gordon's Next Chapter
Micah Gordon, the program’s all‑time leading scorer with 1,841 points, will continue his senior year at Geneva (Ohio) SPIRE Academy, where he joins a national‑level roster that has already placed him among the state’s top prospects.
Rivals’ industry rankings list him as the top player in New Jersey, eleventh at his position and thirty‑eighth nationally, underscoring the excitement surrounding his next step.
Coach Decker will now look to blend the experience of a championship‑laden roster with fresh talent, aiming to maintain Plainfield’s prominence in the state and beyond.
