Big Overtime Win over Brooks

Peter Fry
Our Boys' Thirds Basketball team played an exciting game this afternoon on our home court against Brooks, winning 40-34 in overtime. We had some difficulty in the first half adjusting to Brooks's zone defense, but once we figured out how to move the ball more quickly and wait for the right shot opportunities, we gradually built some offensive momentum. Everyone on our team contributed to this victory, either by hustling on defense, grabbing rebounds, scoring points, or setting picks. Alex Brown had a big second half, scoring ten points after halftime and ending up with a cool dozen for the game. Luke Romano played really well under the rim and was stellar at the free-throw line, making all four of his attempts. Ziggy Bereday scored seven points, including a huge three-pointer in the second half that gave us the lead at a critical point. Malcolm Fry contributed nine points to the cause, including five second half free throw points that made a big difference when it really mattered. Other scorers included Noah Bay (3 points), Jack Wang (1 point), Josh Golden (2 points), and Kyle Toce (2 points). We appreciated the support of the JV Girls' Basketball squad as they waited for our game to finish!
