Brunswick Comes Back to Beat the Hornets 60-55
The Hamden Hall defense played a great first half making their opponent work hard and struggle at both ends of the court that resulted in a 29 to 20 half time lead for the Hornets. T.J Rountree, Kyle Smith and Andrew Rice led the first half with 12,7 and 7 points respectfully.
But the second half was different much different. The defense gave up 40 points and our offense only scored 26 points led by Andrew Rice who dropped in half with 13 points. Turnovers and poor decisions hurt the Hornets as they fueled the Bruins come back.
Mid-way in the second half Brunswick went on a 17-0 run even with the Hornets calling two time outs and tied the game 36 to 36 with less than eight minutes to go in the game.
With 2 minutes left in the game Brunswick had a three point lead 52-49 after Dan Draffan made one of two foul shots. Hamden Hall couldn’t break the three point lead as they pressured Brunswick who was now playing for a home playoff berth.
Brunswick scored 24 baskets, (7 three pointers) and 6/7 from the foul line, while Hamden Hall was 18 baskets (6 Three Pointers) and 13/20 from the foul line.

Record
12-6 (7-4 League)
All 8 teams qualify for Fairchester Playoff Tournament and with three games left for Hamden Hall (7-4) and Brunswick (6-5) winning will clearly affect the seeding, which means play at home vs going on the road for a game.
With the exception of the undefeated St Luke’s Second, Third, Fourth and Fifth place are still not determined. Within the week we will know where everyone stands for the playoffs.
If Mother Nature cooperates the league schedule should be completed for all of the teams this coming week. Playing a Home game is within our control.
