Boys Basketball Survive Dragon Scare

        Boys Varsity Basketball team hit the road to do battle with FAA league rival Greens Farms Academy, and earned a gutty win 63-60.  After a slow start offensively for the Hornets and a red hot shooting performance by the host Dragons, who consistently made deep threes throughout, the game became a shootout battle of wills. Byron Breland and Tim Dawson really stepped up big for the Hornets in the second half and took the game over. Dawson finished as leading scorer with 18 points and came up with two huge steals in the last minute of the game. With ice in his veins, his clutch free throws then sealed the game for the Hornets and quenched the Dragons' fire. Breland finished with 17 points, also hitting many clutch shots, while senior Andrew Rice posted another tremendous defensive night and was a warrior on the glass at both ends of the court. Christian Adams ended with 10 points and 10 rebounds. After the game, Coach Sean Doherty commented, “ I was very proud of our guys tonight in the second half, staying focused and making some big plays when needed. Tim Dawson was huge for us and college coaches need to start taking notice because he is playing great.“ The team in now 11-1 in the Fairchester League and 16-4 overall. They return to action on Friday evening at home against King School from Stamford at 4:00.
