Boys Varsity vs Valley

On Wednesday, December 23rd, the boys hosted the Warriors of Valley Regional. They carried a seven point lead at the half, and still maintained a four point lead entering the final period.

With four and a half minutes left to go, they were ahead by six, when a charging call wiped out a basket that would have extended the lead to eight, and gave the Warriors new life.

Valley hit the first of three three-pointers with just under three minutes left, but the Devils led by three, and two straight buckets by Coginchaug extended the lead to seven, 53-46, with two minutes remaining.

But bad shot selection and turnovers doomed the Devils, as the Warriors hit two more threes to draw within one, finally taking the lead on a short jumper with 40 seconds remaining. Unfortunately for Devil fans, they could not get a clean look at the basket as the clock wound down, and Valley came away with a come-from-behind 53-52 victory.

Cam Powers led the Devils with 14 points, with Jack Murphy had nine, and Hunter Jameson scored eight. Kyle Judson, Griffin Murphy and Kyle Wyskiel each scored six, with Judson leading the team in assists with six, and Murphy and Wyskiel splitting the rebounding lead with four.

Kelvin Peterson and Nash Eppard each scored 11 for Valley, with Colin Sparaco adding ten.
