Boys Varsity vs Morgan

On Friday the 12th, the 10-5 Devils hosted the 7-7 Huskies of Morgan, and got all that they could handle.

After back and forth first and second periods, Morgan took a 34 27 lead at the half, and pretty much maintained that lead throughout the third period. Just before the end of the third period, a Powers bucket started a 10-0 run for the Devils that saw them go from a 42-51 deficit to a 52-51 lead midway through the fourth period. Five different players contributed to this run. Morgan did come back to go ahead on a three, but a mini 5-0 run again put the Devils ahead, 57-54. Morgan did manage again to tie, on a free throw and a basket, as regulation finished at 57-57.

The overtime started with the Huskies gaining the advantage with a basket a couple of different times. But with the Devils trailing 59-62 with under two minutes left, they put together a 6-0 run to finish the game. Sapia had a nice little dribble drive down the left side of the lane to pull with one, and after Morgan missed two in a row from the line, Jameson hit a jumper from the free throw line to put the Devils up. Morgan missed three chances from the field on their next possession, and it looked like Jameson and Wyskiel combined to get the jump ball on the last attempt. On the Coginchaug inbounds play, Wyskiel went long down the right side, and Sapia hit him right at the three point line for the easy lay-up, for the final margin of 65-62.

Powers led the Devils with 24 points, five rebounds, three assists and a steal. Wyskiel led the team in rebounding with ten, and added six points, three assists and two steals. Jameson scored nine points, and added four rebounds, two assists and a block. Griffin Murphy scored seven, and had five rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block. Jack Murphy scored five, adding four rebounds, two blocks, an assist and a steal. Sapia scored nine points, and added three assists. Judson scored five points, adding three rebounds and two assists.
