- Attleboro Rallies to Beat Canton
Attleboro 44
(5)Canton 42
Sometimes defense
can be a team’s best offense. Attleboro found themselves down 17 points in the
second half and then executed a half court, trapping defense that caused
turnovers that were cashed in for transition buckets en route to a two-point
victory, 44-42.
“A steal by Desmond
Woodson and pass and basket by Kyle Marrapese gave us 42-41 lead with 45
seconds left,” explained Attleboro coach Mark Houle.
Point guard Mason
Houle then went on to hit two foul shots with 15 seconds to give Attleboro a 44-41
lead. Canton hit a foul shot with three seconds left to make it 44-42 and
then tried to intentionally miss the second one but was called for a lane
violation resulting in a final of 44-42.
“Proud of the
defensive effort in the second half limiting Canton to 11 points and no
second chance points,” said Houle.
David Santiago,
Kevin Velasquez and Tyler Churchill all played well on both ends of the
court. Point guard Mason Houle controlled the pace of the game,
dished out several assists to go along with critical foul shots at the end of
the game.
- Easton Outlasts Southboro
(15)Easton 52
(14)Southboro 44
The Easton boys traveled to Southboro in a battle of evenly
matched teams. Easton came out the gate with tenacious defense that limited
Southboro to only three first quarter points which enabled Easton to grab an
11-point halftime edge.
That lead was short lived as Southboro cut that deficit to
three points in the third quarter, but Easton’s depth and balance was too much
for the home team to overcome.
Chris Pearsons, Sean O’Brien, Tim Kemp and Jake Erlich all
scored double digits for Easton in the win.

Wareham was led by Justin Lopes’s 23 points. Connor Walsh
added 15 points in the win.
