SEVENTH GRADE BOYS DROP THIRD STRAIGHT

December 19, 2007

By Coach Adam Manzo

Rough times have fallen upon the 7th grade boys team as they dropped their third game in a row to Mahoney, 50-41.  Like the previous three games, the boys played a solid first half and maintained a lead heading into halftime.

Nate Sawyer, Calvin Field, Christian Coons, Brad Carpentier, and Joe Francoeur were the starters in the first quarter.  Scoring was spread across the board as four of the six players to play put points on the board, including two great shots and solid play from Nate Sawyer.  The starters in the second quarter consisted of Spencer Noel, Hawreh Haddadi, Jordin Allen, Gabe Purves, and Shawn Francoeur, with Cole Moran and Dylan Weisser coming off the bench.  There was much of the same in the second as five of the seven players scored.  "I was very pleased with the way we came out in the first half.  Even though we only had a three point lead, I thought we played pretty solid basketball.  We had excellent balance," said Coach Manzo. 

The second half was a different story.  The boys were outscored 14-4 in the third quarter and had a difficult time solving the half court zone Mahoney was playing.  "The past three games have been real hard to swallow.  We have played very well for the first 14 minutes; go into halftime with a lead, then come out flat footed in the third and fourth quarters.  In each of the games, there has been one quarter where we simply cannot get anything going offensively, and when the offense isn't clicking it has a serious affect on our defense.  We become lackadaisical when we aren't scoring and good teams will exploit that, which is exactly what has happened the last three games,"

said Coach Manzo.  Mahoney's shining star was #13, who had a game high

21 points, including 12 in the fourth quarter alone.

The school season will be on hiatus until January 7th at 3:30, when the boys will get back into action at home against a very good Lyman Moore team.  In the meantime, you can catch them playing in the 2007 Holiday Hoops Tourney in Scarborough on December 26th and 27th.  The first game will be at 8:00 a.m. versus Gorham, followed by a 10:30 a.m. match-up with Massabesic.  The opponents for December 27th will depend on how the boys fair on their first day.  Other 7th grade teams competing in the tournament are Lyman Moore, York, and Scarborough.  Good luck boys!
