This was the game of the night, a thrill to watch as both teams battled closely back and forth with many lead changes. Pepperell Recreation started off strongly and was shooting lights out from the field in the first half. Led by Ryan Logan who had 12 points, and the sharpshooting of Zac Saranovitz (nine points), it looked like Pepperell Recreation was going to run away with it. Zac’s brother, Alec, also scored nine points while Larry Colburn added seven. Captain Brian Saranovitz had five points and a handful of rebounds.
Not until recovering from a cold first half did Adam Garabedian change that. He was on fire in the second half and ended the game with 28 points. Dom Feralito had nine points and a chance to dunk, but couldn’t finish. Captain Joe Bisbo added a solid eight points and grabbed a few boards. Adam Codyer, Keith Briggs and Jimmy Williams added two points each. Jeff O’Connor provided moral support for his team and hopefully will be back in action soon.
Ten Broeck Ins. 33
Hegarty & Sons 26
Captain Scott Miln scored four points and showed some great team management to lead Ten Broeck Insurance. Leading scorers Jon Quigley, Scott Cobleigh and Phil Aiello all finished with five points and each hit a three-pointer. The game was a bit sloppy but things started to click for Ten Broeck Insurance in the second half. Steve Vanwormer pulled in a few key rebounds.
Hegarty & Sons was led by the Proctor brother combination of Josh (eight) and Mark (seven). Nick Morgan scored five points and had a few key blocks. Pat Collins, Matt Collins and Bobby Hegarty showed great hustle. Things were going well in the first half for Hegarty & Sons, but in the second half the game slipped out of their reach.
