Thirds Basketball v. Wilbraham & Monson
Thirds Basketball came up short against Wilbraham Monson Academy on the road on Saturday in a 48-32 final to end the three-game week on a damp note.
The Brookies opened the contest with a lineup that was missing a regular starter inside the paint which took its toll early as Wilbraham Monson pounced the ball inside with great success to build a 10-2 lead.
Even though Eaglebrook managed to find its shooting range later in the first half with a pair of three-pointers to open up the Wilbraham Monson defense, it was not nearly enough to compensate for the home hosts' inside dominance to enjoy a 26-12 advantage at the half.
A 6-0 run in favor of the home squad to start the second half following a short halftime intermission would widen the deficit to 20 for the Brookies who switched to a full-court press to create several turnovers. But it was too little too late as they fell short by 16, in the end, to lose the match long before the final buzzer.
