POMFRET, Conn. – February 17, 2024 – Thirds Basketball improved its season mark to 6-4 with a 40-32 road win over the Rectory School on Saturday afternoon.

Eaglebrook upped its advantage to 11 by the end of the third quarter before Rectory mounted a comeback attempt that brought them to within two.
