Rally comes up short for Pioneers GIRLS BASKETBALL By Mike Alongi LYNNFIELD — The Lynnfield girls basketball team went on a third-quarter rally and made a game of it back on Jan. 12, but the Pioneers simply couldn’t sustain the run for long enough in a 52-40 loss to Cape Ann League foe Amesbury at Lynnfield High School. “The girls fought hard and really made a great run there in the second half, but it’s tough to sustain runs against a team that’s so much bigger than you,” said Lynnfield coach Susan Breen. “The girls are getting better and I think our defense was really good for the most part, but we just need to be more consistent on the offensive end.” Abby Adamo led the way for the Pioneers with 11 points and eight rebounds in the loss, while Isabella George was close behind with nine points and two rebounds. Maggie Ozanian added six points and six rebounds, while Taylor Valiton had six points and three rebounds. Lucy Cleary notched five points and five rebounds, Jaelynn Moon finished with three points and two rebounds and Ava Gamache notched five rebounds. The Pioneers didn’t get off to a great start, falling behind 8-0 in the opening minutes and not scoring its first basket until there were four minutes left in the quarter. After Lynnfield battled back to within four, Amesbury went on a run to close the quarter and take a 16-8 lead. Things didn’t go much better in the second, as the Pioneers continued to struggle making shots against the taller Amesbury defenders. When halftime rolled around, Lynnfield trailed the Indians by a score of 27-14. But things flipped in the third quarter, mainly behind a number of great defensive sequences from the Pioneers. Lynnfield was able to creep right back into the game, and after Adamo knocked down a critical 3-pointer with two minutes to go in the quarter, the Pioneers were only down 34-29. Amesbury took that fivepoint lead into the final quarter and never let Lynnfield get close again. The Pioneers also chose the worst time to go ice-cold from the field, not making their first basket until there was 2:10 on the clock. Amesbury, on the other hand, got red-hot and never looked back, coasting to a 12-point victory. “It’s tough to sustain those runs against a team that good,” said Breen. “We just didn’t make enough shots out there. If some of those shots go in, maybe it turns out differently.” Lynnfield (1-5) returns to the court Friday evening (5:30) at home against Triton. “We’re playing really well right now despite our record, and I think we’re really building up to something great,” said Breen. “We’re going to come right back out (Wednesday) and try to put together another good effort.”

Lynnfield can’t get it going in loss to Amesbury BOYS BASKETBALL By Mike Alongi The Lynnfield boys basketball team couldn’t quite get its offense going Tuesday evening, falling to Cape Ann League foe Amesury by a score of 74-57 on the road. Despite the loss, the Pioneers got strong games from Gavin Deluties (14 points) and Zach Pincus (12 points). Alex Fleming notched a double-double in the loss, finishing with 10 points and 14 rebounds. Lynnfield (1-4) plays on the road at Triton Friday evening (6:30). Spartans hold off stubborn Bishop Fenwick GIRLS BASKETBALL By Steve Krause PEABODY — Now this was a basketball game. You had two teams playing uptempo hoops, running up and down the court, getting in each other’s way, fouling like crazy — especially in the second half — and competing from the opening tap to the closing horn. And the final score was absolutely reflective of the game — the St. Mary’s girls defeated Bishop Fenwick, 66-64. The game came down to the last seconds, let alone the last minute. With 2:39 to go, the Spartans led by 12 (59-47) but the Crusaders wouldn’t quit. That’s when they ripped off nine straight points, punctuated by a from-the-parking-lot 3-pointer by Erica Lendall (one of three late-game treys). “Up by 12 at that point, I’d have hoped we could have closed it out, but we couldn’t,” said St. Mary’s coach Jeff Newhall. “But that’s what they do. They’re an excellent team. One of the best teams in the state. So to beat them at their place, I’ll take it.” Niya Morgen broke the run with a bucket with 1:13 to go, but Fenwick continued its longrange shooting with Olivia Found pouring one in from beyond the arc, and all of a sudden it was 61-59 with just under one minute to go. Yirsy Queliz, one of a trio of Spartans with 17 points (Morgen and Kellyn Preira the others), sank two foul shots to put the lead back up to four for St. Mary’s. From there, each team turned the ball over — Fenwick’s coming with 27.6 seconds left. Morgen hit one of two free throws, but Found was back on the other end with two from the line. Morgen again hit one of two before Lendall was back with another three, and with 11.8 seconds showing on the clock it was a one-point game (65-54). Preira hit one of two from the line, but Fenwick, in an attempt to throw a home-run pass, overshot the runway and the ball whipped off the back wall. With 1.8 seconds left. All St. Mary’s had to do was lob the ball down the court and gain possession of it, which it did, and the game finally ended. “We have to start better,” said Fenwick assistant coach Dave Harrington, acting in the absence of head coach Adam DeBaggis. “We had a little trouble getting going offensively, and that hurt us tonight.” Fenwick also ran into some hard luck late in the game when Cecilia Kay, who had a gamehigh 21 points and was a presence on both ends of the floor, cramped up and had to leave the game with under two minutes to go. “She’s very active,” said Harrington. “It was a shame we lost her.” Neither team could get too far away from the other. After a quarter it was 17-13, St. Mary’s, and the Spartans led, 29-23 at the break., It looked as if St. Mary’s would put some distance between itself and Fenwick in the third quarter, going up by 11 (40-2). But a 9-0 Crusader run catapulted them right back into the game. Found ended up with 15 points for Fenwick while Maria Orfanos had 11. Fenwick (5-3) will play Friday evening (6:30) on the road at Cathedral.

For Fenwick, Mike Yentin led the way with 15 points and nine rebounds. Nick Bowers added a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds, while Che Hanks finished the night with nine points and five rebounds. Gianni Mercurio (six points, 11 rebounds) and Jason Romans (five points, seven rebounds) also played well in the loss. “In the end, it all came down to execution,” said Fenwick coach Kevin Moran. “We knew that if we came out and turned the ball over, we’d have a hard time winning this game. St. Mary’s did a great job of pressuring us, and we just didn’t a 7-5 victory over St. John’s (Shrewsbury) in a inaugural Catholic Conference Showcase at Canton Ice House. Lynnfield native Christian Rosa scored two goals for the Eagles in the win, while fellow Lynnfield native Tommy Sarni handle it very well.” It started off as a defensive struggle for both teams, as Fenwick had just barely clawed to a 7-5 lead six minutes into the game. But after Barry hit a 3-pointer down the stretch for the Spartans, St. Mary’s led 8-7 after one quarter. The second quarter is where things started tilting the Spartans’ way. After not scoring a point in the first quarter, Brown exploded for 10 second-quarter points to help the Spartans race out to a double-digit lead. By the time the halftime buzzer sounded, St. Mary’s held a 30-19 lead. Things didn’t change much from there, as the Spartans began to heat up from behind the arc in the third quarter and stretched their lead even further. St. Mary’s led by 15 points at the end of the third quarter and stretched its lead to as many as 21 points before eventually settling for the 19-point victory. In the end, depth certainly played into the Spartans’ hands. added one goal. Cam Umlah scored his first career goal, while Ben McGilvry and Jake Vana each scored one goal. Theo Vetere had one assist in the victory. St. John’s Prep (7-1-0) travels to Reading Thursday (7:45). St. Mary’s played eight players for more than 10 minutes each, while Fenwick’s top-five players rarely came out of the game. “We love the fact that we can go seven or eight guys deep every night and not have much of a drop off,” said Brown. “It’s part of what helps our defense be so effective, because we always have fresh bodies coming in.” “The thing about St. Mary’s is that they never let up and they come at you all game long,” said Moran. “Our guys played a lot of minutes because our bench was a little thin, and St. Mary’s just keeps wearing you down.” Fenwick (4-2) hosts Cathedral Friday evening (6:30). “We know that that’s going to be another tough one, but that’s what you love about this league,” said Moran. “Every night you’re tested to your limits with the kind of talent we have in the CCL, and that’s only going to make us better.”
