Second Boys’ Basketball
The Martlets won two close games against Berkshire and Kent. The contest with the Bears was much closer than the final score would indicate.

Christian Barral-Arteta ’13 had a season high eight assists and Jack Rubino ’13, Cade Von Gal ’14 and Noah Fosse-Greiner ’16 finished with 17, 15 and 14 points respectively. Henry Anderson ’14 and Evan Yenor ’13 controlled the boards, and Jack Werner ’16 and Joey Oh ’15 were solid in the backcourt. It was an even closer game against the Lions that took two overtime periods to decide a winner. Down in the second half, Werner took over the game late and hit several three-point shots to bring the Martlets back including the game-tying shot at the buzzer. In OT, Rubino and Yenor controlled the boards, and Oh hit three out of four free throws. Yenor sealed the victory with his free throws down the stretch.
