Martlet Lose Nail-Biter in Overtime, 63-60
Second Boys' Basketball played its best offensive game yet, but the result ultimately left a sour taste. They started the game fast, jumping out to a 13-3 lead in the first half by sharing the ball, getting to the free throw line and capitalizing on their opportunities near the basket. All players were firing on all cylinders. Changing their defensive strategy, Choate eventually, however, chipped away to tie the game at 25 at the half. Westminster made its own adjustments in the second half and built another formidable lead behind the athletic play of Lukas Dudzik '19, who finished with 22 points and Cooper Kistler '22, who added 14 points of his own, before Choate heated up from three-point range. The Martlets saw their nine-point lead diminish to three, and with eight seconds remaining in regulation, Choate stayed hot, tying the game on a contested three at the buzzer. In the five-minute overtime, Westminster led by two for a while only to see its efforts thwarted once again by another long-distance sniper. As they found themselves down by three (the only time they trailed during the whole afternoon) and with just seven second remaining, Raymond Liu '22 attempted a desperation three that hit the back of the rim. The end result was dissatisfying for the Martlets, but they gained newfound confidence in their scoring abilities. They received great games from not only Dudzik and Kistler but also a few points and strong rebounding from Eddie Lie-A-Cheong '19 (eight points), Teddy Schellbach '20 (five points) and point guard Henry Mitrano '19 (five points). Brad Donegan '20 and Kellen Seeley '22 added their own versions of smart, hard-nosed basketball.
