Dueling Dragons
In the closest game of the season yet, Boys’ Third Basketball faced off against the Berkshire Bears in a standoff like no other. Out of the gate, the Martlets put up five points, holding the Bears close for the first half. Berkshire inched ahead, little by little, but strong rebounds by Lucas “Leaning Tower of Pisa” Wahlberg ’21 and alacritous leadership by Justin “The Wizard of Westfarms” Flaks ’20 kept them in check. The first half ended at 7-10, though Hunter “Yellow Pages” Hoogkamp ’21 helped tie the score up as the boys set the stage for a true battle. Two dueling dragons in the crisp winter air, circling one another point after point, first tied 19-19, then 25-25, finally 29-29 with Kade “Orange Krush” Smith ’22 unleashing his vigor defensively and drawing attention from both crowds and officials alike. With seconds left in the game, neither team could pull away with the lead, and the first Thirds overtime in years took place. Again, the dragons soared high above the clouds, snapping at one another with gusto. In the end, it was the Berkshire Bears with a quick layup to end the game at 29-31, but the boys of Westminster Thirds Basketball are eager for more high-level play as they prepare for Canterbury this Saturday.
