Boys’ Freshman Basketball Starts Off Season 3-0

By Taiki Miki:
The undefeated boys’ freshman basketball team -- led by Coach Ron Rogers - won its third game of the year, handily beating the Harding Presidents. The game started off with a crucial three-pointer by Dylan Carruthers, who ended the game with 5 points. This started the upward momentum of the Blue Wave that carried the team through the entire game against the Bridgeport squad. Brendan Donohue put up 5 points in the first half, which accounted for a fifth of the team's points. There was no looking back for the Wave as they led Harding 24-16 at the half. Sharpshooter Blake Lange scored 11 points, leading the team. Lange's three-pointer in the third quarter widened the lead, making a comeback by Harding a long shot. Ames Murray contributed to the victory with 7 points. Dan Murphy scored 6 points and Graham Helgans scored 4. Jack Foley, Harry Gillespie, and Myles Ridder each scored 2 points. “It's all about good coaching,”Gillespie said. “Coach Rogers is really showing us how to do it and gets us motivated for the game.” The next game for the freshman squad is at Fairfield Ludlowe High School on Friday. (1/14)
