Boys’ Basketball Loses to Staples

-By: Doug Wells-

The Blue Wave Basketball lost its seventh game of the season to Staples on Wednesday. (1/19). From the start , the Staples’ Wreckers took the lead. They were able to maintain strong offense and defense throughout the game. At half time, the Westport team had a 10-34 lead. The Blue Wave was never able to rebound and found themselves down the entire night. “We didn’t come to play tonight, we showed a lack of heart and until we decide to play four quarters of basketball we’re not going to get wins,” senior Chris Allam said. The Wreckers maintained good ball possession and scoring which propelled them to the victory. “It’s a tough loss, but we can’t point any fingers. We just have to get back in the gym and work hard to prevent a game like this from happening again,” senior Graham Hotchkiss said.
