Griffins win
POMFRET — The Pomfret School boys’ varsity basketball team traveled to Governors Academy with the JV team and came back with a 75-50 victory. From the start of the game, Pomfret was swarming on the press and on defense and finding the open man on offense. Forcing turnovers and bad shots gave Pomfret momentum and control of the game. Bryce Johnson hit a three to start the game and Pomfret didn’t relinquish its lead. The Griffins took the lead 12-2, Governors answered with a run, but with toughness and discipline the Griffins went into the half 38-21. In the first eight minutes of the second half, Pomfret outscored their opponent 27-6 and at one point had a 70-30 lead. Govs did not give up — at times Pomfret had trouble with their pressure. The Griffins settled down though and finished with a 75-50 victory.
Individual Contributions: Bryce Howard (10 pts); Bryce Johnson (14 pts); Max Levine (7 pts); Marcus Von Recklinghausen (4 pts); Andrew Lufkin (14 pts); Jon Kazor (9 pts); Ben Kelsey (7 pts); AJ Lesburt (4 pts); Blake Zahansky (2 pts), Kyle Signora, Jaxon Witherspoon, Mambi Tsemo, and Connor Soberay had some trouble when they entered the game around the five minute mark, but they regrouped and sealed the victory.
