Cambridge Uses 3's and Defence to Stun Horde

The Mid-Atlantic coast was getting pounded
Friday night with nearly three feet of snow.
Locally it was cold and dry. In the Cambridge
High School gym however, it was "raining
threes." The Cambridge Indians used a
barrage of three point shooting and a stingy
2-3 zone to knock off the Granville Golden
Horde 60-46 in Wasaren League boys
basketball action. The Indians lost to the
Horde by 11 earlier in the season, but this
was their night. Cambridge jumped out to a
15-9 lead after one quarter, and lead by as
much as 8 in the stanza. In the second, the
Indians used a pair of Will Bromirski 3
pointers, and one each from Todd Hunt and
Nick Diotte to outscore Granville 14-10 to go
up 31-19 at the break. Meanwhile the Horde
were struggling against the Indians 2-3 zone.
The Golden Horde seemed to usually attack
the seams of the zone well, but could not get
their shots to fall. They were also hindered by
a number of turnovers. In the third the Indians
put this away. Granville several times cut the
lead to 10 early, but each time they did
Cambridge would hit a 3, or Bromirski would
penetrate the lane, draw the defence and
dish to the open man. The player who
benefited the most was Erick Mulready, who
came off of the bench to score 14 points, 10
in the third as the Indians went up 53-33. In
the fourth both teams substituted liberally and
Cambridge cruised to the win. Bromirski,
who is in shooting range as soon as he
crosses the Shushan town line, led the
Indians with 16 points. Mulready added 14.
DJ Campbell paced Granville with 14.
