Boys’ Basketball
The Old Rochester regional high school boys’ basketball team hosted West Bridgewater on February 14, in their last game of the regular season. The Bulldogs started the game out hot, going into a full court press and not allowing West Bridgewater any breathing room.
“Our pressure defense hurt W-B leading to some easy hoops early,” said ORR Head Coach Steve Carvalho.
The score at the end of the first half was 51-33, as Old Rochester was showing a combination of gritty defense and pure offense. The final score was 77-55 with the Bulldogs showing no signs of slowing down in the second half. Gavin Martin was named the player of the game, scoring 23 points, dishing 7 assists, and having 5 steals. Noah Thorell came up big in the first half, scoring 15 points.
“I’m proud of the team winning their last three games, dealing with basketball adversity and going into the tournament with hopefully some momentum,” said Carvalho.
