County Center Basketball Game

The Westchester County Center was electrified with competition this past Monday. South East Consortium’s Tuesday night basketball team, the Hawks, played against North East in a tit for tat shoot out which left the Hawks three points short of victory (27-24.)

South East took an early six point lead going into the second period led by point guard James Beveridge supported by Christopher Horan who led the team in assists for the evening.

The Hawks held the lead through the half. The third period saw a comeback by North Eastled by small forward number 32. The Hawks defense was unprepared for the ferocious speed of the nimble baller who sank 10 points from break away lay-ups.

The Hawks had a six point lead going into the fourth period but North East led by number 32 creeped back from behind to snatch the W.

It was a great experience for both teams to play at the Westchester County Center. The games highlights were announced over the house loudspeakers and pop music blared between periods.

“This was so much fun! I would definitely play a game here again.” said forward Johnny Reichelt

Despite stalwart defense put forth by Maggie Stone and some late game three-pointers sunk by Alexander Pflaum the Hawks were unable to grab the win. Luckily the Hawks will have a chance at redemption on April 9^th at Bronxville High School. The smell of rivalry is in the air!
