S.I. HS BOYS\u2019 HOOPS ROUNDUP FOR DEC. 13 (8 GAMES)<\/a><\/p>\nLeading 15-13 after one period, the Lions turned in a big second quarter that ultimately made a difference in the contest.<\/p>\n
Yates scored eight points, including both of his treys, and Abreu and Hanley split 12 points as Farrell outscored the Queens school, 21-11, to take a commanding 36-24 lead at the half.<\/p>\n
Gomez, meanwhile, tallied eight points in the third, including a trey and conventional three-point play. Although the Crusaders outscored the Lions 22-18, the hosts still owned a 54-46 advantage heading into the final eight minutes.<\/p>\n
McClancy\u2019s second-half run continued in the final period, but thanks to Abreu\u2019s three-point play and 1 of 2 free throws from Braxton Moye, the Lions held off the Crusaders\u2019 late surge.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am proud of our guys for hanging tough and withstanding their run and doing enough to win this game,\u201d said Fisher, whose team buried 13 of 17 free-throw attempts for the second consecutive game.<\/p>\n
The Crusaders were 14 for 19 from the charity stripe, but missed their only two attempts of the final period.<\/p>\n
Farrell owned a 7-2 advantage in made three-pointers. <\/p>\n
