ALLENTOWN – A District 11 Class 3A boys basketball quarterfinal round doubleheader on Saturday at Executive Education’s Founders Hall.
Third-seeded Catasauqua taking on No. 6 Lehigh Valley Academy in the early contest and the Rough Riders taking control of this one early.
Manny Bolmer parks at the high post in the second quarter and he puts his head down to finish through traffic. Bolmer would get the foul and Catty leads 33-14.
More of the same in the second half as Frankie Pujols won’t be denied going to the basket and later in the third, the lead balloons to 20 as Reece Lopez drains the triple from the corner and the Rough Riders win, 70-50.
Catasauqua will get the winner of the next game between No.2 Notre Dame-Green Pond and No. 7 Williams Valley.
After the teams traded threes early on, Justin Manning pops one from way outside to put the Crusaders in front 7-6. The lead would swell to double digits
as Cody Driscoll asserted his dominance down low – following up the miss to put NDGP in front 24-12.
Notre Dame would maintain a comfortable lead throughout and advance with a 63-46 victory. They will face Catasauqua on Tuesday in the semifinal round.
