SCRANTON — Packy Doherty had never been to a Lynett Memorial Boys Basketball Tournament final during his career.
A perfect start by the senior and his teammates helped Scranton Prep change that.
Doherty didn’t miss a shot in the first quarter, going 6 for 6 and scoring 16 of his 20 points, and the Cavaliers rolled from there to a 73-37 victory over Scranton in the first semifinal Saturday night at the Lackawanna College Student Union.
Scranton Prep was 12 for 13 from the field in the first quarter to reach the championship game for the first time since 2022.
There, the Cavaliers will face Dunmore. The Bucks put on an impressive offensive display in the second semifinal and beat Holy Cross, 96-54.
Five players scored in double figures for Dunmore, led by Brayden Canavan’s 35 points. Jimmy Clark added 22 points, Carter Sload followed with 15 points, Nate Aviles chipped in 11 points and Jacob Costanzo finished with 10 points. The Bucks shot 66.7 percent from the field (36 for 54), including 17 of 28 from 3-point range to advance to the final for the first time since 2017.
On Monday, Scranton Prep and Dunmore play in the championship game at 7:30 p.m. Scranton and Holy Cross meet in the consolation game at 2:30 p.m.
