The Pythons advance to the semifinals and will face top-seeded Pembroke on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at the Rochester Recreation Center.

Pelham came out firing as they netted 23 first-quarter points and held a 23-18 lead after one. The two squads played even in the second quarter as the Pythons led 30-25 at the break.

In the extra session, both teams were limited to just one field goal apiece, but the difference came at the charity stripe. Coe-Brown went 3-for-6 from the line, while Pelham was 9-for-12, including a perfect 6-for-6 from Justin Bowlan.

Instant Classic: Coe-Brown captures Bash crown in overtime

By: KJ Cardinal

FARMINGTON, NH – In a tournament that featured many one-sided affairs, the title bout of the 45th Annual Mike Lee Holiday Basketball Bash was anything but that as Coe-Brown Northwood Academy battled Belmont in an instant classic overtime contest at Farmington High School. When the final buzzer sounded, the Bears came out on top, 66-64.

The Bash championship marked the first for CBNA at New Hampshire’s largest holiday tournament since 1992 and their third overall.

Coe-Brown and Belmont battled back-and-forth throughout, with neither team able to gain much separation at any point in the game. The opening quarter was an offensive onslaught as both teams were trying to figure the other out defensively. The Bears led 21-20 after the opening stanza, but a strong second quarter for the Red Raiders gave Belmont a 37-34 lead at the break.

Belmont’s Keegan Martinez pumped in 18 points in the first half, but he was held scoreless for the third and fourth quarters. The Red Raiders were plagued by foul trouble throughout with Martinez and the lightning-quick Treshawn Ray saddled on the bench for significant time in the second half.

The Bears capitalized as they slowly battled their way back. Trailing by three with under two minutes left to play in regulation, Coe-Brown’s Grant Hayes buried a straight-away three to tie the game at 57-57. The two teams would remain scoreless for the final 1:40, thanks in part to a monstrous block by Jack Matson on a driving Martinez with four seconds left in the 4th. After a Belmont timeout, the Red Raiders had a clean look at a deep three for the win, but the bid came up just short and the game headed to overtime.

In the extra frame, Coe-Brown had a balanced attack with four players scoring and the Bears went 4-of-5 from the charity stripe to squeeze out the win.

Martinez led all scorers for Belmont, while Ray added 18 of his own. The Red Raiders were playing without injured Anakin Underhill, The Bash MVP from two seasons ago.

CBNA was paced by Hayes (19 points), Matson (15) and Ryan Kouchoukos (14). Matson was named the tournament’s Most Valuable Player and was joined on the All-Tournament team by…

The Bash: Day 4 Recap

By: KJ Cardinal

Semifinal Sunday at The Bash is in the books and host Farmington and Portsmouth Christian Academy will play for the girls title, while Belmont and Coe-Brown will meet for the boys crown.

The semifinals themselves weren’t really all that close as three of the four games were decided by 19 points or more. In both of the boys semifinals, the Division IV teams (Profile & PCA) hung around in the first half of their games, but the bigger D-II and D-III squads (CBNA & Belmont) pulled away in the second half. The closest semifinal on the day saw the host D-IV Tigers defeat D-II Coe Brown by eight points.

Belmont was playing without Anakin Underhill, but the Red Raiders got massive contributions from Keegan Martinez (32) and Treshawn Ray (19), while Brady Thurber stepped up and netted 11 points.

Behind big man Jack Matson, the Coe-Brown boys make their first appearance in The Bash title game since 1992 when the Bears downed host Farmington for their second title in tourney history.

In the PCA-Franklin girls semifinal, it was the Ava Buchanan and Kourtney Kaplan show as Buchanan poured in 30 points for the Eagles, while Kaplan dropped 29 for the Golden Tornadoes.

The Farmington girls return to The Bash final for the second-straight year and will be in search of their first title since 2009. Last year the Tigers lost the championship game in a rock fight to Kennett, 28-27.

As anticipated, Sunday’s semis were played in front of a packed house at The Jungle at Farmington High School and Monday’s finals should be the same.

Monday’s title game schedule is as follows:
GIRLS: Portsmouth Christian Academy vs. Farmington, 5:30 pm
BOYS: Belmont vs. Coe-Brown, 7:00 pm
