JV Boys Basketball Lose in Overtime

The JV Boys basketball team saw its five-game win streak end Monday night in a see-saw battle with visiting Northgate High School which narrowly edged out the Dons, 54 – 51, in overtime. The game was extremely close throughout as the Dons took a 23 – 22 advantage into the half, fell behind by two to close out the third quarter and then, with the clock winding down, dramatically tied the game with a pressure-laden, desperately needed three-pointer by Noah Bloch. The Dons clearly had momentum going into the OT period, but unfortunately managed to score only four points while giving up seven for the final margin of defeat. Leading the scoring for the Dons was Yanaton Draznin with 18. Tyler Murphy added 12 and Noah Bloch finished with 9 points. The JV team next plays tonight at home at 5:30 pm against Campolindo.
