Scranton Prep and Berwick came to the Mohegan Sun Arena to vie for the District Crown. Scranton Prep, the top seed in the District Tournament came in looking for back-to-back titles. Berwick, the seventh seed came into the Mohegan Sun Arena beating Dallas, Nanticoke and GAR and looking for it's first District Championship since 1980 and first ever District 2 title. First quarter started off with some jitters, both teams missing shots til Brett Para broke the scoring drought with a 2 pointer, then Logan Bailey scored to make it 4-0. Berwick would get on the scoreboard with a 3-pointer by Tyler Evans and was fouled but missed the free throw. Berwick would keep within distance of Scranton Prep by the end of the quarter, trailing 19-10 at the end of the first quarter. After Tyler Evans got them within 6 points, Scranton Prep would go on a 15-0 run and would lead 42-22 at the half. Scranton Prep would keep on going in the third quarter, going on an 11-0 to end the third quarter and lead 57-27. Scranton Prep would cruise through the fourth quarter eventually putting in their subs and win back-to-back District 2 3A Boys Championships by the score of 70-45. Logan Bailey led Scranton Prep's scoring by having a game-high 19 points and Wes Simons added 10 points. For Berwick, Tyler Evans had 13 points and Jude Goodard added 11. Alec Markle had 9 fourth quarter points for the Bulldogs
Thoughts on the game: Scranton Prep proved tonight why they won Division 1 of the Lackawanna League and were the top seed in the District 2 tournament. Despite being cold early, they eventually heated up, going on big runs and putting the Bulldogs away early. For Berwick, the was possibly the toughest opponent they have seen all season. Tyler Evans had a great game, scoring 13 points.
