Scranton Prep came into the Mohegan Sun Arena looking for another District Championship. Meanwhile GAR looked to play spoiler and take the District Title. Scranton Prep started off well, leading 6-0 early in the game and would eventually lead 18-7 but GAR would go on a 6-0 run to end the quarter and would trail 18-13 at the end of one. GAR cut the lead to 2 thanks to a three pointer by Will Johnson and a basket by Keyshawn Palmer but a pair of Pady Casey free throws and a basket by Logan Bailey increased the Cavaliers lead to 6 but an Andrew Campbell three point cut the lead in half. An 11-2 run by Scranton Prep gave them a 12 point. GAR got the lead to 10 at halftime when a Will Johnson jumper beat the buzzer to make it 35-25 at halftime. GAR started the quarter on a 7-0 run to cut the lead to 3, however Scranton Prep only allowed a Herman Suazo 3 pointer and Scranton Prep took a 44-35 lead at the end of the third quarter. Scranton Prep started the fourth quarter on a 12-2 run and cruised the rest of the way to take the District 2 4A Boys title with a 64-45 victory over GAR. Logan Bailey had a game high 18 points, Pady Casey added 16 for the Cavaliers. Keyshawn Palmer scored 17 for the Grenadiers and Will Johnson added 11.
Thoughts on the game: Scranton Prep looked very good. Everytime it seemed GAR would try and come back, the Cavaliers went on a run to pull away. The Cavaliers also had a well-balanced offense with 4 players scoring in double figures. Congrats to Scranton Prep for winning another District 2 crown. GAR's Keyshawn Palmer had a really good game with 17 points and Will Johnson had a good game as well, scoring 11.
