Abington Heights came in looking for another District Title and they took on West Scranton at the Mohegan Sun Arena. Abington Heights took the first two matchups, would the third time be the charm for the Invaders. Abington Heights started off the game hot and led 6-0 just like that and would lead 20-3. West Scranton would try to cut into the lead especially with Abington Heights center Seth Maxwell on the bench with 2 fouls but Abington Heights hot shooting continued and would lead 30-11 at the end of the first quarter. West Scranton attempted desperately to get back but the Comets shooting barrage kept on coming. At halftime, 4 Abington Heights players had double digits in scoring and would lead 52-28. Seth Maxwell made his presence shown in the third quarter by blocking several shots and altering several West Scranton shots as the Comets only allowed 5 points in the third quarter and would lead 68-35 at the end of the third quarter. The third quarter was highlighted by Jackson Danzig scoring six straight points. The subs on both sides would take over in the fourth as the Abington Heights Comets took the District 2 5A Crown with a 77-41 victory over West Scranton. Trey Koehler had a game high 20 points and Jackson Danzig added 17 for the Comets. For the Invaders, Cole Stetzar had 13 points and Josh Hart added 8 points.
Thoughts on the game: Abington Heights shot lights out all game. I don't think any team could have stopped them tonight. Jackson Danzig, Trey Koehler, Tom Rothenberger and George Tinsley all scored in double figures and it was impressive how well they were shooting. Despite Seth Maxwell being out in the first half, he made an impact in the third quarter with him blocking shots and grabbing rebounds.
