The Dallas Mountaineers traveled to Mountain Top on Friday night to take on the Crestwood Comets. The Mountaineers are coming off a big victory over Hazleton Area last Friday. The Comets enter tonight's game undefeated in conference play. Who will come out on top in this WVC Division 1 matchup? Let's find out!
The first quarter started off fast paced with several lead changes but with Crestwood leading 11-10 late in the first quarter, the Mountaineers would get baskets by Jack Farrell and Luke DelGaudio for a 14-11 Dallas lead after the first quarter. Dallas would hold a five point lead until Ryan Petrosky hit a deep three but Jack Farrell would make it a four point lead. Petrosky would score five straight points for a 24-23 Comet lead. However, a putback by Farrell would give the Mountaineers back the lead at 25-24. Mike Palmiero would hit one of two free throws to tie the game at 25 and just before the buzzer, Crestwood would miss a shot, Dallas would get the rebound but Petrosky would steal the ball just around the free throw line and heave up a shot before the buzzer and it would fall to give the Comets a 27-25 lead at halftime.
The Comets would build to a seven point lead midway through the third quarter but the Mountaineers wouldn't quit. Farrell would hit a three pointer but after a Camden Boris basket, the lead would increase back to six. Farrell and DelGaudio would get baskets sandwiched by a Petrosky lead to cut the Comets lead to 41-37 at the end of the third quarter. The Mountaineers would dominate in the fourth quarter. Farrell would hit a basket then freshman Nick Nocito would sink a pair of free throws to tie the game. The Mounts would end up going on a 12-0 run to give Dallas a 49-41 lead. The Comets would get a three pointer by Petrosky to make it a five point game but a basket by DelGaudio would increase the lead to seven. Jake Zaleski would hit a three to make it a four point game but DelGaudio would sink four free throws as the Mountaineers would pull off a 55-47 upset victory over the Crestwood Comets on the road.
Thoughts on the game: Dallas played their best in the fourth quarter and that was the difference in the game. Jack Farrell had a great game with 19 points and Luke DelGaudio had six of his 12 in the fourth quarter. For Crestwood, Ryan Petrosky had a game high 26 points and Camden Boris had six points but played well on the defensive side.
