WESTMINSTER- Home Opener – check, home victory-check, work to be done? – check.
The Terriers used their depth and athleticism to wear down a tough Arlington team on their way to a 64-39 victory on Tuesday night in front of a large crowd at Holland Gym.
“Feels great to be home,” said Coach Evan Chadwick, whose team jumps to 2-3 on the young season.” “The glimpses of the team we can be are starting to shine a little brighter, but we still have a long ways to go.”
The Terriers led by 17 at the half after a Caden Haskell spin move bucket in the paint.
The Eagles would not let the Terriers feel comfortable after the break as they narrowed the deficit to as few as 13 in the third quarter. “Sloppy in the third,” said Chadwick. “We are looking at that film first thing today to see where things went south.”
Ultimately, the Terriers size would allow them to wear down the smaller Eagles and they were able to close out the fourth, maintaining a 20 point advantage for most of the frame.
8 players scored for BF led by Colby Dearborn’s 19 and Jamison Nystrom’s 11. Haskell was just short of a double-double with 8 points and 9 boards.
BF will be next in action on Tuesday, when they host the 2-2 Rebels of Leland and Gray.
