WESTMINSTER- Well, that was fun.
In front of a packed house on Thursday evening, the Terriers and Yellowjackets thrilled the crowd with a fast paced contest. In the end, the day was for the purple, with BF taking the contest 67-57.
Windsor guard, Maison Fortin, eclipse the elusive 1,000 point mark in the fourth quarter, when he scored his 27th point of the evening off the front end of a 1-and-1.
“What an accomplishment,” said Head Coach Evan Chadwick. “That dude has been a gamer since day 1, improving year in and out. This accomplishment is a testament to what hard work can bring you in this game.”
The score was knotted after one at 15 all. Colby Dearborn got hot early, hitting 2 threes and Jamison Nystrom added another triple to neutralize Fortin’s 11 points.
Windsor would go on a 6-0 in the second that opened up an 8 point lead, forcing BF to take a timeout.
The Terriers responded, whittling the lead to 1 and getting a key stop as time expired when Eli Albee blocked a Fortin shot to take the game into the break.
The BF momentum carried over, and the Terrier press began to pay dividends, as the transition offense began to run on all cylinders.
Cole Moore scored 5 of his 7 points in the frame, Nystrom added his second trey and Eli Albee finished from inside, which extended BF’s lead to 4.
BF scored 21 points in the fourth to put the contest on ice, slowly expanding the lead to double digits. Caeden Haskell led the charge, scoring all 7 of his points in the quarter, including a massive 3 point play with under 2 minutes remaining that stretched the Terrier lead out to 11.
On the evening, 9 Terriers scored. Dearborn hit for 19, while Jake Moore added 13.
Now 13-4, the Terriers next travel to Sharon Academy for an afternoon game on Saturday. Varsity tips at 2.
