Hopkinton 42, Conant 28
Key players: Hopkinton – Brendan Elrick (15 points), Quinn Whitehead (11 points), Abram Standefer (6 points), Jack Morrall (4 points, defense)
Highlights: The Hawks went out to a 15-4 first-quarter lead and also held an 11-point lead going into halftime. Hopkinton’s size was too much for Conant, and the Orioles only scored two field goals in the second half, but stayed in the game thanks to strong free throw shooting (11-for-16).
Coach’s quote: “I was proud of how well we played on defense tonight. Our rotational help was much better and they worked as one on the floor. Our guards are seeing the floor well and making the right passes which helped break pressure. It was nice to see us use our size to our advantage as well.” – Hopkinton’s Stephen Signor
Records: Hopkinton 13-2; Conant 7-8
