Good Team Win

 Winchendon paid a visit to Saxtons River for an eagerly anticipated rematch of a disappointing January road loss.  This game was bananas.  VA found a nice balance of patience and aggressiveness to build a small but comfortable halftime lead.  Winchendon switched to a zone defense in the second half, coercing the Wildcats into taking 3-point shots.  VA made enough to maintain a double digit lead, but then Winchendon went off.  An absolute barrage of 3-pointers vaporized the Wildcat lead.  Winchendon's leading scorer made 9 of 10 3-point attempts.  Overtime led to double overtime.  The teams traded baskets down the stretch, and VA was able to get one last three point shot to drop with 4 seconds remaining to seal the win, 90-87.
