</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Gilbert senior standout center Austin Brochu picked a great way to close out his high school basketball career Wednesday evening during the S/M (Class S and Class M) all-star game at Meriden's Maloney High School.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Brochu had 19 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 steal. The double-double isn't surprising given that was what Brochu was known for during his senior season, where he averaged 20.6 points and 15.5 rebounds per game, according to stats posted on MaxPreps.com.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Brochu capped his night with <a href="http://www.registercitizen.com/video/?va_id=3368827&pl_id=21458&ref=synd">this dunk</a> in the final 30 seconds of the game.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Brochu had 11 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists in the first half. His S/M West team defeated the East 123-95. Teammate Jaquann Starks of Classical Magnet was the game's MVP with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">To read more about Brochu, click <a href="http://www.registercitizen.com/articles/2012/03/21/sports/doc4f6a95c3519ca148703060.txt">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Brochu now puts his focus on baseball, where he is a strong pitcher for the Yellowjackets. Brochu could be a Division I baseball player.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It will be an unusual Berkshire League connection this evening at the boys 2012 Connecticut High School Coaches Association Senior All-Star Festival at Meriden's Maloney High School.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Gilbert senior center Austin Brochu will be suiting up for the S/M (Class S/Class M) West team, which is coached by Northwestern's Doug Sebach and Woodland's Tom Hunt.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">For the record, the Yellowjackets won all three meetings against the Highlanders this season.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This evening's all-star game between S/M West and S/M East is slated to begin at 6:15. The L/LL West vs. L/LL East game is scheduled to start at 8.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Brochu was a consistent double-double machine for Gilbert throughout his career. He averaged 20.6 points and 15.5 rebounds per game during his senior season, according to stats posted on MaxPreps.com. Very few defenses could hold the 6-5 Brochu down.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Brochu will be teammates with Immaculate's Dan McCorkle during this evening's game. McCorkle and the Mustangs ended the Yellowjackets' season in the Class S quarterfinals on their way to a state championship.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">I will be there this evening to recap Brochu's stellar career. The story will appear in Thursday's Register Citizen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You should also look for a follow-up to Northwestern's solid season in Friday's edition of The Register Citizen. The Highlanders made the semifinals for just the second time in school history this year. I will be talking to Coach Sebach to get his take on his team's season, as well as an early peek at next year.</span><br />

</tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The No. 5 Northwestern boys basketball team takes on a big challenge on Tuesday night when they face top-seeded Immaculate of Danbury in a Class S state semifinal at Plainville High School. The game starts at 7.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The Highlanders have spent plenty of time in practice working on rebounding fundamentals, most of all boxing out. They will need to do plenty of that against a Mustang team that has seven players 6’2” or taller. That includes 6’8” senior center Vitor Melo, 6’7” Connor Holbrook and a well-built Sheldon Irving at 6’5”.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">In last Friday’s quarterfinal against No. 8 Gilbert, Immaculate pounded the glass on the way to a 92-54 rout of the Yellowjackets. The Highlanders would like not to see the same thing play out against them.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Northwestern (20-4) will need to pressure Immaculate (24-1) and create turnovers. The Highlanders also hope that the Mustangs aren’t hitting from the outside. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">With Immaculate, it’s a case of pick your poison. The Mustangs can pound opponents inside and Dan McCorkle showed he can shoot from the outside. Northwestern will need to limit offensive rebounds, but they also need to be aware of where McCorkle is.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Northwestern fared well against the pressure defense of No. 4 Classical Magnet in last Friday’s quarterfinal, so they’ve had experience dealing with tenacious defense. What’s different about Immaculate is the height it brings to the table.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There’s not much the Highlanders can do about the height of the Mustangs. What Northwestern must do is get the best position and force Immaculate to go over the top of them.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">On offense, the Highlanders look to knock down more shots than their counterparts from Gilbert did.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">The bottom line is Northwestern needs to get off to a good start and keep it going.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To read <span style="font-size: x-small;">—</span> and watch <span style="font-size: x-small;">—</span> what Northwestern’s Connor Guiheen, John Stevens and Jake Plitt had to say about tonight’s game, click </span><a href="http://registercitizen.com/articles/2012/03/13/sports/doc4f5ec1c307800028383714.txt"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To read more about Northwestern’s exciting win over Classical, click </span><a href="http://registercitizen.com/articles/2012/03/09/sports/doc4f5adcb7ab780859056641.txt"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For more on Immaculate’s impressive effort against Gilbert, click </span><a href="http://registercitizen.com/articles/2012/03/10/sports/doc4f5add5aeade1218133457.txt"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">Reporter Peter Wallace will be covering the game.

Junior guard Robert Skinner had 18 points, 5 assists and 4 rebounds while junior guard Luis Cordova chipped in 12 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. Seniors JP Duluc, Mitch Maher, Devon Molway, Robert Smith and Dan Williams also played in their final games for the Yellowjackets.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">To read more about Friday's game, click <a href="http://registercitizen.com/articles/2012/03/10/sports/doc4f5add5aeade1218133457.txt">here</a>.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gilbert may have had a rough ending to its season, but the Yellowjackets still put together a 20-5 record. Gilbert won 11 straight games. They finished the regular season with seven straight victories, then won both games in the Berkshire League Tournament to grab the title.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gilbert won the BL title in stunning fashion over Northwestern by erasing a nine-point deficit in the final 2:32 of the fourth quarter. The Yellowjackets then took control of the game in overtime and beat the Highlanders for the third time in three tries.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gilbert knocked off No. 25 Wamogo 79-73 in the first round of Class S, then defeated Goodwin Tech 88-75 in a high-scoring contest in the second round.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Skinner and Brochu both played big in the first two rounds. Skinner had 23 points against Wamogo, then lit up Goodwin Tech for 43 points. Brochu put up 27 points, 16 rebounds and 4 steals against the Warriors, then pounded the Gladiators for 26 more points.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Facing a ton of pressure on Friday night, Skinner led the Yellowjackets with 18 points. Brochu battled his way to 12 points and 12 rebounds while dealing with a much larger Immaculate front line.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Immaculate has plenty of height, quickness and depth, and is at the forefront of contenders for the Class S state title. The championship would be their first since 1976. The Mustangs face Gilbert's archrival Northwestern, the No. 5 seed, in a state semifinal next Tuesday night at a site and time to be determined. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

Immaculate has seven players on its roster that are 6'2" or taller. Vitor Melo is 6'8" and will be a handful underneath. To stay in the game, the Yellowjackets must crash the glass as a team. Five Gilbert players must hit the defensive boards on every possession to try to eliminate second-chance opportunities for the Mustangs.</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>SCORING BY COMMITTEE</b></span></div><ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">Brochu and Skinner have lit up opposing defenses all season, but they will need help from other players tonight for Gilbert to be in the game and have a chance to win. Brochu could have a tough night scoring inside against the large front line of the Mustangs, and it's a certainty that Skinner will garner plenty of attention. Luis Cordova, Dan Williams and Devon Molway are likely going to get more open looks throughout the game. They will need to take those shots and knock them down for Gilbert to have a chance.</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>FOUL TROUBLE</b></span></div><ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;"><b> </b>Brochu and Skinner absolutely have to stay out of foul trouble. Brochu is the only real height that Gilbert has inside, and Skinner is a game-changer from the outside. If either one gets in foul trouble, the Yellowjackets are in trouble.</span></li>
</ul><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>STOPPING THE BLEEDING</b></span></div><ul style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><li><span style="font-size: small;">According to what I've read about the Mustangs, they are a big, athletic team that tends to out-muscle their opponents inside. They also play tough defense. Gilbert must not allow Immaculate to dominate the game inside, and the Yellowjackets must also avoid big runs. The Mustangs have lost just once all season in the tough South-West Conference and are a very dangerous team. Gilbert must avoid having a small run turn into a larger burst, or it will be very hard to make a comeback. The Yellowjackets do have the ability to rally from large deficits - they trailed Northwestern by 15 or more points twice this season, including 20 in the first meeting, and won both games - but they don't want to fall too far behind against Class S's top seed.</span></li>

</tbody></table><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The No. 5 Torrington girls basketball team's season ended on Thursday night with a 58-47 loss to No. 4 Berlin in a Class L state quarterfinal at Berlin High School. The Lady Raiders finish the season at 20-5. The Redcoats (20-4) face top-seeded E.O. Smith in a semifinal next Monday night at 7:45 at Hartford's Bulkeley High School.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here are some final thoughts from the game:</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">BERLIN</span></span></b><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Redcoats got off to a very slow start and trailed 5-0 midway through the first quarter. Berlin, however, was able to rally and take a 9-7 lead after one quarter.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Berlin put together a big second quarter (17-5) where it held Torrington to just two baskets. Paige Young had five points in the quarter for the Redcoats, or as much as the entire Raider team.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Redcoats were able to withstand a Raider push in the fourth quarter. Torrington cut Berlin's lead to six at 50-44 with 1:28 to play in the game, but Deanna Barrett's three-point play put the final nail in the game for the Redcoats.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Berlin had balance in its story. Kailene Rampone had 15 points, all in the second half, while teammate Courtney Trzasko added 15 of her own. Chelsea Vujs finished with 10 points, Paige Young added seven points while Barrett chipped in six. </span></span></li>
</ul><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>TORRINGTON</b></span></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Torrington played the game without sophomore point guard Caroline Teti. Teti broke her left wrist in last Friday's Class L second round win over Daniel Hand. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Foul trouble sidelined Lady Raider senior leader Aly Otis for much of the first half. Otis picked up her second foul 1:38 into the first quarter. Torrington led 3-0 at the time, but without Otis on the offensive end and underneath cleaning up the boards, the Raiders were in trouble.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">In spite of her early foul trouble, Otis played big down the stretch. She had 12 second half points, including 10 in the fourth quarter. Otis led the team with 14 points, plus eight rebounds and two steals in her final game as a Raider.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Torrington struggled throughout the first half, scoring just 12 points. The Raiders had five in the second quarter after scoring seven in the first. THS had 15 turnovers in the half. They had eight in the first quarter and seven in the second.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Raiders picked it up in the third quarter, scoring 15 points, three more than they had in the entire first half.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Torrington never stopped fighting, despite being down as much as 20 points with 4:11 left in the third quarter. The Raiders cut the Redcoat lead to 50-44 with 1:28 left to play, but a key three-point play by Berlin's Deanna Barrett helped put the game away.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Senior center Caycee Williams struggled early, but scored six of her eight points in the second half, including four in the fourth quarter as THS rallied. </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Senior guard Mariah Cerruto fouled out with 3:52 left in the fourth quarter. The Raiders were already playing without Teti, and losing Cerruto didn't help. Torrington was down 10 at the time, 45-35, and got as close as six at 50-44, but couldn't close the gap any further.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Torrington's senior class put together a successful season that included the second best record in the Naugatuck Valley League (17-2), a runner-up finish in the NVL tournament, and an appearance in the Class L state quarterfinal. The Raiders graduate Otis, Williams, Cerruto, Emily Eanniello, Mollie Bartles, Dia O'Brien and Morgan Thulin.</span></span></li>

</tbody></table><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are my final thoughts from Wednesday night's Class S boys second round game between No. 5 Northwestern and No. 12 Terryville, won by the Highlanders, 63-48.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><strong>NORTHWESTERN</strong></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Highlanders got a huge contribution from Jake Plitt (10 points, 6 rebounds). The lone senior on the roster played a key role in his team's 14-3 run to close the third quarter. Plitt scored six straight points, then stole the ball and came up with an assist to John Stevens for a lay-up and a 45-32 lead.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Highlanders started out the game with hot shooting, which continued throughout much of the first half. Northwestern started the game with an 11-2 burst, then extended the lead to 19-6. That good shooting continued throughout the game. The Highlanders ended the game with 48 percent shooting and had three players in double figures. Stevens and Connor Guiheen each had 17 points while Plitt added 10.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Highlanders were able to control the backboards (45-34), something they didn't do in the BL tournament semifinal against the Kangaroos. Stevens said rebounding better was a key to the victory. Stevens led the team with 12 rebounds while fellow guard Guiheen wasn't far behind with 9.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Highlanders played relatively solid defense in the game. There were some lapses that led to open shots, according to head coach Doug Sebach, but Northwestern was able to recover and pull away.</span></li>
</ul><span style="font-family: Arial;"><strong>TERRYVILLE</strong></span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Arial;">The Kangaroos may have started slow, but they didn't give in. Jacob Johnson's trey got Terryville within 7 points at 39-32 in the third quarter.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Junior forward Jon Festa played hard in spite of an ankle injury. Festa led the team in rebounds with 12, and he also had a couple key baskets early in the third quarter as the Kangaroos tried to get back into the game.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial;">Bottom line for Terryville: This will be a dangerous basketball team next season. The Kangaroos do graduate All-BL guard Sterner, along with forward Jordan Kuczenski. The Ross also lose reserves Andrew Giblin, Nick Graham and Matt Volz, but they will return guards Johnson and Tyler Trillo. Johnson and Trillo will be juniors. Terryville is also projected to return Festa and Arthur Trent as seniors to clog up the middle. Freshman Shea Tracy could step into an even bigger role next season as a sophomore. Given their unselfishness and their ability to shoot the ball, the Roos will be a team to watch next season in the Berkshire League and at the state level.</span></li>

Caycee Williams added 10 points, 15 rebounds and a block to forge a potent 1-2 inside punch with Otis. That combination was too much for the Tigers to handle.

They’re big, they’re strong, they’re tough. We’ve been kind of relying on speed and quickness all year, and trying to turn people over in our press and trying to get points out of that.”</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Tredwell also sees more success coming for Torrington.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">“All the best to them,” Tredwell said. “They earned it.

She got to the basket whenever she wanted and even muscled her way through defenders to score.</span></span></li>

Howard hit a big 3 to get the Lady Raiders going in the second quarter. She also helped handle the Daniel Hand full-court defensive pressure.</span></span></li>
</ul><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Otis and Williams were huge inside, but they got help from teammate Megan Calabrese in the middle.

</ul><ul><li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Daniel Hand will be back. The Tigers graduated three players, including 6’0” forward Kelsey Cuddy, but they bring back plenty of players who want to fight for their minutes, according to head coach Tim Tredwell. Add to that the fact that their freshmen team went undefeated this year, and you can bet Hand will be heard from again.</span></span></li>

Vujs scored 25 points to go along with five steals and five assists, according to results reported on the Hartford Courant’s website. Teammate Courtney Tzasko, 5’6” junior guard/forward, added 13 points in the win.

The Tigers defeated No. 21 Bunnell 72-62 in a first round game on Tuesday night in Madison. Senior forward Kelsey Cuddy (6’0”) had 23 points, 12 rebounds, 4 steals and 2 blocks. Kara McHugh, a 5’5” senior guard, added 17 points while 5’5” junior guard Hannah Johnson tallied 12 points. You can read more about Daniel Hand’s first game of the tournament by clicking <a href="http://reboundreporters.blogspot.com/2012/02/torrington-girls-will-face-daniel-hand.html">here</a>.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Torrington will need senior center Caycee Williams to keep playing the way she has been playing. In the NVL tournament title game against Holy Cross, Williams had 16 points, 17 rebounds and 2 blocks, and played very well against the talented Danielle Dorsett. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The Raiders are also looking for another strong performance out of senior forward Aly Otis. Against Holy Cross, Otis 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Torrington could offset the play of Hand’s guards with strong efforts from their own. Senior Mariah Cerruto scored seven straight points against Holy Cross during a key stretch in the NVL title game. Junior Nicole Kozlak could cause problems because of her height (5’11) and her ability to stretch a defense with her 3-point shooting. Sophomore Caroline Teti has taken on a big role as the point guard and has improved as the season has gone on.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As always, turnovers and fouls are big keys in a tournament game. Torrington must not commit a lot of turnovers, and it must avoid foul trouble to contend with Cuddy on the inside.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here’s Torrington’s probable starting lineup for the game:</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Caycee Williams, sr. center, 6’1”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Aly Otis, sr. forward, 5’8”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Nicole Kozlak, jr. guard, 5’10”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Mariah Cerruto, sr. guard, 5’2”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Caroline Teti, soph. guard, 5’0”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</tbody></table><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The fans who jammed into Thomaston High School on Thursday night saw an incredible Berkshire League Boys Basketball Tournament final between No. 2 Gilbert and No. 1 Northwestern.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Yellowjackets (18-4, 17-3 BL) defeated the Highlanders (18-4, 17-3) in overtime, 93-84, after being down by as much as 15 in the third quarter and 9 with 2:32 left in the fourth quarter.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Three different players reached the 30-point mark, led by Gilbert's Robert Skinner, who had 32. Austin Brochu added 30 for the Yellowjackets while Northwestern's John Stevens led his team with 30.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">You cannot forget the efforts of Luis Cordova for Gilbert. Without Cordova's banked 3-pointer with 30 seconds left in regulation, the Yellowjackets may have been watching the Highlanders celebrate a BL tourney title. Cordova had 17 points in the game. You can watch Cordova's 3-pointer <a href="http://www.registercitizen.com/video/?va_id=3320599&pl_id=21458&ref=synd">here</a>.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gilbert played mostly just its starting five of Skinner, Brochu, Cordova, Dan Williams and Devon Molway, but head coach Mark Douglass felt his team was ready at the end because of its strong conditioning.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Northwestern gave a great effort and led by 9 late in the fourth quarter, but Gilbert took advantage of a couple costly turnovers to tie the game. The Highlanders still had a chance to win, but two missed free throws with 2.2 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There was no shortage of fouls in the game. The teams combined to shoot 65 foul shots in 36 minutes, almost an average of two attempts per minute. </div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gilbert was 34-of-42 from the line, including an astounding 12-of-12 from Skinner and a nearly perfect 16-of-18 from Brochu. Northwestern was 13-of-23 from the charity stripe. The Highlanders did make 11 3-pointers in the game, including 5 from Stevens and 3 from Arthur Lefevre (11 points).</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">With the BL tournament over, both teams look ahead to the Class S state tournament, which begins on Monday for No. 8 Gilbert and Wednesday for No. 5 Northwestern. You can read more about both teams and the rest of Class S in our<a href="http://reboundreporters.blogspot.com/2012/02/boys-basketball-state-tournament.html"> tournament preview</a>.</div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
