Lowell 33  Tewksbury 5th Grade Red 29

Tewksbury started out slow and Lowell took advantage to jump out to a 15-6 lead about mid-way through the first half. After a time out the boys picked up their defense, spearheaded by Kyle Rossetti, Chad Boschetti, CJ Zemetres, Riley Frost and Zach Tyler. This unit caused many turnovers which lead to easy baskets; they also settled down the offense and worked many plays for easy baskets.

The next group came in, following the last groups effort and were able to go into the break tied 15-15. The second half saw a game that had many lead changes and it became a game that could go either way. Unfortunately a lucky bounce went to Lowell as they put up an off balance shot that bounced a few times and then rolled in to break a 29-29 tie. 

Tewksbury still had many good looks but just could not get the bounce. Final score Lowell 33-29. The leading scorers for the game Adam Pacheco (9 points, 3 steals, 3 rebounds), Zach Tyler 6 points, Kyle Rossetti (4 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals),  Riley Frost 4 points, Chad Boschetti (2 points, 4 steals,) CJ Zemetres (2 Points, 6 rebounds), Jared Rizzo ( 2 Points, 7 Rebounds, 4 steals), Lucas Frost 5 rebounds.
