NEBL - Sunday Recap
Day two of the opening session of the New England Basketball League brought some old-fashioned prep school battles even as multiple teams were short-handed and one was on a covid-pause.
Bridgton Academy rebounded to knock-off Woodstock Academy in the opener while New Hampton had a dramatic overtime win over St. Thomas More next. The Putnam Science vs. Brewster game was a hard-fought battle for all 40 minutes, that also needed overtime to be decided, before the Mustangs won by a buzzer-beating three-pointer from Sotiris Nafpliotis. The nightcap was equally thrilling as NMH erased a double-figure lead with a dramatic second-half run only to be beaten by a game winner from Dylan Edwards.
Below are some of the top individual performers from the day.
