SOL Liberty Division
Hatboro-Horsham 55, Abington 45
It’s been an improved season from previous ones at Hatboro-Horsham this winter, but it figures to be on the outside of the District One Class 6A playoff field. So, the last five games for the Hatters are it.
Friday, they made the most of it with a solid 55-45 win over Abington.
“That’s probably the best game we played all season,” said H-H coach Rick Fedele. “That was huge. We talked about it before the game. ‘Look, we have five games left, and for the four seniors, you don’t realize how fast it goes, but these are the last five games of your high school basketball career. Let’s go out and play hard.’”
After watching their 11-point lead halftime trimmed to one (41-40), the Hatters came storming back to seize momentum again.
“In the fourth quarter, they sunk their teeth in and played hard,” Fedele said. “We were able to break their press, get good possessions and we outscored them 14-5 and pulled away.”
Senior Noah Schlosser had a big fourth quarter for the Hatters, scoring eight points and making both of his free throw attempts. He finished with 15 points.
H-H was 8-for-12 from the line in the fourth quarter but missed the front end of three one-and-one attempts and Abington was unable to capitalize.
“Schlosser probably played his best overall game,” Fedele said. “He had eight rebounds and was real effective shooting the ball. He was 6-for-10 from the field.”
Kyle Dittus scored 13, eight in the first half. Fedele also credited Vaughn Craig for coming off the bench and grabbing four rebounds in the second quarter, and Mason Bynum who made a pair of free throws late to put H-H up by 10.
“It was a great team effort,” Fedele said. “We adjusted our defense in scouting and played a 1-3-1, and that made it difficult for them to get the hole. That was the difference.
“The JV won at the buzzer and that carried over to the second game. The guys were fired up. It’s great for us to beat a team of that caliber.”
Abington shot just 31.9 percent (15-for-47) from the field and 5-for-25 from 3-point range. Kellen Ingram finished with 17 points, four rebounds and five blocks. Jeremiah Lee had 15 points and 10 rebounds.
H-H (6-13, 5-8 SOL) hosts Plymouth Whitemarsh on Tuesday.
Abington (9-9, 8-5 SOL), which went into the night at No. 21 in the District One Class 6A power rankings, looks to bounce back at home Tuesday against Upper Dublin.

Plymouth Whitemarsh 70, Quakertown 49
Plymouth Whitemarsh junior Luke Winterbottom was honored Friday night as he battles lymphoma. Fans received ‘Team Luke’ t-shirts.
Winterbottom was a key player for PW’s football team and was out for the basketball team when he was diagnosed.
“As a team, you’re trying to always play the game to represent his fight,” said PW coach Jim Donofrio. “He inspires us, and we hope we’re inspiring him. That was the quote for the night – make sure every time we step on the court we’re representing Luke’s fight. It’s the least that we can do.
“We play sports to teach courage and fight and toughness. You tell athletes these traits will help you when you get in the real world. Sometimes the real world shows up a little too early as it did in this case.
“The community always does great things, and he’s got great support. The players all wore the t-shirts. Luke comes when he can. He’s doing well. There seems to be good progress.”
Donofrio said that Winterbottom is close friends and played middle school basketball with PW players Jaden Colzie and Ben Marsico.
On the court, Quakertown gave PW a battle for three quarters. The Colonials led 13-7 after one and 25-21 at halftime. It was 42-38 after three quarters.
Qudire Bennett took over in the fourth quarter, however, hitting three 3-pointers and scoring 14 points in the final eight minutes. He finished with 28 points.
Chase Coleman had 18 and Lincoln Sharpe added 10.
Quakertown was led by Miles Longacre with 22 and Kyle Rosenberger with 10.

Upper Dublin 43, Wissahickon 39
Senior point guard DJ Cerisier took over the fourth quarter as Upper Dublin rallied to win a close one, edging rival Wissahickon Friday for its 12th straight win.
“He must have gone into a phone booth somewhere, because he turned into Superman,” Flying Cardinals coach Derek Brooks said about Cerisier. “He was phenomenal, play-after-play, finishing at the rim, hitting big free throws. He made plays with our press. He was huge. We needed someone to step up and he did.”
A two-time all-state defensive back for Upper Dublin’s football team, Cerisier will play that sport in college. He was one of a number of players who were late getting started in basketball because of the football team’s state playoff run into December. But his return to the team has been a big part of the Cardinals’ win streak.
“He’s great at both sports,” Brooks said. “If he wanted to play college basketball he could. He could be a Division III basketball player. He’s a special kid. He works extremely hard, he’s extremely coachable. All the success he gets, he deserves.”
Wissahickon led this one by as many as 11 in the second half. The Trojans, fighting for their playoff lives, were ready to play.
“I didn’t realize how packed it was until I started seeing video after the game,” Brooks said. “It was packed to the fullest for this one.
“I’ve always been a part of rivalry games. This one is on another level. … It’s pure animosity. No joking about it, they do not like each other. I didn’t realize how big a deal it was.
“Yesterday was the best practice of the year, by far. It was funny, because we came out of the gates slow. They practiced so hard because they care so much about beating Wissahickon.”
Dom Vacchiano had four 3-pointers and a team-high 14 for Wissahickon, but the Trojans went cold in the fourth quarter, scoring only seven points total. They were also 3-for-8 from the free throw line.
Upper Dublin trailed 32-27 heading into the fourth. Cerisier had 10 of his points in the fourth quarter. Brady Fogle had nine of his team-high 13 in the second half. Brooks also credited Terrell Turner, who missed six weeks of the season with a back injury and gave UD solid minutes on Friday.
UD (15-4, 11-2 SOL), holding at No. 4 in the District One Class 5A power ratings, looks to avenge a previous loss at Abington on Tuesday.

SOL Freedom Division
Cheltenham 77, Lower Moreland 65
Cheltenham jumped up big in the first half and then held off a huge charge by visiting Lower Moreland in the second half for the 12-point Freedom Division win on Friday.
“We shot very well in the first quarter and the second quarter, and we were up 19 at halftime,” Cheltenham coach Patrick Fleury said. “They’re a good team – they remind a lot of how the Phoenix Suns used to play because they’re very good with the draw and kick, and they shoot the 3 exceptionally well, and they play as a unit exceptionally well.”
The Panthers, who led 18-7 after one and 41-22 at halftime, saw that lead cut to 57-48 after three, as the Lions scored 26 points in the third quarter. Cheltenham put the game away going 16-for-20 from the free throw in the fourth quarter.
“For us, in the second half – which I knew would happen – they scored over 20 points a quarter, and that’s our challenge,” Fleury said. “You can’t be on a team that doesn’t defend. If you don’t defend, then you don’t give yourself a chance to win.
We were able because of our offense in the first half to build a sizable lead. The kids did band together, they withstood the crowd. We made our free throws down the stretch, which was great. It was just good to be on this side. They’re obviously a playoff team in their (classification), but at the end of the day, we just have to get to back to what the program was built on, which is defense and unselfishness, and we’ve got to see where the cards lie.”
Kamani Healey had a team-high 20, while Yakeen Respes added 17 and Malik Hughes 12 for the Panthers.
The two teams combined for 20 3-pointers in the game.
Lower Moreland’s Kevin Hegedus scored 21 points, including four 3-pointers. Tom Pryzblinski had nine points in the fourth quarter and 14 for the game, while John Kroll had seven in the fourth quarter and 10 for the game.
Cheltenham (9-8, 8-5 SOL) started the night at No. 28 in the Class 6A power rankings and has a huge game Tuesday at first place William Tennent.

Springfield Twp 47, New Hope-Solebury 45 (OT)
Dylan McKenzie scored 24 points, 12 in the fourth quarter and four in overtime to lead Springfield to the win over New Hope-Solebury on Friday night.
“We were down, we made a run back, and after the half, we picked it up, more ball pressure,” said Springfield coach Rob Fasano. “We played better in the second half. It was tied, Dylan got in the paint, had a chance, but I think he got blocked a little bit.
“We went into overtime and ended up pulling it out. I’m just glad we pulled through.”
McKenzie also had seven rebounds and three steals. Miles Goodwin had 10 points, five rebounds and four steals.
As a team, however, Springfield had to overcome a rough night at the free throw line as it went 10-for-32 as a team.
“We stayed consistent, we kept fighting,” Fasano said. “We did miss a lot of free throws. I think we were 10-for-32, but even missing that many, we stayed with it. The kids fought to the end and ended up getting the win, which was good.”
Liam Ross scored 20 points to lead New Hope.

William Tennent 72, Upper Moreland 69 (OT)
It took overtime, but William Tennent maintained its one-game lead atop the Freedom Division standings with the three-point win at Upper Moreland.
“It was very similar to last Friday night,” Panthers coach Robert Mullville said, comparing the game to his team’s win over Abington. “It was back-and-forth and this one went into overtime. And there were lead changes in overtime. We were fortunate enough to pull it out there.”
George Marion, who scored a team-high 26 for Tennent, gave his team the lead with 30 seconds left in overtime. After a UM miss, Isaiah Dawson hit one of two from the line, and then after another stop, Marion made it a three-point game by making one of two with five seconds remaining.
Upper Moreland did get off a potential tying 3-point attempt, but it was off the mark.
“George had his best game of the season,” Mullville said about Marion. “He ended up with 26 points, and probably had more than 10 rebounds. Kirby (Mooney) ended up with 23.
“We went with the starters for a little bit longer than we usually do. (Danny) Scheller, (Evan) Devor and Dawson played the majority of the second half and almost all of the fourth quarter. We didn’t sub as much as we usually do. We normally sub in and out, but Upper Moreland is so much taller than we are, and our subs are a little bit undersized.”
Jon Clark’s 24 points led the Golden Bears, and Alex Best – whose shot tied the game with 20 seconds remaining in regulation – added 15. Sean Murphy also finished in double figures with 10, and Colson Campbell added nine.
Tennent (13-5, 9-4 SOL) remained one game ahead of Cheltenham in the Freedom Division standings and the two teams play on Tuesday. First, the Panthers, who No. 11 in the District One power rankings, have a nonleague game Saturday against New Foundations Charter.
Upper Moreland (11-8, 5-8 SOL), No. 9 in the Class 5A power rankings, look to bounce back against Springfield on Tuesday.

SOL Patriot Division
Council Rock North 53, Bensalem 52
With the score deadlocked, Jack Blum drew a foul and then made one of two free throws with 4.8 seconds remaining to give CR North the huge home win against Bensalem.
The win keeps the playoff hopes alive for the Indians (10-8, 7-6 SOL) No. 31 in the power rankings, while Bensalem (10-8, 6-7 SOL) was No. 22 for the 24-team tournament. Each team has three games remaining.
“Jack made a great move, went hard to the basket, drew contract and the refs called a foul,” said CR North assistant Tyler Sessa-Reeves. “He missed the first, Bensalem called timeout, and he came back and made the second. That was a big time shot for him.”
Bensalem shot at the buzzer fell short.
“The second time around the league is tough,” Sessa-Reeves said. “Bensalem is tough. I have so much respect for their program. Ron Morris is a great guy, and his kids play super hard. It’s a huge win for us. We went there the first time, it was close for three quarters, and they got the best of us.
“Tonight, Micah (Oxley), our point guard, fouled out. Adam had four (fouls). Jack had four. Tyler Rodowicz and Oliver Schaefer stepped up for us. We were lucky enough to come out with the win.”
The Indians led this one almost throughout, including by 12 at halftime, before Bensalem was able to cut into the lead in the second half. The Owls were able to tie the game with under a minute to go, CR North called timeout with 12 seconds left and set up the final play.
Blum finished with 21 points, 9-for-11 from the free throw line, while Mahtat had 10. Those two have been rocks for the team this season, but CR North’s younger players have continued to improve throughout the season.
“Coming into the season, Adam and Jack were the only two guys that saw any meaningful varsity minutes (last year),” Sessa-Reeves said. “The other guards were learning what we want to do, and also adjusting to playing at the varsity level.
“Micah (Oxley) is so talented. He’s such a nice kid, so coachable and he’s learning every single day in practice. Cole McCarthy didn’t play much at all as a junior, and he’s stepped up for us. Oliver Schaefer is getting better every single day at practice, learning what it’s like to be a varsity player. He’s a shooter and is learning what it takes to get his shot off.”
Bensalem was led by Eric Gonzalez with 16 points, while Jaidyn Moffitt added 15.

SOL Colonial Division
Central Bucks East 61, Central Bucks South 57 (OT)
The SOL Colonial’s top team welcomed one of the division’s hottest teams on Friday, and what transpired was an overtime thriller. In the end, first-place CB East was able to emerge with the four-point win.
“I really thought South was playing their best basketball, especially the last couple of games,” said CB East coach Erik Henrysen. “(CB South’s Tyler) Meinel is really tough. I thought he played a really good game. I thought we could have finished it out in regulation, but ultimately, we found a way.
“We got stops when we needed to. Meinel was so tough all night. We had a tough time on the glass all night. But we came up with some key rebounds towards the end in overtime.”
Meinel scored 20 points for CB South.
“He scores at all three levels – he gets to the basket, he shoots the ‘3’, he shoots the pull-up,” Henrysen said. “He’s comfortable handling the ball, is a tremendous athlete and when he elevates, it’s a real problem.”
Senior Kyle Berndt had a big night for the Patriots, finishing with 22 points and 10 rebounds.
“This is what Kyle can do,” Henrysen said. “We’ve felt Kyle was being too unselfish the last couple of games. We wanted him to come out firing. When he shoots the ball, he’s one of the better shooters in our area.
“South did a good job against (Joey) Giordano and (Jacob) Cummiskey. They clogged the lane, but Kyle stepped up. You have to give credit to (South). They did a good job keeping us from penetrating. We had to find opportunities from the outside.”
Giordano finished with 11 points for East, while Cummiskey had nine, six rebounds and four assists, and Justin DiRoberto added eight, including a key 3-pointer that gave his team the momentum in overtime.
Flynn Carroll had 14 points for the Titans, including the tying 3-pointer with 14 seconds left in regulation that sent the game to overtime. Chris Granito added 11 points.
