Non-league
NESHAMINY 55, AVON GROVE 49 (OT)
Chris Arcidiacono had himself quite a night on Monday.
The junior sharpshooter spent the contest taking trips to the foul line. After connecting on three field goals and scoring eight points in the first quarter, Arcidiacono did not have another field goal the rest of the way, but he scored 19 of his game-high 27 points in the final three quarters and overtime – all at the foul line.
“He does a great job of attacking,” coach Mark Tingle said. “Chris had a huge game.”
Arcidiacono also had 11 rebounds to complete an impressive double-double.
The visiting Redskins – behind 14 points from Arcidiacono – led 22-19 at halftime, but they scored just three points in a third quarter that saw the Red Devils open up a 35-25 lead heading into the final frame.
Mark Gentry connected on a clutch three-pointer with 15 seconds remaining to knot the score and send the game into overtime where the Redskins seized control, outscoring their hosts 11-5. Anthony Papeo scored five points in OT, which included a three-pointer, while Arcidiacono was a perfect 6-for-6 at the foul line.
Papeo finished with eight points while Gentry added seven.
