New Canaan 4th Grade Travel Basketball Sweeps Doubleheader
|
The New Canaan Rams Black 4th grade travel basketball team took both games of a doubleheader on Sunday at the Brewster Sports Center, defeating Armonk 36-12 then knocking off the previously unbeaten Tri-State Thunder 31-27. Making the sweep especially impressive was the fact that only six players were available to play due to the games coinciding with the end of the NCPS winter break. New Canaan came out strong against Armonk in the first game, building a 29-2 lead at halftime. Leading the way for NC was Matt Salmini, who made 7 consecutive baskets en route to a game-high 14 points. Salmini also pulled down a team-leading 9 rebounds as New Canaan dominated the glass on both ends of the floor.
