PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA – Hitting a long range bomb at the buzzer, the Bradford boy’s basketball team completed their comeback over Punxsutawney, earning redemption in the form of a 33-31 win in hostile territory.
After finding themselves down 19-9 at the half, the Owls began chipping away at the deficit with a big scoring burst in the third quarter and staunch defense in the fourth. Ultimately, with just over a minute left, Bradford still faced a one-point gap on the scoreboard. Getting a defensive stop and calling a timeout, the Owls gave the greenlight to Carter Roulo, who took aim from long range and splashed home a 3-pointer at the horn.
Roulo ended with a team-high 11 points, also collecting nine rebounds and three blocks in the win. In his return to action, Tarren Reese produced nine points, four rebounds and a steal while Danny Marasco had six points, seven rebounds and an assist.
