Quaboag got solid contributions across the board as Jake Wisniewski (15 points, 8 rebounds) and Greg Sokol (12 Jon Gouin photos points, 5 rebounds) also had nice games.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER WORCESTER — Despite los- ing a 79-31 decision to Sutton High in the quarterfinal round of the Clark Tournament Small Schools bracket on Feb. 16, North Brookfield senior Cory Heyes made it a special day by register- ing his 1,000th career point at the Kneller Athletic Center. With 4:30 to play until half- time, Heyes received a pass at the defensive end and did the rest. He crossed the midcourt line and promptly dribbled into the paint, flying through the air — up and around two Sammies defenders — finishing an acrobatic layup for the milestone achievement. The announced crowd of 989 then showed their support for Heyes, giving him a standing ova- tion shortly thereafter during a break in the action. For Heyes, scoring 1,000 points brought a personal satisfaction. Two of Heyes’ athletic inspira- tions, his mother Christine and his grandfather Joseph, passed away in the recent years. “Seeing them two pass made me strive for that goal,” Heyes said. “That was one of my main goals, to get 1,000.” Heading into the game need- ing five points to reach his goal, Heyes got just two in the first quarter as second seeded Sutton raced to leads of 10-2 and 22-4 before ending the frame up by 21 Nick Ethier photos points, 27-6.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER AUBURN — The Auburn High girls’ varsity basketball team opened their Senior Night contest against Tantasqua, played Feb. 14, as if shot out of a cannon, rac- ing to a 21-5 lead at the end of the first quarter. From there, though, the Warriors found their bearings and fought back, closing the gap to within four points with about a minute to play. But in the end the Rockets held on, winning a 52-45 decision. They are now 14-5 with a game to be played after press time before the Central Mass. district tour- nament. “We came out with a lot of inten- sity,” Auburn head coach Ellen Kaschuluk said of the extremely positive start. “We were playing tough defense [and] making our shots.” After Tantasqua’s Claudia Fleshman opened the game with a 3-pointer, the Rockets embarked on a 16-0 run to really set the tone. “You can’t get down 21-5 and dig such deep a hole,” Warriors head coach Tom Goyette said. “We knew they were going to come fired up…but also we came out pretty sluggish. That combination didn’t work out too well.” But, Goyette was quick to add that from that point forward his team played extremely well. “We fought hard in the last three quarters and it was a bas- ketball game,” he said. Tantasqua scored the first six points of the second quarter and ended up winning the frame, 14-10, to cut the deficit down to 12 Photos courtesy Mark Seliger, SeligerPhotography.ExposureManager.com points (31-19) by halftime.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER AUBURN — All game long against Auburn High on Feb. 14, the Tantasqua boys’ var- sity basketball team fought back from defi- cit after deficit. And although the Warriors never tied it up or took the lead against the Rockets — they ended up losing, 61-54 — the future could look bright in Sturbridge. “We came out real flat,” explained Tantasqua head coach Tom O’Neil. “We got down 10 in the first quarter and 13 in the first half.” Auburn, playing determined basketball on Senior Night, raced to a 5-0 lead just 30 sec- onds in. The Rockets held a 23-13 lead after one quarter and upped the advantage to 34-21 by halftime. And, on top of the overall score, Auburn senior DJ Scavone (27 points,) scored his 1,000th career point with 57 seconds to play in the second quarter on a free throw. Despite all the obsta- cles, Tantasqua turned it around in the second half after O’Neil called his team out during the tance at 51-42. O’Neil likes what he sees out break. Later in the quarter Reilly of Brooks, who scored a career- “This is not my team Lucas took the ball inside for high 20 points, and Howland (12 that I’ve been coaching two, making it 55-47.
