Friday, February 15, 2013 • SPENCER NEW LEADER 9 Blizzard clothes region in a blanket of white

BY DAVID DORE NEW LEADER STAFF WRITER Depending on who you ask, Spencer’s 31-inch snow total from the Blizzard of 2013 was No. 1, No. 2 or No. 3 in Massachusetts. For a while on Saturday, Feb. 9, the National Weather Service’s list of accumulations put Spencer at the top in both Worcester County and statewide. But larger amounts soon emerged from Boston television stations. A list published Saturday afternoon on the WBZ-TV website, which stated it was from the weather service’s Skywarn program, put Spencer at No. 3, behind West Boylston’s 34 inches and Stoughton’s 31.5 inches. A list from WCVB-TV that appeared on Twitter Saturday night didn’t include West Boylston or Stoughton, but it did put Spencer in the second spot behind a 31.5-inch report from Mansfield. Even the National Weather Service had trouble deciding if Spencer had indeed taken the top spot or had to set- tle for runner-up.

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER LEICESTER — Leading almost wire to wire, the Leicester High varsity boys’ basketball team held off a late charge from Southbridge High on Feb. 5. The Pioneers turned a 24-point deficit into a seven-point game midway through the fourth quarter, 66-59, but the Wolverines ended the game on an 11-4 run to win a 77-63 decision. Leicester won first quarter scor- ing 14-10 and the second quarter 18- 16 to lead 32-26 at halftime. “I thought we executed what we wanted to do, which was get the ball to the middle of their zone [and] get it to our bigs under the hoop,” Wolverines head coach Michael Lynch said. “I thought we did a nice job of that in that first half.” But despite shooting 11 of 37 from the field through the first two quar- ters, Southbridge was still in the game. The Pioneers continued to keep the game in single digits during the duration of the third quarter, but each run was stopped abruptly by a Leicester basket. The Wolverines led through three, 54-40. Then, in the fourth quarter, Leicester led by 24 points until Southbridge’s Will Watkins came alive. Watkins buried consecutive 3- pointers, followed with an offensive rebound and putback, and then was good from downtown one more time, making it a seven-point game. Mykeem Minton of the Wolverines ended the rally, though, with a 3-pointer of his own, push- ing Leicester’s lead to 10 points, 69- 59. The Wolverines improved to 6-10, while the Pioneers dropped to 5-12. Lynch said his goal is to “get our program headed in the right direc- tion” after consecutive one-win sea- Nick Ethier photos Jacob Morrow of Leicester holds the ball away from the Southbridge defense. sons.

Friday, February 15, 2013 • SPENCER NEW LEADER 11 SPORTS Cardona creates problems for Wolverines in second half as Pioneers prevail

BY NICK ETHIER SPORTS STAFF WRITER LEICESTER — With Leicester High leading Southbridge High 22- 18 at halftime on Feb. 5, both coach- es felt like their respective team would have what it takes to emerge victorious in the second half. “We went into halftime pretty confident, happy with how things were going,” Wolverines head coach Dave Stanick said. “We were only down four at half- time,” explained Pioneers head coach Elvin Rodriguez. “I told them we had the game in our hands. I said we had to step it up defensively. The third quarter was immense.” As Rodriguez mentioned, the all- important third quarter was the difference maker, and it belonged to Southbridge. The Pioneers won the frame 16-9 and then the fourth quarter 14-13 to hold onto a 48-44 victory. The win puts Southbridge at 8-8, while Leicester dropped to 5-11 and is officially out of postseason con- tention. “I think both teams knew coming into it what was at stake,” Stanick said. “If we win we put ourselves in good position to get to the post- season. If they win they almost nail down a postseason berth. Both teams knew it…the environment was certainly there for it.” Janetis Cardona of the Pioneers was the player who took the second half message most to heart. “I felt like we had to step it up Nick Ethier photos [with] intensity and keep our heads in it,” she said. “We said we needed Leicester’s Laura Quink elevates over Southbridge defender this win.

Leicester, meanwhile, will look back on this loss and their previous setback, a three-point loss to Grafton. “These were definitely two games that we were in and if we do a few things different and make a few shots or make a stop, then it could have been opposite,” Stanick said. “We could have won those two games and been 7-9.” Meyers (13 points), Laura Quink (11 points) and Amanda Stanick (10 rebounds) helped keep the Wolverines — and their postseason dreams — alive Amanda Stanick of Leicester eyes the hoop before taking — and until the game’s final moments. making — a first quarter 3-pointer.

STURBRIDGE — In what can be deemed a mis- match on Feb. 7, the St. Peter-Marian varsity boys’ basketball team — a top Division 1 threat — had too much size, strength and athleticism when they took the court versus Tantasqua, a struggling, young and injured D1 squad. The Guardians led 19-4 after one quarter and upped its halftime advantage to 42-8 before winning a 67-33 decision. The Warriors scored the third quarter’s first 9 points, but overall the two teams tied second half scoring, 25-25. Corey Gatta paced Tantasqua with 23 points, while JJ Howland was next with 5 points. The Warriors dropped to 3-13, while St. Peter- Marian improved to 13-5.
