BY JOSHUA SPAULDING Sports Editor PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth hoop boys entered the final week of the regular season in need of a win to keep hopes of a playoff berth alive.

That didn’t quite happen against Coe-Brown on Tuesday, March 3. “We had too many mental lapses to be a good team tonight,” Sul- livan said. “And they came at different por- JOSHUA SPAULDING tions of the game.
