By Mike Alongi ITEM STAFF LYNN — The Tech boys basketball team needed a win Friday night if it wanted to keep its state tourna- ment hopes alive. But Greater Lawrence had other plans as the Reggies took down the Tigers, 56-41 at Tech’s Field House. The loss drops Tech to 6-11 on the year, mathematically eliminating the Tigers from qualifying for the state tournament. “It was a tough game for us, we just couldn’t hit a shot and they hit all their shots,” said Tech coach Stevie Patrick. “The effort was there all night on both sides of the ball, but the execution wasn’t there.” Rob Wallace led the way for the Tigers in the loss, putting up a big double-double with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Wallace, a senior, is now just 49 points away from 1,000 for his career with three games left to play. Qasim Abellard (six points, 19 rebounds) and Buba Ceesay (four points, 12 rebounds) also played well for Tech. Things started going wrong for Tech early and often in this one. Behind some great defense, Greater Law- rence forced Tech into a number of turnovers and took an early 10-4 lead before Patrick called a timeout to calm things down. It worked for the time being, as the Tigers went on a small run to nish the quarter trail- ITEM PHOTO | OWEN O’ROURKE ing 16-11.
