Worcester Academy 88, Cheshire Academy 75

Worcester forced plenty of Cheshire turnovers, leading to easy transition buckets. On the inside, Darryl Reynolds was tough to stop. The 6-foot-8 big man dominated the glass.

Masters School 96, Williston 82

Austin Carter and Donte Gittens dominated at different times for Masters School. Both were defensive sparks when they needed, each getting out on the break and finishing above the rim. Williston was playing shorthanded and got a great performance from freshman wing Tyonne Malone. The 6-foot-3 Malone poured in a day-high 34 points, 20 in the second half. Williston went on a 7-2 run to end the half, cutting the Masters' lead to 49-43. Masters responded to open the half, going on a 12-4 run and never looking back.

Mack Montague led Suffield with 15 points, while Kendall Jackson got teammates involved and good looks with his penetration. 

ALMA Academy 72, Cheshire Academy 64 OT

Cheshire Academy was playing its second game of the day, only to fall in overtime. Cheshire fell behind in the second half, but were able to regain the lead, led by some big shots by sophomore guard Patchie Kehoe. Cheshire got a good look at the buzzer, but Eric Suder's attempt was off the mark. In overtime, ALMA jumped out to an early start, gaining a five-point lead.
