The Westwood 6th grade boys basketball team defeated Natick on Sunday to win the Metrowest Championship at the Mass Premier Courts.
On the way to the title, the boys in green defeated Stoughton, # 3 seed Medway, Walpole, and #1 seed Natick.
Westwood outscored the Red Raiders 15-11 in the fourth quarter for a thrilling 43-41 come from behind win including going 7 of 8 from the foul line in the closing minutes.
With Westwood leading 43-38 with 30 seconds to play one of the Natick sharpshooters hit a long 3 pointer to cut the lead to 2. After a steal, the top seed had a chance for a final shot. They went for the win but this time the three pointer was deflected and Westwood captured the rebound as time expired. Jubilation at center court ensued.
A terrific team win, the boys played well in all aspects of the game. Excelling on defense were Eric Bamford, Brendan Gotti, Conor Connaughton, & Michael McCarthy all taking turns on Natick's top players. Strong work on the boards was provided by Steven Daley, Michael Walsh, Matthew Allegrezza, and Matthew Talcott. Aiding the offense were Kevin Murray, William Jessup, Michael Leonard, & Brandon Moy.
Congratulations to the boys for all their hard work.

At 6:20 PM on Sunday, March 15th on the Mass Premier courts, the Westwood 8A boys’ basketball team faced Medfield for the 3rd time this year. But this time, the outcome meant more than all previous encounters.This time, the prize was the Metro West title that had slipped through their hands three years
earlier. The game started slowly as the emotions of both teams were evident. It was back and forth until Richard Han came off the bench and hit a 3 point shot at the end of the first quarter and opened up the game. Medfield shot very well from the field. However, Westwood in the 3rd quarter was matching their field goals with 3's. Joe Lally and Dave Driscoll each stepped to the arc and drilled three 3's each. Jonathan Allegrezza had a key 3-point play on a coast to coast left-handed lay-up. Jackson Bockhorst, John Gebhard and Alex Beach were a force inside at both ends, intimidating anyone venturing into the paint. Alex Berluti, as throughout the playoffs, was a steady shooting hand especially from the charity strip. Mario Perry played great defense on the perimeter against a very good shooting team and led the fast break. Casey McQuillan and Brandon Rodenbush each turned in their normal Red Bull performance, opting to play as if they drank jet fuel instead of Gatorade!
The end result was a 12-point win that the boys will always hopefully remember. However, the player that might’ve had the best day was George Price....he was on a beach in the Cayman Islands!
We began the season playing at halftime on the Celtics’ parquet and ended with a Title
in the Metro West. A special thanks to Coach Lally for his calm demeanor and the great energy he put into the program. | | | | by denise friedeborn posted 08/06/2008 Westwood Basketball Association hopes that every one who plays in-town or travel basketball has a positive basketball experience.
