Source: The Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.迷你倉Jan. 10--YATESVILLE -- Speeding toward yet another victory, Pittston Area pumped the brakes a little bit Thursday night.It wasn't an easy task, yet it led to a seventh consecutive victory.The Patriots slowed down the pace in the second half and held off a few minor comeback attempts by Dallas to post a 49-39 win in a Wyoming Valley Conference Division I boys basketball game.Pittston Area (2-0 Div. I, 7-3 overall) scored its last field goal of the game at 1:05 of the third quarter on a drive by Hassan Maxwell. The Patriots then decided running down the clock rather running up their 41-28 made more sense."I thought we did a pretty good job in the second half," Alan Kiesinger said. "They were in a junk defense and we decided we're going to make them come out and play us man-to-man. We were able to be patient, and that's tough for high school kids to do. Especially for guys who like to score."The Patriots scored enough in the fourth despite not hitting on any of their three field goal attempts. Dallas (0-2, 3-7) moved within 43-37 with 2:06 to play, but failed to slice the deficit twice in a 38-second span thereafter. Pittston Area's Mason Gross connected on all six of his free throws in the final minute to seal the victory.Gross, a 6-foot-5 senior, finished with a game-high 18 points. He and 6-5 teammate Tyler McGarry grabbed nine rebounds each. The backcourt also did its job as Maxwell made some nifty short drives to finish with 16 points.The guards up top -- Mike Schwab, Kyle Gattuso, Hassan -- they all played great," Gross said. "They were taken care of the ball, and then we had guys hitting shots like James Emmett."Emmett had a pair of three-pointers in the third quarter, each one pushing Pittston Area's lead back to double digits. The Patriots led throughout after Gross opened the game with a three-pointer from the left corner.Dallas made some inroads in the second half once big man Suk Mathon was able to get more involved in the offense. The 6-8 sophomore, who finished with 15 points and 10 boards, paced a 9-2 run to start the fourth quarter. The Mountaineers, who have already equalled last season's win total, were unable to sustain the run."Our whole thing is we have to play together. We don't have a star," Dallas coach Doug Miller said. "We have players who when they play together are dangerous. But if we don't play together and execute our offense, we have a tough time."Defensively, Dallas held its fourth consecutive opponent to 50 points or less. The caveat was the offense had its worst output of the season.Hazleton Area 64, Coughlin 44Sal Biasi ignited for 32 points for Hazleton Area. Biasi hit 14 field goals, including four 3-pointers. Kyle Karmonick added 13 points, and Reynal Santana contributed 11.Coughlin's Darik Johnson was a point shy of a double-double with nine points and 10 rebounds.Tunkhannock 87, Berwick 57Austin Yanora had a big night with 47 points for the Tigers, draining eight three-pointers. Sean Soltysiak had the next highest total with 15 points.Tyler Evans led the way for the Bulldogs, sinking five three-pointers. Dalo also contributed with 20 points.Crestwood 73, Wyoming Valley West 50After trailing b迷你倉將軍澳 two after the first quarter, the Comets never looked back as Chris Fazzini led the way with 22 points. Luke Casey (16 points) and Brady Gallagher (11 points) also reached double figures.Jamie Calloway was the only player for the Spartans to reach double digits in points with 20.Pittston Area 49, Dallas 39DALLAS (39) -- Chad DeBona 3 0-0 8, Stephen Wempa 1 0-0 2, Suk Mathon 4 7-8 15, Matt Ross 1 2-2 4, Allen Fell 3 2-4 8, Payden Rybicki 1 0-0 2, Gurmail Mathon 0 0-0 0, Brian Drouse 0 0-0 0, Michael Farrell 0 0-0 0.
