ROXBOROUGH 68, DOCK 57 >> The Pioneers struggled to contain Roxborough’s quickness early on, with the Indian backcourt proving too quick off the dribble for Dock to defend man to man.
Offensively, the Pioneers were able to get whatever shot they wanted out of their offense, but were simply unable to convert.
Despite a rough start, Dock was within 14-9 after one quarter, and then the Pioneers switched to their zone defense in the second, in hopes to slow down the Indian attack.
Justin Burk holder chipped in 10 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, helping Dock cut the lead down to as little as five with three minutes left in regulation, but late foul trouble landed the Indians in the bonus, and Roxborough made free throws down the stretch to put the game away. BRISTOL 61, CHRISTOPHER DOCK 53 >> The Pioneers came out aggressive against a fast Warrior squad Tuesday night, able to force four turnovers in the first quarter, all of which led to scores.
Junior Justin Burkholder started off another great shooting night, with two of his game-high four 3-pointers in the opening period.
While the Pioneers repeatedly went one for two from the line, Bristol was able to connect on its field goals and free throws in crunch time.
