In its last game, St. Mary’s fought all the way back from a 24-point third-quarter deficit to defeat Bishop Fenwick with only a few precious seconds remaining.Last night, events were not as exhilarating, but the result was just as satisfying.Nine players scored for the Spartans, and John Bakopolus set the pace with six threes and a game-high 22 points in St. Mary’s 66-53 victory over visiting St. Clement.”We’ve been off since we played Fenwick over a week ago, and we came out fairly rusty,” said Spartan coach Kevin Moran. “After the first, our defense’s intensity picked up, and our overall effort improved.”The score was 13-9 at the end of the opening quarter, but scoring came easier in the second quarter and St. Mary’s held a 37-25 advantage at halftime. Although the Spartan offense dropped off slightly in the second half, the defense found a groove, and the team maintained a significant lead for the remainder of the contest.Tyler Grillo, who swished in the game-winning three against Fenwick, dropped in 11 to go along with seven assists and four steals. Seniors Chris Kefalas (six points) and Nick Conti (five points) each came off the bench and provided a spark for their team with their pressure defense.For the Anchors, Gerald Contaldi scored a team-high 18 points, and Rudy Donilier added 15.St. Mary’s will welcome first-place Cathedral on Wednesday night at 7. It is the rescheduled time for last Monday’s game, which was canceled due to a snowstorm.M’head 56, Pentucket 33At Marblehead, the Magician D almost single-handedly propelled the home team to its seventh win of the season.The Marblehead (7-3) defense held Pentucket to 20 percent shooting from the field, and kept its opponent to just six points in the first and third quarters. What’s more, only one Pentucket player scored six points.On the offensive end, junior guard Brandon Lee scored two-thirds as many points (22) as Pentucket managed for the entire contest, and coach Wayne Hanscom called Lee’s performance his best of the season.With a 26-16 lead at halftime, the Magicians squashed any hopes of a Pentucket rally with a 10-0 run to begin the third quarter and ultimately entered the fourth up 46-22.Point guard Pat Song dished out six assists to go along with five points, and Damola Abu scored 10. Taariq Allen (eight points) and Tom Powers (four points) each had seven rebounds.GIRLS BASKETBALLG’town 49, Lynnfield 35At Lynnfield, a potent second-quarter scoring attack by the Royals offense proved to be the difference against a shorthanded Pioneer team.Georgetown led by four entering the second quarter, but an 18-7 run built an insurmountable advantage.”The broke our press and got four or five fast-break layups,” said Lynnfield coach Bill Adams. “We had our chances, but we didn’t shoot well, which is the story of our season.”Besides the 12-point scoring differential in the second quarter, the Royals only outscored the Pioneers by a combined four points for the rest of the contest despite the fact Lynnfield was down starter Nicole Crawford (ankle injury). Starting guard Jaime Harris played sparingly in her first game back after missing last week with an illness.”We really missed (Nicole’s) presence, and it forced us to move Harris to a different position,” Adams said.Alison Newell led Lynnfield with a game-high 14 points, and Sam Harris scored seven in the loss.The Pioneers hope to improve upon their 2-11 record at Amesbury on Wednesday.FENCINGBp. Feehan 15, St. John’s 12At Bishop Feehan, the Shamrocks ended the Prep’s perfect season in a tight contest on Monday afternoon.”There were seven bouts that were decided by one hit, and they all went against us,” said Eagle coach James Carter. “It was not a particularly stick-to-it-ive day for the Prep.”If we win even two of those bouts, it would have been a 14-13 win for us.”Saugus’ Chris Pappas had a strong day for the Prep (7-1). The senior won all three of his matches in sabre. In foil, Julian Cardillo also finished an unblemishe
