Fans filled the bleachers in Webutuck’s high school gym rooting for both teams and occasionally trying to coach the players.
Webutuck’s biggest struggle in the night was securing rebounds, evidenced by shouts from coaching staff and fans alike to “crash the boards,” and “box out.” The Wildcats’ struggle under the net let Millbrook get more possessions and more attempts at the goal per possession throughout the night. For basketball laymen, the squad which can get more shots up almost always scores more.
By halftime of the varsity game, Millbrook was leading Webutuck by more than 15 points — a lead which would turn out to be insurmountable. Webutuck responded to Millbrook’s performance in the first half by ramping up the heat slightly in the second, but their efforts were in vain. Millbrook matched almost every Webutuck basket.
The Webutuck boys will return to the court on Friday, Jan. 31, when Onteora High School visits for another Friday night game at Webutuck High School.
The Millbrook boys will host Rhinebeck High School Friday, Jan. 31, as well.
