AMENIA — Webutuck’s first appearance in the Section IX tournament in more than a decade ended in the preliminary round Saturday, Feb. 28, with a hard-fought 50-45 loss to S.S. Seward Institute.
Webutuck hosted the game, with local spectators and visitors filling the bleachers in the gym for the first round of the Sectional tournament. S.S. Seward opened up scoring in the game, racking up 10 points in the first quarter.
Webutuck quickly adjusted, mounting defensive pressure and picking up the pace offensively to keep S.S. Seward's score within reach.
By the half, Webutuck was only down by two points.
The Wildcats kept up with S.S. Seward through the next half, pulling ahead enough to lead S.S. Seward 39-36 at the end of the third quarter.
But the Spartans made a final push in the last quarter, scoring 14 points and holding Webutuck to just six points to win the game 50-45.
Webutuck senior Evan Bremmer led the wildcats in scoring, racking up 20 points in the final game of his high school career
