He went on to score 10 of his team's first 14 points to help build a 14-9 lead with 14:43 remaining in the opening half. Baskets from Precieux and Kedrick Frink trimmed the deficit to one nearly two minutes later. Four Chris McAboy (Martinsburg, W.Va./St. Maria Goretti [Md.]) free throws and a Joey Reiling (Mullica Hill, N.J./Clearview Regional) 3-pointer keyed a 7-2 stretch that pushed the advantage to 21-15 with 11:10 showing. A Josh Arruda (Morrisville, Pa./Pennsbury) jumper gave the Green Terror its largest first-half lead at 32-23 with 5:11 to play. A Mike Wallace (Wilmington, Del./Salesianum School) driving layup as the clock expired in the first half made it a 36-29 game at the break.
• A Josh Sproul 3-pointer capped a 7-0 burst in 80 seconds to stretch the lead to 43-31 with 15:58 remaining. Four straight Washington points cut the deficit to single digits a minute later but two Truby free throws with 14:34 on the clock pushed the lead back to double digits and the game never fell below a 10-point margin again. An Arruda three-point play with 7:08 remaining made it a 20-point game for the first time, opening up a 60-39 advantage. A 12-0 run pushed the lead to 31 at 72-41 with 2:57 to play, securing the victory.
