‘Cliff Back To Dominating Ways
15 01 2008
Alex Gulotta scored 19 points — including five 3-pointers — to lead the Bears to a 76-58 victory over the visiting Croton-Harmon Tigers.
Notes on the game:
* Gulotta was on fire from downtown. He looked as “in the zone” as a shooter can be. Remember when Michael Jordan shrugged his shoulders during the NBA finals against the Portland Trailblazers? Yea, it was kinda like that for Gulotta.
* Like they have been able to do to a lot of their opponents this season, the Bears simply out muscled the Tigers in the paint. Muratori (6 points), Lombardi (23 points), and Beechum (11 points) are simply too much for most Class B teams to handle for an entire game. Lincoln Hall is probabyly the only team that can match their strength and inside presence in all of Class B. For this reason, the United have the most realistic shot of knocking off the Bears come playoff time. Will that happen? No, probably not.
* Croton’s Alex Judge, who went down with a season ending knee injury against Byram Hills on Jan. 9, is sorely missed. Judge’s length, shooting touch and ability to run the floor leaves a gaping hole in the Tigers’ offense. Coach Bill Thom was in search of leadership from his seniors after the loss.
