Inside game ma-
terializes in win
in league opener

BALL HAWK - Zack Lowe (31) battles for a rebound for the BHS boys
basketball team during the Raiders' 86-69 win over Bridgewater-
Raynham last Friday in Hyannis.
FREEBIE - BHS forward Donny Campbell launches a free throw during the
Raiders' 86-69 win over Bridgewater-Raynham in Hyannis last Friday.
After last Friday's decisive
86-69 win over Bridgewater-
Raynham, a sportswriter told
BHS boys basketball coach
Sean Donovan he didn't real-
ize the Raiders had the kind
of inside game they had just
demonstrated.
"I didn't either," said the
coach.
Hewasn't altogether serious,
of course. What he meant was
the Raiders hadn't shown a
consistent inside presence in
their six games prior to the
B-R contest.
Indeed , they hadn't per-
formed with consistency in
general, especially at the of-
fensive end,scoring87pointsin
one game. 53the next,then 90,
then 53 again, then 48, before
getting into the 80s in back-
to-back contests for the first
time-alsothe 4-3Raiders'first
back-to-back victories
"The first couple of games
wejust weren't playingconsis-
tently,"Donovan said. "Hope-
fully they're getting more con-
sistent. That's all I can hope
for."
Barnstable doesn't have
a 7-footer, or even a 6-foot-6
guy, but the team has enough
size and strength to hold its
own in the paint against most
opponents.
Against B-R , Barnstable
hauled down 25 offensive re-
bounds,and collected itsshare
of second-chance points.
"I thought we got pretty
lucky tonight with some tips,"
Donovan said.
Trueenough,but that means
the inside players were stand-
ing their ground down low,
working to be in position to
get a hand on the ball. Half of
being in the right place at the
right timeis being in the right
place, and you won't be if you
let the other guyget the better
position.
"They're becoming a little
more aware of what we can
do down low," said Donovan.
"We're finally getting some
consistency from our guys
down low, all our guys."
Senior captains Brian Klotz
and Zack Lowe led the team
with 10 and nine rebounds re-
spectively,whilejunior Donny
Campbell added seven.
A year ago, Lowe was a pro-
totypical outside shooter, the
Raiders' top threat to fight it
upfrombeyondthethree-point
arc. He had a three-pointer
amonghis10pointsFriday,but
Donovanseemedmore excited
about his work inside.
"We're trying to make guys
understand that they can be
complete players," he said.
Hewasalsopleased withthe
team's unselfish play.
"What'sreallyneat iswehad
24 assists as a team," he said.
Junior BrianMaloneyledthe
way with six, and sophomore
Chris Higgins added five.
Higginsled the team inscor-
ingwith 19,hitting three of his
six three-point at-
tempts,includingtwo
inthe stretch midway
through the second
halfwhenthe Raiders
pulled away,convert-
ing amargin that had
been hovering in the
low double-digits to
the high double-digit
lead they maintained
for the rest of the
contest.
Campbell had 16
points, and Klotz had
12, including a three-
pointer. He also hit
three of his four free
throws.
Maloney 's eight
points included a
three-pointer,seniors
Kevin Riley and Pat-
rick Sullivan added
seven points each,
junior Kevin Moran
scored five and ju-
nior Tim Norton had
two.
Even when the lead
became insurmount-
able in the closing
minutes , Donovan
stuckwithhisregularrotation.
That's because the rotation
includes all 11members of the
varsity.
"I've got 11 guys that work
pretty hard and want to win,"
said the coach.
All see meaningful minutes
-the team has no end-of-the-
bench players who only come
in for garbage time.
"They're allkindofthe same
for the most part," Donovan
said.
He likes it that way,because
it meansthe team isn't relying
on a few star players. Instead,
everyone relies on everyone
else.
The game against Bridge-
water-Raynham was the Old
ColonyLeagueopener for both
clubs,but whenit wasover,the
Raiders had to waitafull week
for their next outing. With his
team starting to click, that
was Donovan's big regret.
"Iwishwehad agameTues-
day," he said.
