Inside game ma- terializes in win in league opener By David Curran dcurran@barnstablepatriot.com 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.
