Tough Loss for the Huskies
Winchendon came out firing on all cylinders, storming to a 20–1 run to open the game behind suffocating defense and a red-hot offensive performance. The Huskies struggled to find their rhythm throughout the first half. Shots that normally fall wouldn't drop; passes were just a step off, and Winchendon’s defensive intensity disrupted any attempt to establish a flow. By halftime, the early deficit had created a steep uphill climb.
The second half told a different story. The Huskies emerged with renewed toughness, playing more physically and moving the ball with purpose. Crisper passing and stronger finishes at the rim helped chip away at the deficit. The defensive effort improved as well, with better communication and more controlled possessions slowing Winchendon’s momentum.
Conor Key provided a much-needed spark off the bench, bringing energy and aggressiveness that helped ignite the second-half push. His hustle plays and timely contributions lifted the team’s intensity when they needed it most. Colin Flanders led the charge offensively, pouring in 27 points. He attacked the basket with confidence and knocked down key shots to keep the Huskies in it.
Despite the strong second-half response, the early 20–1 run proved too much to overcome. The Huskies showed resilience and growth after halftime, but Winchendon’s explosive start set the tone in a game where the early gap was the difference.
