Wilmington plays ‘loose,’ wins
Wilmington (63) Vs. Reynolds (45)
Feb 06, 2013
The Wilmington High boys basketball team has embraced its role as spoiler.

The Greyhounds dampened the playoff hopes of District 10, Region 2-AA rival Reynolds in a 63-45 road victory last night.

“We played loose. We started five underclassmen and knew Reynolds was fighting for a playoff spot,” Wilmington coach Mike Jeckavitch said. “That was something our kids were amped about.”

Wilmington (3-6 region, 6-12 overall) had 14 steals, with five coming from Josiah Bloise, who also had seven points. The Raiders (4-6, 12-8) fell to fourth in the region with the loss.

“The kids came out defensively and really played well. The effort and intensity didn’t stop,” Jeckavitch said. “We created a lot of turnovers on a lot of pressure.”

The Greyhounds received scoring from nine different players, a common trend in the team’s six wins this season. Jordan Smith paced the winners with 11 points. Rocco Fagan followed with 10 and Travis Brumbaugh chipped in nine.
