BASKETBALL | FROM PAGE 14 veteran coach was pleased by the way they transitioned from defense to off ense with consistent ball movement. “To build on this victory, we’ll focus on tightening up the overall game, while also continuing to capitalize on our strengths,” added Boyce. The Tide began last week with a 61-50 loss to nonleague Newton South on Jan. 7. Vasquez was the leading scorer in this game with 11 points. Pinto was next in line with nine points. Richardson Lamerique was close behind with eight. Luna Moreles accounted for six. “As a team, we executed mistake-free basketball throughout the first half,” said Boyce. “But we were unable to maintain that same energy in the second half. We had too many missed assignments, which ultimately hindered our ability to secure the victory.” The Everett boys then dropped a 71-62 decision to host East Boston, Boyce’s alma mater, two nights later. Luna Moreles led the way on offense with 17 points. Vasquez accounted for nine. Pinto had eight. Jayden Alsaindor and Lamerique each netted seven points. Chunn tallied six points. “We faced too many challenges in this game with so many excessive (violations) that were called on us,” Boyce said. “We were called for four three-second violations and a technical foul that was pinned on us after making a critical three-pointer, which at the time put us ahead by seven. “Our ability to function as a cohesive unit diminished quite a bit throughout the course of the game with many of our players fouling out,” added Boyce. “We played as individuals, which distracted from our play in a challenging road environment. I hope that this experience will serve as a stepping stone toward growing up as a team. Together, we can learn, evolve and emerge stronger from this experience.” The Tide took that fi rst step on Saturday night by beating aforementioned Brockton by 10 points. They have since gone up against Malden (Jan. 14) and Medford (Jan. 16) at home after press deadline, before taking on non-league St. Mary’s of Lynn at Emmanuel College in Boston on Sunday afternoon, starting at 1:30 p.m. They will then be at Lynn English (Jan. 21, 7 p.m.) and Chelsea (Jan. 23, 6:30 p.m.) to close out next week.
