It was Cecil County theater on a Friday night, only it was high school
basketball in Perryville. The North East Indians has just missed another free
throw in the final frame, the Perryville Panthers were up by four points, the
clock was under ten seconds and the win was sealed. Then Perryville was slapped
with a technical foul, giving the Indians two free throws and the possession.
The good fortune was all for naught. North East only sank one free throw
and, shortly after the inbound pass, Indian Kendall Danglade was forced to step
out of bounds. North East never had the chance to put up a game-tying
three-point attempt.
The North East squad missed three free throws in the final period, and
that would be the difference in their 63-60 loss to Perryville.
The Indians jumped out to an early lead with two three-pointers the
first period and extended their lead to eight points. It seemed as if having
leading scorer Gabe Sherrod on the bench in street clothes might be too much to
overcome for Perryville.
Panther Brian Matthews led all scorers with 17 points. His seven buckets
and three free throws in Sherrod’s absence pushed the Perryville to close the
gap for good with four minutes left in the game.
Kendall Danglade and Maurice Dickey each dropped 16 points to lead the
visiting North East Indians.
