The well-tuned Dennis-Yarmouth boys basketball team (15-4) avenged an early season overtime loss to Barnstable this afternoon, devouring the visiting Red Raiders, 82-64. It was Barnstable's second straight loss and second straight to an ACL foe.
Last time, sophomore point guard LK Metz fouled out and the Red Raiders pounced on the chance. In late January, Barnstable defeated the visiting Dennis-Yarmouth Dolphins in overtime after trailing for three quarters of play. This afternoon, Metz turned out likely his best all-around performance of the season and was joined by fellow Dolphin starters Jamarie Hall, Jim Tereau and Spencer Tyler in a dominating performance on both ends of the court and in particular, beneath the glass. Interestingly, it was this time, with Barnstable down by 12 points, that high scorer Jason Eddy fouled out with just 2:37 remaining. Eddy led both teams with 29 points on the night. The D-Y performance and the forced absence of Eddy late in the 4th quarter may …

Thanks in large part to the offensive prowess of freshman Molly Bent, the Red Raider girls basketball team is off and running to a 5-1 mark as well as a state-ranking.
It's not every day that someone sets an all-time record at Barnstable High School, in any sport. Particularly when the school was established in 1873 and its girls varsity basketball program began in 1928. Even more rare is when a sophomore sets a new all-time mark. But just five days before Christmas, that's precisely what the gifted third-year varsity guard Molly Bent did when she bucketed 41 of her team's 52 points against archrival New Bedford in a 52-46 victory at home. Bent's 41 points on December 20, 2012 eclipsed the previous all-time individual mark of 38 points scored in a single game, set on January 31, 1995 against Taunton by BHS Hall of Famer and former Division 1 Collegiate player Tania McIntyre (BHS Class of 1995 - North …

On the heels of a tough road loss to Taunton last Saturday, the Barnstable High School boys basketball team (3-1) came roaring back against Sandwich in the fourth quarter to pull out the team's third victory of the season.
Never underestimate your opponent. It seemed that the Barnstable High Red Raider boys hoop squad may have done just a bit of that heading into last night's season home opener versus the Sandwich High Blue Knights (2-3), but thanks to a stellar fourth quarter by senior Manny Perry and some opportune late buckets from senior Jason Eddy, the Red & White pulled out a win, 59-39. But until the fourth quarter, it looked like the visiting Sandwich five had the upper hand. The Blue Knights led their hosts 11-8 after a meagre first quarter and held a 25-23 lead at the half. Barnstable pulled out a 38-37 edge after three frames, but in the fourth quarter the Red Raiders turned things up a notch as Perry scored eight of his 10 points late and those …

Some things just weren't meant to be and last night proved that phrase to be true as the high-scoring Catholic Memorial Knights devoured the visiting Barnstable High School boys basketball team, 81-63, in the first round of the Division 1 South Sectionals
Never underestimate the adrenaline produced by an energetic home crowd. Add 20 turnovers to the mix and a debilitating first five minutes of the third quarter, and the Old Colony League champion Red Raiders soon found themselves on the back end of a rout as the host Catholic Memorial Knights ran away with last night's MIAA Division 1 South Sectional first-round affair, 81-63. Outrebounded by the likes of 6'8" junior center Gerard Adams and senior captain Dan Powers, the Red Raiders nevertheless did not lack for hustle; but intermittent spurts of the team chemistry seen earlier in the season, combined with a 43.64% shooting percentage from the field, proved ill-fated for the guests and uplifting to a host accustomed to performing in a …

After repeating as Old Colony League Champions and finishing at 16-4, the Barnstable High School boys basketball team has its work cut out when it enters the Division 1 South Sectionals this week.
Let the March Madness begin. Not since 1981 have the Red Raiders repeated as league champions, but with today's Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association release of the sectional brackets, the road to the TD Boston Garden will be a long one. Coached by Red Raider Hall of Famer Gerry McDowell (108-73), this winter's 16-4 Red & White squad has been seeded ninth in the Division 1 South Sectional bracket. In all likelihood, Barnstable will not get a home-court advantage as it is slated to face perennial powerhouse Catholic Memorial (16-3) on Thursday, March 1 at 7:00 pm. The site has yet to be determined. The seedings are as follows: 1. Brockton; 2. Madison Park; 3. Weymouth; 4. North Quincy; 5. Newton North; 6. Franklin; 7. Taunton…

The Barnstable High School girls rolled over Bridgewater-Raynham Friday night to capture the team's first OCL championship since 2008, while BHS junior wrestling co-captain Will Henson brought home the program's first-ever individual state championship.
There is glory in the air. Barnstable High School junior wrestling co-captain Will Henson went unbeaten at 2-0 in the MIAA Division 1 State Individual Tournament yesterday, defeating Weymouth's Sean Murphy, 15-0, to bring home the school's first-ever individual state championship. Henson's victory over Murphy capped a 4-0 weekend for the 170-lb., newly crowned state champion, and qualified him to make a deeper run at the MIAA All-State Tournament in Salem, MA on Feb. 24. Last year, Henson finished in 4th place in the "states," in the 160-lb. class, but last weekend he joined a rarified crowd as just the sixth Red Raider to win a Division 1 South Sectional championship. He was also awarded the South's Most Outstanding Wrestler medal. …

In spite of shooting 32.65% from the floor, the host Barnstable Red Raiders went to 12-3 on the season last night with a 67-63 win over B.M.C. Durfee High School in Hyannis.
They say a good basketball team needs an even better bench when hitting the final stretch of the regular season. With a postseason already firmly clinched, and coming off a tough OCL road loss last week to Taunton, the Barnstable Red Raiders regrouped last night in Hyannis and rode the hot hand of Justin Alvaran's 15 points off the bench to a 67-63 victory over the Durfee Hilltoppers last night in Hyannis. Alvaran scored 9 of his 15 points in the second half and his effort was bolstered by a remarkable 12-point performance from Dylan Morris who went 6-9 from the floor in his hottest game of the season. Jason Eddy was no slouch, either, dumping in 10 of his 16-point total in the second half and adding six rebounds. Nick Peabody had a …

The Red Raiders fell behind quickly in this pre-holiday thriller, but thanks to a 16-point performance by junior Jason Eddy, Barnstable held on to defeat its rival Falmouth, 46-45 before an energized crowd.
More than often in most hectic situations, cooler heads prevail. And so it was for the unbeaten Barnstable High School boys basketball team (3-0) last night at Falmouth High School, as the Red Raiders came from behind to take the lead and hold onto it late in the fourth quarter in a 46-45 thriller. A baseline jumper by Falmouth's Kyle Kasprzyk and an attempted bank shot by Deven Soares in the game's final seconds could have captured a buzzer-beating win for the host Clippers, but both shots missed the mark and Barnstable held on to win. BHS junior Jason Eddy scored a career-high 16 points on the night, six points of which came in a frenzied late fourth quarter, thanks to assists from Jake Kipnes and Nick Peabody. The victory also marked …

Barnstable High School's Molly Bent broke her own record last night on the road vs. Nauset when she scored 42 points in the Red Raiders' 64-49 victory. Bent set a new school record for most individual points scored by a female basketball player at BHS on Jan. 4, 2013 when she scored 41 of her team's 52 points in a win over New Bedford at home. Barnstable is now 7-1 on the season. more ›
