NewCath led by as many as 13 points with 7:10 left in the game. But Ballard outscored the Thoroughbreds, 28-15 in the final seven minutes to come away with a 77-75 win. NewCath (5-2) could have won at the buzzer but Ben Weyer’s three-pointer fell short.

The Thoroughbreds had four players reach double digits. Drew McDonald led the way with 24 points and 10 rebounds. Ben Weyer, Zack Pangallo and Luke Moeves followed with 18, 15 and 14 points respectively.

Jalen Perry led the Bruins with 28 points. Teammate Anthony Eaves followed with 26.
