🏀Game of the Night
The Barrington girls basketball team may have cracked the code on how to become impossible to beat.
Don’t miss.
It felt like the Eagles were never going to on Tuesday night. Barrington hit nine 3-pointers in the first half, then took over the second half with a swarming defense in a 51-43 road win over Portsmouth.
The 3-point shootout started in the first quarter, as Ella Martin hit two of her team’s five 3-pointers that had the Eagles up 17-12 despite the Patriots making two from deep in the quarter.
Barrington kept shooting and continued making in the second quarter. Faith Van Ness got in the act then, knocking down two from deep with Martin hitting her third 3-pointer of the game and Genesis Castro hammering home her second that helped build a 34-29 lead at halftime.
The Eagles’ defense took over the show from there. Barrington surrendered just eight points in the third quarter and then closed by holding Portsmouth to six. While the Eagles didn’t light the scoreboard on fire, they did enough to grow the lead and get on the bus with a win.
Castro finished the night with 18 points, which including four 3-pointers. Martin hit three from deep and scored 13 points and Van Ness also hit three 3-pointers and finished with 11 points. Kiera Martin had Barrington’s other 3-pointer in the first quarter.
Annie Hurd did what she could for Portsmouth, scoring 10 of her team-high 16 points in the second quarter. Violet Silva came up with 11 for the Patriots and Gyselle Mairs was also in double figures with 10 points.
🏀GIRLS BASKETBALL – Division I
Moses Brown 51, Classical 37
Marielle Nassiff provided some offensive pop in the third quarter that gave the Quakers the separation they needed to close out the Purple in their 51-37 win.
The first quarter was tough defensive basketball, as Moses Brown led 9-4, then took a 24-15 lead into halftime thanks to nine points from Nassiff and six from Lauren Bousquet in the second quarter.
With Classical still hanging around, the Quakers revved up the defensive measures. They limited the Purple to just five points in the third quarter and Nassiff got herself some buckets, scoring eight points in the stretch to build a 42-20 lead heading to the fourth quarter.
Nassiff finished as Moses Brown’s top scorer with 23 points. Bousquet was right behind her with 21 points and Adelaide Crosby and Madison Wilson accounted for the remaining seven points.
Jaydell Harris was the top scorer for Classical, putting up 12 points. Daniella Jimenez had seven in the loss.
Cranston West 74, South Kingstown 36
The Falcons’ offense was feeling good on Tuesday night.

Cranston West finished with 13 3-pointers in the game with Talya Walker making five from distance in her 19-point night. Kyla Buco was right behind her with four 3-pointers and 18 points and both hit from deep in the opening quarter.
Saniyya Chase scored a dozen points and Madeleine Marques added 11 in the victory. It was the Falcons’ best offensive game of the season by a wide margin as the Falcons hadn’t broken 60 points yet this season. Might Tuesday’s win spark a run for Cranston West?
Makenzie Ribeiro finished as the top scorer for South Kingstown with seven points.
Chariho 53, St. Raphael 49
It was close all night, but the Chargers pulled out a nailbiter and took down the Saints, 53-49.

Menuhki Harris managed a dozen points and had 10 fouls shots in the game as the junior was tough to defend. The Chargers added six points from the line in their decisive 14-point fourth quarter that helped keep them ahead.

St. Raphael was paced by 16 points from Carolyn Abreu. The Saints host West Warwick on Thursday.
North Kingstown 40, La Salle 19
The Skippers threw their weight around early and wasted little time in dispatching the Rams in their 40-19 win.

🏀GIRLS BASKETBALL – Division II
Rogers 51, Narragansett 35
The Vikings believe in the old adage that you only get one chance to make a first impression. So opening the game with a 17-point first quarter, and then adding 18 in the second was pretty indicative of how this contest would play out.
Rogers started hot and stayed that way. They were paced by the dynamic duo of Zaida Aponte – 21 points, including four threes – and Tameka Robertson – who combined to score 14 first half points. The result was a 35-17 lead by the break and an easier second half.
For the Mariners, Taylor Sullivan and Delaney Bonneau each scored 11 points, with Sullivan making a pair of 3-pointers and Bonneau going 6-for-6 at the foul line.
Rogers moves to 4-2 and will have a stiff test coming later this week when it faces first-place Coventry (8-1).

The Townies rebounded in a big way Tuesday night, scoring a season-high in points in their 57-43 win over the Wizards.
Coming off a loss to Rogers last week, Zarae Hall made sure another wasn’t in the cards against their D-I opponent. Hall got East Providence started hot with 14 points in the first half and finished off the Wizards with 24 in the game. The junior made 10 shots from the field, including a trio of 3-pointers to push EP to its fifth win of the season.
Trinity Provencher added a dozen points, including eight in the fourth quarter to close out the hosts. Audrey Bernard supplied another dozen points as EP’s offense was firing on all cylinders. East Providence travels to Tiverton on Friday.

That was followed by a 3:23-second pin from Roman Ridolfi at 190 that put AIW needing a decision in the last two bouts to secure the victory.
Beaufort’s match didn’t start great, but he took control late in the first period and picked up his pin in the second as the AIW bench exploded in celebration.
