AMENIA, N.Y. — The boys of Housatonic Valley Regional High School’s basketball teams visited Webutuck High School in Amenia, New York, Tuesday, Dec. 10, for a pre-season practice scrimmage.
The scrimmage was a typical series of 10 minute face-offs alternating between varsity and junior varsity squads.
Housy was the more successful squad in the scrimmage, but Webutuck didn’t make the wins easy for the visiting team. Housy’s boys won all but one of the scrimmages, but none with a difference of more than five points.
In the third scrimmage of the night — the second varsity matchup — Webutuck and Housy matched each other point for point. For most of the scrimmage Housy was up by a basket or two, but at the five minute mark Webutuck turned the game around on a fast break to close Housy’s lead.
For the next two or three minutes, Housy tried to rebuild their lead only to be matched by Webutuck. The scrimmage came down to an 11-11 tie in the final thirty seconds. Then, with a rebound and another fast break, Webutuck scored the winning basket with just fifteen seconds on the clock, not enough time for Housy to rebut.
That scrimmage was Webutuck’s only win of the night, but the team demonstrated perseverance throughout.
