Harvey Remains Winless in Boys Hoops
Harvey’s boys varsity basketball team dropped to 0- 5 when Chase Collegiate of Waterbury, Conn. played host to the Cavaliers and defeated them 55-27. Chase controlled the game on both sides of the court and was a tough match for Harvey physically.
Harvey coach Dominic Narcisco said his team continues to work hard, and refuses to give up but needs “to take care of the ball, and be strong with the ball.”
Senior forward Jesse Zubren of Pound Ridge led Harvey with 10 points. He was also strong under the boards with nine rebounds.
Matt McClain led Chase with 14 points. The coaches selected McClain and teammate Billy Robinson as game MVPs for Chase. The MVPs for Harvey were Zubren and junior forward Jake Cohn of Pound Ridge, who chipped in with eight points.
