With a second chance, battle-tested Bridgewater-Raynham boys' basketball takes Blue Bombardiers Classic in overtime
'Because we're a pressing team, we practice that type of scenario every day,' said B-R coach Doug Alves. 'Often the guys get it done in those practice segments. And Cason Faulk did it again. He's an animal.'
Hayden Crowley paced No. 5 Attleboro (18-4) with 26 points, including eight 3-pointers, most of which came off feeds from senior captain Connor Houle (10 points, 7 assists). When Ladainian Rodrigues (13 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists) found Crowley for a 4-point play to put Attleboro up, 64-56, with 1:20 remaining, it looked like the hosts would hang on. Yet the Trojans found a way to out-score the Bombardiers, 20-7, the rest of the way.

Faulk finished with 21 points and seven offensive rebounds, and was named Tournament MVP. His brother, Deshawn Faulk, and senior captain Noah Perry-Lewis added 14 points apiece.
After dropping both games in Mansfield's Roundball Classic over December break, the Trojans have improved markedly over the past two months.
'We took some losses early,' said Alves, 'But we play a tough schedule so we'll be battle tested, and winning five of our next six on the road, we showed that we can play against anybody.
