THE LEADERS
•
Kosta Radulovic (Podgorica, Montenegro/Perkiomen School [Pa.]) led the Bullets with 24 points on a perfect 10-for-10 shooting day from the floor. The 10 made field goals was the most without a missed shot in program history. He also had five rebounds, two steals and a blocked shot.

Up 7-6, Nicho Simes hit a 3-pointer and Ben Costello drove and scored to stretch the advantage to 21-6 with 15:49 to play in the opening half. Five straight points from Nolan Waldon and a third 3-pointer from Ty Woodland opened up a 19-8 lead with 12:56 on the clock. The lead remained at least six points until two
Jordan Stafford (Galloway, N.J./St. Joseph Hammonton) hit two free throws to make it 23-19 with 8:27 showing. The lead swelled back to as large as nine and stood at 31-23 on a Simon triple with 6:32 to play. Two
Akim Joseph (Port-au-Prince, Haiti/Notre Dame Fairfield [Conn.]) free throws 24 seconds later started a 14-0 close to the half. Four different players scored for the Bullets, including a pair of corner treys for
Lorenzo Carrara (Norwood, Mass./Xaverian Brothers) to help the hosts to a 37-31 halftime edge.
• Baskets from four different Bullets stretched the advantage to 45-31 with 17:22 on the clock. Woodland finally halted the 9-minute, 27-second scoring drought with a three-point play. The Shoremen got back to within nine twice but Gettysburg extended the lead to as large as 15 on a
Nate Williams (Morganville, N.J./St. John Vianney) turnaround in the lane with 11:53 showing. Washington once again trimmed the deficit to 55-64 but a Radulovic three-point play and Stafford second-chance basket extended the lead back to 14 with 6:48 to play. The Bullets maintained a lead between 12 and 18 points the rest of the way.
