THE REST OF THE STORY

Ray Zamloot scored 12 of Gettysburg's first 14 points, hitting his first five attempts from the floor to help the Bullets build a 14-9 lead in the game's opening seven minutes. Isaiah Lee and
Alex Grospe (South River, N.J./South River) traded 3-pointer before
Lorenzo Carrara (Norwood, Mass./Xaverian Brothers) answered a Khaydar Gilmetdinov layup with Gettysburg's fourth triple of the game for a 20-14 lead with 9:33 showing. Shenandoah closed to within 20-18 but four straight points from
Reece Craft (Downingtown, Pa./Devon Prep) pushed the lead back out to six with 7:20 on the clock. A minute later, the Hornets were back within two but five straight points from
Caleb Gillus (Falls Church, Va./Sidwell Friends School [D.C.]) sparked an 8-2 burst to take a 32-24 lead into the break.
• Four points each from Zamloot and Gillus keyed a 10-2 start to the second half, giving the Bullets a 42-26 lead with just over three minutes elapsed. Eight straight points from Shenandoah over the next 2:33 closed the margin to 42-34 but another 7-2 Gettysburg stretch pushed the advantage back out to 49-36 with 11:56 on the clock. After an Elijah Wright layup,
Josh Herr (Gettysburg, Pa./Gettysburg Area) snapped a 4-minute, 29-second drought. That was the only field goal for the Bullets in more than eight minutes but the Hornets were only able to close the margin to 52-44. A Zamloot pull-up with 3:46 showing returned the lead to 10. Gettysburg went 6-for-8 from the line in the final minute to keep Shenandoah at arm's length and secure the win.
