Pulaski 70, APW 52
Gotta love it.
It's basketball season. Bring out your inner Dickie V, your airballs, even your overused 'you can't do that' chants. At least that means we're watching people shoot an inflated red-orange ball at a hoop 10 feet (hopefully) above the floor. Hopefully, you also bring out your A game.
That's what Pulaski did. It took a while for the home team to get it going, but once they did, it was game over. A couple quick buckets put them up 7-2 just over a minute into the game, but the Rebels settled in and got back into it behind 6 1st quarter points from Jarid Paninski. They held Pulaski scoreless over their last 5 possessions of the quarter and tied it up at 13 after 1. This was the time that Caleb Sedore took over. The 6'9"ish junior is receiving some lower-level to mid-major Division I interest, and that's no bull. Bucknell was in the house. With the exception of 1 James Carnes bucket early in the 2nd quarter, Sedore scored every Pulaski point over a period of 9:06 in the 1st half. APW was hanging around, though, and they even took the lead twice. Tom Canfield had 7 of his 9 points in the 2nd for the Rebels, including the floater that gave APW its last lead of the night. Cody Mosher tied it up at 25 with a free throw 16 seconds later, and then proceeded to hit a three to take the lead. With another Canfield 3 tying it up at 28 with :14.1 left in the half, you'd assume it was one shot time. No fouls... yeah, fouls. Sedore got to the line with :02.7 left, knocking both down. The inbounds pass was then stolen and Mosher hit Kody Koehler with the bucket to end the 1st half, giving Pulaski a 32-28 lead. Sedore ended up with 11 2nd quarter points for Pulaski, keeping them on top.
The 3rd quarter was a different game. Sedore, Carnes, and Nick Hollis scored quickly, giving Pulaski its first double-digit lead at 38-28 with 6:14 left in the 3rd. All-in-all, Pulaski went on a 10-0 run spanning 1:49 in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. Another Sedore bucket preserved the lead and gave him 20. The teams traded buckets in the most part throughout the 3rd after that, with Pulaski extending the lead to 14 on a Carnes bucket. With a Sage Bartlett bucket dropping the deficit to 11 in the 1st play of the 4th quarter, it looked like APW might somewhat hang around... nope. Over the next 1:51, the Blue Devils went on a 9-0 run, putting it basically all out of reach at 58-39 with 5:48 left. The largest lead was 21 at 64-43 after one of Joe Falciatano's 4 4th quarter threes. Pulaski coasted late to their 70-52 W.
Caleb Sedore finished with 22 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 blocks. 16 came in the 1st half - 11 in the 2nd quarter. Cody Mosher added 13 for the Blue Devils. Joe Falciatano had 12, and Nick Hollis had 10. All of Falciatano & Hollis' points came in the 2nd half. James Carnes had 6 points and 6 assists in the backcourt for the winners. APW was balanced in the loss, with Jarid Paninski scoring 12 to lead the way. 10 of his came early. He only scored once after the 3:25 mark of the 2nd quarter. Tom Canfield added 9, with 7 of those coming in the 2nd quarter.
Shoutout to Pulaski for roping me in. I think I'll be back!
