LYNN – Five out of 15. Those numbers, as well as any others, represent the difference in last night’s MIAA Division 1 North boys basketball first-round game.They represent the number of foul shots made against those taken in the second half by Cambridge Rindge & Latin. Considering English ultimately won the game, 67-65 – coming back from a seven-point deficit entering the fourth quarter – you’d have to say that’s a major statistic.This game was the Falcons’ to win. They led by nine points (39-30) at the half, and seven (49-42) after three. All they had to do was hold on.But third-seeded English had been there before. The Bulldogs came from far back to beat Everett in December, and then – last month in Salem – overcame another deficit to pull one out.Click here for a photo gallery from Lynn high school boys basketball tournament action Wednesday.”One thing I knew about my guys,” said coach Buzzy Barton, “and that’s that they wouldn’t quit.”The fourth quarter told the story, and it was the team’s depth that made the difference. Travonne Rogers-Berry and Archie Allen, the first two Bulldogs off the bench, ended up being huge factors, scoring 12 and 16 points, respectively, and coming up with key shots to help English get back in the game.”I think they both were fantastic tonight,” Barton said. “They (Cambridge) were keying on Ryan (Woumn). They figured, ‘Beat Woumn, and you beat English,’ but those two came through in a big way.”Rogers-Berry got things started in the fourth quarter to close the gap to five, and after Rashaad Wharton drained a three to make it 52-44, Woumn hit a bucket, and then Rogers-Berry sank two foul shots and came back with a trey. And with 5:47 to go, it was a one-point lead (52-51) and the highly partisan fans at the Cavanagh Field House were going crazy.Wharton stemmed the tide with a bucket, but Charlie Rucker was back with a layup with 4:48 to go to close the gap to one again, and after a big stop down the other end, Allen connected. And for the first time since early in the first quarter, English had the lead.”A lot of it was a case of shots not going in the second and third quarter finally going in,” Barton said.English never trailed again. Jeremy Subervi sunk a three-pointer to up the lead to four points, and after Isaiah Renwick Banks hit a rare freebie for Cambridge, Allen was back with 3:00 to go with a basket to increase the lead to five (60-55).Two more free throws by Allen made it a seven-point game, and the Bulldogs managed to hang on down the stretch to win. They’ll play Lowell Saturday (7) at home in the quarterfinals.English sprinted out to a 7-0 lead before Cambridge scored a basket, but once the Falcons found the hoop, they quickly erased that lead and took a 19-15 edge after eight minutes – an advantage they increased to nine points (39-30) by the break.”They were just too quick for our press,” Barton said. “They just kept going by us.”So in the third quarter, we cut the court in half, and pulled back,” he said. “We had to meet them at halfcourt and slow them down.”Although it didn’t seem that way for a while, the strategy worked. English got two points back after three quarters, but, as Barton acknowledged, “there was kind of a feeling of gloom and doom on the bench.”The half-court strategy worked to perfection in the fourth quarter, though. Cambridge’s entire offense involved going to the hoop (with very rare exceptions), so English collapsed down low. The Bulldogs kept sending Cambridge to the line ? and Cambridge kept missing.On the other hand, English found its rhythm. And the Falcons may have slowed Woumn down at times, but they didn’t stop him. He wound up with 16 points as well.”All I want to know,” said Barton, “is how does the third seed end up with a team like that in the first round? That’s just the luck of the draw.”Cambridge finishes its season with a 12-7 record. English moves to 21-2.
