WATERTOWN -n If you turn the ball over 19 times in a half n and 14 times in an eight-minute quarter n you?re not going to win a basketball game even if you?re the Celtics and you?re playing some junior college team from East Nowhere.But that?s what Lynn Tech did last night ? and the result was fairly predicable. Watertown, which is definitely not a JUCO team in comparison to the Tigers, ran them into the ground. Final score: 78-42. The Tigers are gone from the MIAA Division 3 North tournament while the Raiders go on to play either Greater Lawrence or Wayland next week.?There wasn?t anything we could do,” said Tech coach Marvin Avery. “Everything they threw up went in. They just shot the lights out. And we turned the ball over too many times.”Watertown opened the game with a press, and Tech n which finishes at 15-7 – just couldn?t solve it. Every trip up the floor was a chore for the Tigers, especially in the first quarter. At one point, the Tigers made six straight trips up the floor ? and turned it over all six times.Watertown scored the first eight points of the game, with sophomore Marco Coppola (15 points) deadly from beyond the arc.And he had plenty of help in the first half. Kyle Stockmal and Ricky Morrissey were also piping hot in the first 16 minutes, and each finished with 17. A fourth Raider, Benyam Kerman, also got into double figures with 11.Still, for all the Tigers? mistakes, they did a creditable job climbing back to within six (17-11) to begin the second quarter, thanks to seven points by Victor Smith (who finished with 14).But if there was any though of Tech climbing back into this one n the way it did in the state vocational tournament final against Greater New Bedford n Watertown, the No. 2 seed (18-4) put the kibosh on that. The Raiders score 28 points to Tech?s three, making this game academic well before halftime.Only a Josh Cheever (8 points) basket kept the Raiders from blanking the Tigers until the final seconds, when Wardell Barber hit one of two free throws. After Cheever scored his basket (to make it 24-11) Watertown reeled off 18 straight points before Barber interrupted the siege.?There isn?t much you can tell them after that,” said Avery. “We just said to go out and try to win the next quarter. Don?t even worry about winning the game.”Tech finally established some sort of rhythm in the third quarter, and took better care of the ball, but the problem, by then, was that Watertown was relentless. The Raiders added 11 more points to the lead before calling off the dogs in the final eight minutes.?They?re a very experienced team, with a lot of seniors, and we?re young,” Avery said. “I feel bad for my seniors. But we?ll be back next year.”
