PALMER, Mass. – Frank Field scored 33 points, and the Hoosac Valley boys basketball team Thursday pulled away in the third quarter to earn a 79-56 win over Palmer.

 

Field scored 20 points in the third quarter, when the Hurricanes outscored the Panthers, 29-16, to take a 68-41 lead.

Field also grabbed 15 rebounds, and Qwanell Bradley just missed a double-double with nine points and 12 boards.

 

Michael Szabo scored 13, and Joey McGovern had 11 in the win.

 

Andrew Menard scored 28 to lead Palmer.
