SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Joey McGovern scored 27 points Friday to lead the Hoosac Valley boys basketball team to a 66-58 win over South Hadley.

 

Frank Field scored 21. 

 

McGovern hit a pair of 3-pointers in a 22-11 third quarter for the Hurricanes that gave them a 50-41 lead. In the fourth quarter, he went 7-for-8 at the foul line to help Hoosac Valley preserve its lead.

 

Hoosac Valley coach Bill Robinson said that the Tigers fed off the energy of their Senior Night crowd.

 

“The crowd was electric as South Hadley came back from a 12-point deficit, cutting the lead to four, but it got no closer,” Robinson said.

 

Qwanell Bradley scored eight points in the win.

 

Hoosac Valley (9-6) Saturday afternoon looks to secure its spot in the state tournament when it visits Renaissance.
