Harley Leads Pittsfield Boys in Win at Holyoke

HOLYOKE, Mass. -- Kymani Harley scored 17 points to lead four Pittsfield Generals in double figures as PHS defeated Holyoke, 62-41, on Thursday night.

 

Joe Cracolici scored 14, and Donte Cruz and Carter Matthews added 10 points apiece as Pittsfield improved to 2-0.

 

Pittsfield coach Brandon Mauer cited some contributions from players who did not add to the scoring total -- directly, at least.

 

“Sam Higuera handled the pressure well,controlled the tempo, and made the right pass all game while simultaneously playing tough defense on the opposing point guard making it hard for Holyoke to get into their offense,” Mauer said. “.

The Generals travel to take on Doherty Memorial on Saturday.
