MERRIMACK – The Manchester Memorial High School girls basketball team has had enough close games this season that the Crusaders have learned what works and what doesn’t coming down the stretch.
That includes the coaching staff.
With 6.8 seconds remaining, and Memorial up three points after a pair of free throws by Ryan Moran, the Crusaders opted to foul after Merrimack put the ball in play, putting the Tomahawks at the free throw line instead of attempting a game-tying 3-pointer.
The move worked for Memorial, as Merrimack’s Makenna Desfosses made the first with 3.6 seconds left, and intentionally missed the second, but the Crusaders grabbed the rebound to close out a 42-40 win over the Tomahawks in a Division I contest.
