Here are results from Friday’s consolation games at the Chick-Fil-A Holiday Basketball Tournament.
CJ Barrett hit a 3-pointer in the final minute Friday to give the Nashua High School North boys basketball team the lead for good, and the Titans held on for a 57-54 win over Souhegan in the third-place game at the Chick-Fil-A Holiday Basketball Tournament at Nashua South.
Moments before Barrett’s 3, a basket by Souhegan’s Andersen Geffrard had give the Sabers a 54-53 lead, one of 11 lead changes and three ties in a back-and-forth final quarter. Geffrard had a chance to tie in the final seconds, but his 3 was off the mark and North held on for the win.
Souhegan had a 14-11 lead early in the second quarter, but North went on an 11-2 run, going up 22-16 on a 3-pointer by Casey Lane. The Sabers were able to cut the lead to five at halftime and trailed 35-30 with 1:30 left in the third quarter. But a three-point play by Matt McCoole and a basket in the final seconds by Max Leonard tied the game going into the fourth.
