by TOM AMODIE
The Chestnut Hill Youth Sports Club Friday Night basketball league began
playing for the ’06 season with an abbreviated schedule of games.
This year the league has eight teams down from 10 a year ago.
In the opener of the tripleheader the Spurs nipped the Celtics 40-39
as Ben Grant powered in 18 points.
The Celtics led 12-6 after the first quarter as Sam Mercuris drained
a three and Justin Berg added five points.
The Spurs cut into their deficit in the second frame as Grant scored
six points and Quay Childs tallied four to trail by 23-20 at the break.
The Celtics held a two point lead heading into the final period but in
that final frame Grant hit a pair of field goals while Childs picked up
four points and Kyle Venson and Bryant Hawthorne each added a field goal.
Mike Gibbs buried a three for the Celtics but they dropped their opener
by a point.
Gibbs paced the Celtics with 11 points.
In the second game, Noz Wynn was too much for the Suns as the Lakers
prevailed 46-34. The loss spoiled a 23 point game for the Suns’
Josh Stevens.
The Lakers led 20-17 at the half but Wynn collected 10 points alone in
the third quarter as they opened up a 34-23 cushion and coasted from there.
Nick Myrick counted 10 for the winners.

Sixers beat the Hawks 46-33 despite a 21 point game by the Hawks’
Pete Adubato.
