BRAINTREE, Mass. - Basketball is a team game, but on occasion, individuals can transcend the parameters of the sport and engage in a true battle.
Newton North junior Ethan Wright (31 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals) and Braintree senior Nick Timberlake (39 points, 6 rebounds) carried their respective teams in a Bay State Conference showdown, but Wright’s Tigers proved to be just a bit tougher down the stretch, as they escaped Braintree High with a 68-64 victory.
