Free throws made the difference in Serra Catholic’s Section 2-2A opener against Winchester Thurston Thursday night.
The Eagles failed to hit on any of their nine free throw attempts as they fell to the Bears, 43-39, at Serra Catholic High School.
“If we had just made half of those, that probably wins the game for us,” Serra Catholic head coach Bill Cleary said. “We missed a barrel full of layups and all those things add up into a loss.”
Winchester Thurston (4-0, 1-0) picked up the first advantage of the night, going on an 8-0 run late in the first quarter to take a 12-5 lead.
