Westminster Christian holds off Mooseheart Feb 22, 2012 12:00 AM
Few secrets remain between boys basketball teams meeting for the fourth time in a season, but Mooseheart still managed to throw something different at Northeast Athletic Conference rival Westminster Christian Wednesday. Ramblers coach Ron Ahrens opted to hound Westminster guards Will Woodhouse and Colin Brandon with a triangle-and-two defense. That strategy, combined with Mooseheart’s 39-19 rebounding dominance, kept the Ramblers within a point of the lead early in the fourth quarter. However, Westminster Christian erupted for a decisive 14-3 run to pull away for an eventual 44-35 victory in a Class 1A Hinckley-Big Rock regional semifinal.
