The Dragons' Patrick Ryan played smothering defense on Brunswick’s returning All-FAA shooter Devin Mehra, holding him to only two points. Comey also was strong vs. Ivy League prospect, 6-foot-9 Billy Murphy

Brunswick only had 13 points at the half, but rallied from a 14-pomt halftime deficit to take a brief 42-41 lead. That comeback seemed to zap them, however, as GFA finished with a 13-3 spurt.

Brunswick went with a couple of zone defense schemes early, but Waters, Eggers and Chritian Papic shot the hosts out of it.

That forced Brunswick into playing man-to-man, which allowed Obi to have success against Brunswick’s other 6-foot-9 player, Bradley Seaton

“We had a bad loss on Thursday night, got outplayed and outcoached by Rye Country Day on Thursday," GFA coach Doug Scott said. "This was a nice reversal."

“They made a terrific second half run at us. I was pleased with the way that we stood right back up, and retook control of the game.”
