While Lake Shore did not sneak on to the court in a hollowed out horse, they did bring a great deal of energy and spirit to their contest last Friday night as the Boys Varsity Basketball team won its third straight league contest defeating the Trojans of West Seneca East 62-40 in an ECIC Division II battle.

The Eagle cagers took a quick lead in the first quarter behind junior Jason Radwan’s 5 points heading into the second stanza up 15-12.  Seniors Billy Petersen and Kyle DeNisco took over from there accounting for 12 and 11 points each in the first half to send Lake Shore to the locker room leading East 34-21.  Like the fabled Greek warriors who snuck out of the wooden horse to destroy the inhabitants of Troy, the Eagles were in total control throughout the second half, closing out the third quarter with a couple of DeNisco drives to take a 51-29 lead over West Seneca’s version of Trojan warriors.  DeNisco finished with a game high 19 points, 4 assists and 4 steals.  Petersen added 17 points, on 8 of 12 shooting from the field, and grabbed 6 rebounds in the effort.  Sophomore Sean Bellomo continued his inspired play with 6 points, 8 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots.  The Eagles will be at home on Friday, February 1^st against Williamsville East.  During this game the coaches will be wearing sneakers to help bring awareness to the fight against cancer during the BCANY (Basketball Coaches Association of New York) Coaches vs Cancer week.  The JV tips off at 5:00 with the Varsity starting immediately afterward.
