GLOVERSVILLE — The Gloversville boys’ basketball team had a stellar start to their season on Tuesday, with everything falling into place just as they had planned.
The Huskies showcased an impressive defense and a balanced scoring attack, kicking off their season with a resounding 62-29 victory over Scotia-Glenville in the Foothills Council opener.
While the Huskies’ 27-point explosion in the second quarter helped them establish a dominant lead, it was their defense that truly shone. They held the Tartans to a mere two points in the second quarter, and followed it up by allowing only three points in the third quarter.
Kingston Daley led the charge for Gloversville with a game-high 18 points, while Ezequiel Santiago chipped in with 14 points and four steals. Cal Porter added 13 points, six assists and three steals, and Jordan Collar contributed five points, five assists and three steals. Rowan Halloran rounded out the scoring with four points and nine rebounds.
Scotia-Glenville’s scoring was led by Austin Stark with eight points and four rebounds. Kellen Kristel and Max Peters each contributed six points, while Dylan Cruz collected seven rebounds.
Looking ahead, Gloversville is set to host South Glens Falls on Friday at 7 p.m., while Scotia-Glenville will have its home opener on Friday at 7 p.m. against Glens Falls.
