Ocean City Boys' Basketball Ends A Great Season

The Ocean City Red Raiders boys' basketbal team started its game at 4:05 p.m. optimistic about the game against the Kingsway Dragons.

The Dragons were the first to score three points, giving them the lead. They kept the lead until the last two second when Tommy Ballezzi shot a basket from half court.

Throughout the game Ocean City players and fans alike were excited when the team held back Kingsway in the third quarter. 

Matt Bosch scored yet again, however, just after that Dylan Canova fouled. 

With four minutes left, the ball somehow was on the ground with three players scrambling for it, which was no good for Ocean City because Kingsway took control.

"Our kids played as hard as they could. In the locker room, we told them that the goal of the game was to play for 32 whole minutes," said coach John Bruno. "I think Kingsway will go on and win for South Jersey. I am very proud of the seniors, we had a great season."

"The seniors are like our sons. They gave everything they had out there and it was all about the effort they put in," added assistant coach Andrew Bristol.

Although Ocean City received one last foul shot, it wasn't enough to keep them in the game. The final score of the game, 48-41, ended the Red Raiders' season.

As for Raider Nation, they had their last hoorah by dressing in beach gear and chanting the whole time.
