NORTH SALEM, N.Y. - Entering the playoffs as the #2 seed, North Salem’s boys basketball team looked right at home under the bright lights of the Westchester County Center on March 3.
Standing across the court were the #3 ranked Keio Academy Unicorns.
Within minutes of tipoff in the semifinal matchup, it became clear that the Tigers were not intimidated by mythical creatures or the big stage.
After Keio opened on a 4-0 run, North Salem seized control and never looked back, dominating the Unicorns up and down the court and taking a 26-8 lead into the half.
The junior tandem of Jameson Juan (18 points) and Max Cotrone (17 points) powered the offense, while sophomore Lucas Virzi had 13 points and senior Justin Major chipped in 7 as the Tigers rolled to a dominant 63-30 win.
North Salem is now set to square off with Tuckahoe in the Class C title game on Saturday, March 8 at 2:30 p.m. at the Westchester County Center.
