Read More"Archmere used a strong defensive game and a series of high-percentage shots to take control of Concord in what resulted in a 43-33 win on Dec. 12 at Moglia Fieldhouse. The Auks needed a fourth-quarter comeback to defeat Tower Hill in their season opener a few days prior, but the script was different this time. Archmere kept pounding the ball inside against the taller Raiders, picking up offensive rebounds when they did miss shots, and scoring most of their points inside the paint."
