#32 Acton-Boxboro, 62 vs. #33 King Philip, 57 – Final – The Warriors tried to rally in the fourth quarter, outscoring the Colonials 19-11 over the final eight minutes, but it wasn’t enough to complete the comeback in a tough road playoff opener. Emily Sawyer scored a team-high 29 points in the loss, including 13 points in the fourth, as KP tried to rally. A-B jumped out to a six-point lead in the first and the second quarter was even, as A-B went into the locker room ahead 29-23. Both teams caught fire offensively in the third quarter, combining for 37 points, but it was the home team that extended its lead to double digits heading to the fourth. Leah Santoro hit a pair of threes (her only points of the night) and Sawyer and Jordan Bennett each scored five in the third for the Warriors. Those were also Bennett’s only points of the game. In the fourth quarter, KP continued to get the ball into the paint. Sawyer had six made baskets in the quarter and had 13 of the team’s 19. Jackie Bonner knocked down her second three of the game, scoring four of her seven points in the fourth.
