Flyers Defeat Worcester Burncoat 63-53

The Framingham High boys basketball team defeated Worcester Burncoat 63-53, in a non-league game on Thursday.

The game was tied 41-41 after three quarters, before we pulled away in the fourth quarter, said head coach Ben Torbert.

Junior captain Jamie Druker played his best game as a Flyer, said Torbert.

Druker scored 24 points, with 6 rebounds, and had 3 assists in the victory.

Jack DiConza had 13 points and Mike Bradley 11 points in the win.

Kevin Lora played excellent second half defense against Burncoat’s leading scorer Unique Jackson, who averages 19 points a game, but Kevin helped hold him to 12 points, said Torbert.

“Though we struggled to get comfortable against the zone in the first half, we were eventually able to get more aggressive and start attacking the rim in the second half. Our aggression helped get us into the bonus and we were able to take advantage by going 22/28 from the line,” said Torbert.

The Flyers are now 3-2 on the season.

Next up is a game against Lincoln-Sudbury Saturday at 2 p.m. in Sudbury.
