Medfield Boys' Basketball Falls to Dedham, 53-48 in Foxboro Winter Classic

Warriors fourth quarter rally falls short as Dedham holds on to win Foxboro Winter Classic Championship.

FOXBOROUGH – It was too little, too late for the Medfield High School boys' basketball team Tuesday evening as the Warriors fell 53-48 to Dedham in the Foxboro Winter Classic Championship game.  Medfield came out sluggish for most of the first half and trailed 26-19 at halftime and 41-32 after three before coming to life in the fourth quarter.  "We were in a funk all night, it seemed like offensively we struggled to put the ball in the basket but we put ourselves in a chance to win the game in the fourth quarter and that's all you can ask for," said Medfield High coach Herb Grace.  The Warriors stepped up their defense, rebounding and scoring in the final eight minutes but could never catch Dedham.

The victory, the 9th in the last 11 games for the Lancers, allowed them to complete the league campaign in third place.

Shea, Conlon The Difference In Medfield's 71-60 Win Over Millis

Warriors boys' basketball pulls away from Mohawks with fourth quarter run Friday.

MILLIS - There was one notable difference between the Medfield and Millis High School boys' basketball teams Friday night: size.  The Warriors (5-3) had forwards Drew Shea and Tommy Conlon towering over Mohawk defenders all night, scoring 42 of the team's 71 points enroute to a 71-60 victory over Millis (2-6). "He [Shea] and Tom Conlon were really the difference tonight for us," said Medfield High School head coach Herb Grace. "Rebounding the ball and finishing underneath."
