TROY

Adams 43, Troy 33  The Rochester Adams Freshmen opened their 2007-2008 season with a 43-33 win over Troy on December 4rth.  Admittedly Adams did not look as sharp as they have in some of the pre-season scrimmages and really struggled from the free throw line completing only 11/25 attempts.  They made their free throws when they counted the most however…down the stretch to seal the win.  After being behind by 1 point to end the 1rst quarter, Adams went on a 16-0 run and finished the half up 25-13.  The freshmen provided balanced scoring, tremendous energy and very good rebounding in the 1rst half.  Troy pulled to within 4 points early in the 4rth quarter before Adams pulled away and sealed the victory with a couple of Nick Zekai free throws with 13 seconds in the game.

Nick led the Highlander attack with 10 points, Ben Hollet added 9 and Matt Nestor 8.  Spencer Cairo led in rebounds with 7 coupled with 3 points, Brad Nestor added 6 rebounds and 6 points.

Adams has a bye this week to tweak a few things before traveling to Stoney Creek to take on the Cougars on Monday December 10th for a 4:00pm start.

Adams 40 Stoney Creek 36.  Stoney Creek- Adams Freshmen go to 2-0 in this young season with a 40-36 win over Stoney Creek. Adams led start to finish in this one, although Stoney played very aggressive and pulled within 1 point in the 4rth quarter. Both teams got off to a slow start and Adams led 14-7 at the half. Stoney started to play more aggressive in the 2nd half by pulling our big men to the top of the key and flashed across the middle for many easy buckets. Once again Adams played tough when needed down the stretch. Nick Zekaj sank a free throw with 22 seconds left and Ben Hollet ripped down a rebound to end the game.

Matt Nestor led Adams with 10 points and 7 rebounds, Brad Nylen added 8 points and Nick Zekaj added 7. Ben Hollett had 9 rebounds.

LAKE ORION

Adams 66 Lake Orion 55.  The Adams Freshmen Highlanders continued their winning ways with an impressive win over the Lake Orion Dragons. Adams raced off to an 8-0 lead to start the game, until the Dragons pulled off a 6-0 run of their own to set a tone that would last the entire game. Adams was on the brink of blowing the game wide-open on several occasions, but the scrappy bunch from Lake Orion would have none of that and kept the score within reach the entire game. After leading by 6 at the half, Adams built a 12 point lead in the 3rd quarter and never really looked back from there. Adams broke the Lake Orion press very well in this game and did a good job on the 'boards'. Spencer Cairo led the Adams attack with 12 points and 12 rebounds, Brad Nylen added 11 points and 9 rebounds. Other Adams leading scorers were Kosta Patsarikas with 10 points, Nick Zekaj with 9 and Matt Nestor with 7.

LAHSER

Adams 47 Lahser 35 (2 OT's)

CRANBROOK KINGSWOOD

Adams 55 Cranbrook 37
Cranbrook- The Adams Freshmen Highlanders ended 2007 undefeated with a 55-37 thrashing of Cranbrook Kingswood. Cranbrook stayed with Adams until midway of the 1rst quarter until Adams went on a 10-0 run and never looked back from there. Coach Hall used his entire roster and all the players saw significant minutes. Brad Nylen led the scoring with 11 points to go with his 9 rebounds, Matt Nestor, Kosta Patarikas and Matt Charlebois each had 7 points. Spencer Cairo had 10 rebounds and Ben Hollett had 8. Now the Boys get a well deserved rest and needed practice time for the tough schedule that awaits them in 2008.
