Indians fall short against Roy C. Ketcham

BY SKIP PEARLMAN
CONTRIBUTING WRITER

e Mahopac boys’ basketball team couldn’t get anything going in a 54-42 loss last
ursday ( Jan. 9) to Roy C. Ketcham, but the Indians came back on Saturday with
a strong performance in a 60–46 victory over crosstown rival, Carmel, in the ‘United
Against Cancer’ game for both teams.
Saturday at Carmel (6-5, 1-1), the Indians (4-5, 1-2) controlled the game on their
way to their rst league victory.
“We really moved the ball well,” said Mahopac coach Tom McMahon. “ at’s not
really a strength for us this season, so that was a good sign. And we did really well re-
bounding (Mahopac had 29 o ensive rebounds). We took a lot of shots, but with the
rebounding we have a better chance to score. Sixty points is a good number for us.”
Matthew McMahon led the Indians with 14 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. John
Cosentino had 12 points, Luke Syku had 11 points and 9 rebounds; Patrick McMahon
had 6 points and 9 rebounds; and Ryan Reilly came up with a strong e ort with 6
points, 7 rebounds and 4 blocks.
“Reilly, a sophomore, probably played his best game,” the coach said. “It was an in-
tense game, and big for our team. Matthew had a nice stat line; we need him to do a lot
of things. Luke really has been working hard, and he’s starting to see the fruits of that
labor. And with John it’s all about con dence, and when he’s con dent, his shots are
dropping, and we play better.”
McMahon was not happy with the team’s e ort two days earlier in the loss to Ket-
cham.
“We were just horrible, it was really frustrating,” the coach said. “We only play 20
games, and we just didn’t show up. at night, from the start, we didn’t compete. It was a
real disappointing night. We got it to seven in the fourth, but no closer. We were bad in
the rst half—but we were still in the game (down 25-22 at halftime), then in the third
we had just two points on free throws, and end up down 11 in the fourth.”
Syku led the way with 14 points and 5 rebounds, and Patrick McMahon added 8
points in the loss.
Mahopac was scheduled to visit John Jay (East Fishkill) at 6 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17, and
the Indians host Carmel at 1 p.m. Saturday Jan. 18, as the “United Against Cancer”
series continues, with varsity boys playing at 1 p.m. and the girls following at 2:30 p.m.
