Bloom Trail came from 17 points down to tie it in the fourth quarter, only to let Bloom slip away with a 67-62 SICA East victory. Bloom (13-4, 3-2) led 62-45 with 4:26 to play, but Bloom Trail (8-10, 1-5) scored the next 17 points, with Steve Henley (17 points) and Shawn Aldridge (16 points) getting six each, all on free throws. With 51 seconds to go, Bloom`s Jeff David made his first free throw but missed his second. Brandon Cole followed and missed, but Joe Barner tipped in the ball to ice it.
”It`s the same old story,” Bloom coach Frank Nardi said. ”We build up a big lead and we refuse to run our offense. We`re very consistent about it;
it`s one pass and shoot.”
Cole led Bloom with 31 points. Dana Parker added 14.
