QUEECHEE – Winning just their fourth game of the season, the fourteenth ranked Northfield boys basketball team upset No. 3 Mid-Vermont Christian last week in the opening round of the Division IV state tournament. 

Elijah Scott’s 17 points and eight rebounds powered the Marauders to a stunning 52-41 road win over the Eagles last Tuesday. Former Hazen Union standout Damian Morrison added nine points for Northfield, who earned just their second playoff victory in over two decades. Williamstown ended the Marauders’ Cinderella Run on Friday with a 74-48 win to advance to the Final Four in Barre. Senior Nick Mascitti (26 points, 15 rebounds) reached the 1,000-career points milestone for the Blue Devils in the win. Morrison scored 13 in the loss for Northfield.

Williamstown squared off against top seeded West Rutland at the Barre Auditorium on Monday night.
