It’s going to be a packed week of basketball for Bethlehem Catholic, as they look to keep building momentum off a pair of victories last week.
The Hawks (4-2) have reeled off three straight wins following Monday’s 66-43 win over Nativity Blue Mountain.
“Always good to get wins,” said head coach Scott McClary. “They are hard to come by. We have players and coaches that work really hard, as does the other team, so winning is tough. Getting those two wins last week made me really proud of the guys, they truly earned it in practice.”
One thing that McClary was hoping to develop as the season progresses is more balanced scoring and Becahi showed glimpses of that last week in wins over Pocono Mountain East and Easton, as Marcus Drysdale and Aidan Rompilla led the way in the win over the Rovers with 11 and 10 points respectively.
With Alex Cercado averaging 24 points a game on the season, McClary wanted to more balance. Seeing the likes of Drysdale and Rompilla fill the stat sheet is a welcome sign for the team moving forward.
Now, they just need fresh legs this week with three home games in four days, as they took on Northampton Tuesday night, followed by Central Catholic on Thursday.
“Going to be a major challenge this week,” McClary said. “Three games in four days is a challenge physically as well. Hopefully we will continue to grow, especially within our offense, and then we will take a break and enjoy a bit of rest.”
