Classical Sneaks Past Scituate, Will Face Narragansett In Division II Basketball Finals

Classical High School survived a big scare from Scituate and will now face Narragansett in the RI Division II Basketball finals, via High School Game Time:

Classical, the reigning Division II champs, avoided an embarrassing upset last night in the Division II Boys Basketball Championships semifinal at CCRI by edging Scituate, 53-49, in overtime. The Purple's Ashton Watkins broke a 49-49 tie with a layup with 31.3 seconds to play in the extra period and Michael Palumbo, the game-high scorer with 17, provided insurance with a pair of free throws with just three seconds remaining. Classical now moves on to play Narragansett in the Division II finals at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Ryan Center.
