Central Catholic downed Watertown, 77-72, this evening to win the championship game of the Comcast Officials Board 27 Tournament at BC High’s McNeice Pavilion.

As expected, CC used the height in its frontcourt to its advantage. Six-foot-11 junior Carson Desrosiers, who matched up against 6-1 Watertown twins Corey (22 points) and Kyle Stockmal (28), went for 29 points on 12-of-14 shooting and added 14 rebounds and six blocks to take home tournament MVP honors.

In the consolation game, Newton North staved off a late BC High rally to prevail, 84-82. With eight seconds left, the Eagles’ Mike Albanese (21 points) pulled down an errant North free throw and kicked it out to Bryan Hurley (22), who nailed a 3-pointer from the top of the key for an 82-81 deficit with 1.8 seconds left.

BC head coach Bill Loughnane called a timeout, even though he had none, prompting a technical foul. Greg Kelley (26 points, seven rebounds) made both free throws, but Loughnane’s gamble almost paid off. A steal was made on the inbounds, and Jameel Galloway (10 points, 10 rebounds) chucked up a halfcourt shot that missed.

The All-Tournament team was as follows:

• Bryan Hurley, BC High
• Geoff Woodberry, Newton North
• Billy Marsden, Central Catholic
• Kyle Stockmal, Watertown
• Corey Stockmal, Watertown

A couple quick notes:

• Kyle Stockmal broke the school’s all-time scoring mark tonight, previously held by a former mentor of his, 2007 graduate and Wheaton College sophomore Anthony Coppola. The senior hit a 12-footer from the left wing with 37.5 seconds left in the second quarter to break the record. Play was stopped as Kyle received a standing ovation.

  And while he thought that the stoppage halted some of the Raiders' momentum, he appreciated the moment.

  “I’d rather have the win, but it’s an honor,” he said.

  Said head coach Steve Harrington, “Terrific kid, he deserves it. He’s been a warrior, a leader in every aspect –- on the floor, off the floor. I’m very happy for him.”

• The great thing about Watertown’s system is that, in a game like this, where perimeter shooting can counter such a size disadvantage, there are little adjustments. It was a typical 3-point shooting night for Harrington’s troops – 12 of 35, led by the Stockmals (five each) – and it kept the game close.

  In the end, though, size prevailed. Both Stockmals moved well switching off against Central’s bigs, but when your two tallest players give up 10 inches to a guy like Desrosiers – whom Kyle called “the most dominant player in this state” – there’s only so much you can do.

  "The matchups were bad. They had five guards," CC head coach Rick Nault said. "When we were in a zone we were giving them open looks. But Carson is a pretty good on-ball defender."
