WAREHAM -- Utilizing a nifty trap defense and spurred by a 10-2 run in the second quarter, the East Boston Jets beat the Wareham Vikings 78-61 Friday night in a showdown of two Top 20 boys basketball teams in Eastern Massachusetts.

East Boston was paced by junior forward Jeff Amazon, who scored 16 points in the game and yet still managed to make it into his coach's dog house (see video). Teammate Troy Williams added 14 points and sophomore Tweet Winn put up another 13, draining his free throws down the stretch to seal the win.

The game wasn't so good for the Vikings, who let the Jets slip away in the second and third quarters with careless turnovers. Wareham was led on offense by Jordan Resendez who scored 14 points. Pat Murphy and Ryan Pina each added 12 points on the night.
