For Falmouth boys basketball, the Atlantic Coast League crown is one step closer.

The Clippers (13-3, 9-1 ACL) beat the Marshfield Rams (11-3, 9-2) Friday night, 61-46, and are now the only Atlantic Coast team with less than two losses.

"Marshfield is well-coached, so for us to get this win, it was huge," Clippers coach Paul Lundberg said.

Falmouth's offensive production was spread out. Juniors John Lavin and Nelson Baptist had 15 and 13 respectively, while seniors Alessio Tranchel and DK Johnson scored 13 and 12.

Lundberg referred to the balanced scoring attack and the defense played on Marshfield's two top players, Barrett Murphy and Eric Deprado, as keys to the Clippers' victory.

Deprado, who dropped 17 points in Marshfield's 67-54 home win back on Jan. 12, was held to nine. Murphy, who also had 17 that night, scored 15 Friday.
