SHEFFIELD, Mass. – Brady Carpenter recorded a double-double, and James Green played lockdown defense Friday as the Mount Everett boys basketball team beat McCann Tech, 49-33.

 

Carpenter scored 14 points and pulled down 12 rebounds for the Eagles, who bounced back from their first loss of the season and improved to 6-1 this winter.

 

Green drew the defensive assignment on McCann Tech’s Zach Howland, who came in averaging more than 18 points per game but scored just 10 – two in the second half.

 

Mount Everett coach Jowe Warren was happy to get out of the game with Howland scoring just 10.

 

“That’s what we worked on, leading up to this game,” Warren said. “Zach was a kid we were going to look to try to stop, make somebody else beat us. I thought James did a great job.

 

“[Howland] got some space here or there, made some buckets. But he’s going to. Holding to 10, you know, that’s a fantastic night.”

 

Mount Everett’s offense got eight points apiece from Green and Darius Taliaferro. Green also pulled down nine rebounds.
