Sharon Boys' Basketball Stops Oliver Ames on Senior Night

Sharon will look to secure a playoff berth on Friday when it will host Milford.

The Oliver Ames boys' basketball team was unable to secure a playoff-clinching victory on Senior Night.  The Tigers fell to Sharon, 89-71 Tuesday in a Davenport Division clash against Sharon. The Eagles, like the Tigers, were able to move within one victory of earning a playoff bid. Beating OA twice in one year was important, according to Sharon coach Bruce Jackman. "It’s a great rivalry, and for us to beat them twice in a row – I feel good for the seniors," he said. "They hadn’t beat them in three years so it was really nice to have that happen." Sharon won on the backs of juniors Brian Mukasa and James Fritzon, who finished the game with 30 and 31 points respectively. Two 30-plus point scorers became too much of a handful for the Tigers…

Stoughton Out-Runs Sharon in Girls Hoop

Host Black Knights win, 46-40.

The Stoughton High School varsity girls basketball team defeated visiting Sharon in a game of runs Friday night. The Black Knights had the two largest runs of the game, and won, 46-40. The Senior Night win secured Stoughton (10-5) a state tournament spot. "Our team hasn’t made tournament in a long time, so we’re extremely excited," senior Chrystal Holland said.

OA Ends Sharon Boys Basketball's Playoff Hopes

Tigers hang on for 65-62 win.

The Oliver Ames varsity boys basketball team held on at the buzzer for a 65-62 victory over visiting Sharon on Friday night. Trailing by 10 after three quarters, the Eagles rallied back. Junior forward Ian Beach tried to tie the game with a last-second shot, yet fell short. The loss eliminated the Eagles (3-11) from a state tournament berth. "It was a great effort," Sharon head coach Bruce Jackman said. "We played hard and we had a chance to steal one at the end, but it just wasn't meant to be." Oliver Ames (9-5), meanwhile, is one win away from reaching the state tourney. "Hats off to Sharon. I thought they were terrific," OA head coach Don Byron said. "They were in a situation where they had to win and for all those kinds of reasons, …
