On this day 33 years ago, the boys’ basketball traveled to Southold and won a thrilling game, 75-73. The pace of the contest was frenetic from the start as the Shrikes took the opening quarter, 22-19. The Brook battled the Settlers to a 17-17 standstill in the second quarter and took a 39-36 edge into the break.

The third frame, however, was disastrous as the Blue and White lost the quarter, 2-18, and trailed by thirteen entering the final quarter.
