The Platt RVT Panthers will take on the Seymour Wildcats in a tournament on Friday. Expect the scorekeeper to be kept busy: if their previous games are any indication, both will really light up the scoreboard.
Last Thursday, Platt RVT had to suffer through a 92-55 loss at the hands of Grasso Tech. The Panthers were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 49-24.
Meanwhile, Seymour put another one in the bag on Monday to keep their perfect season alive. They breezed by Ansonia to the tune of 72-30. The contest was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point the Wildcats had established a 30 point advantage.
Platt RVT better keep an eye on Joey Carrafiello. He was instrumental in Seymour's win, dropping a double-double on 23 points and ten rebounds. The match was Carrafiello's eighth in a row with at least ten points. Robby Carrafiello was another key player, going 7 for 11 on his way to 16 points and six assists.
Seymour smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 18 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least nine offensive rebounds in three consecutive games.
Platt RVT didn't have too much breathing room in their contest against Seymour in their previous matchup back in January of 2016, but they still walked away with a 71-66 win. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was Seymour's Nick Martins, who went 10 of 16 on his way to 25 points and seven rebounds. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for Platt RVT to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
