High School Boys Basketball – Friday January 6, 2017

Quaker Valley – 78

Beaver Falls – 58

Rochester 81, St. Joseph 75

After a sluggish start, the #7 Rochester Rams caught fire at the end of the first half, and kept the momentum throughout as they defeat #10 St. Joseph 81-75 in the First Round match in the 1A WPIAL Boys’ Basketball playoffs on Beaver County Radio.

The Rams trailed by 3 after 1, but took a 44-40 lead at the half and didn’t look back. St Joseph ends their season at 13-10, while Rochester improves to 16-6 and will take on #2 Vincentian in the 1A Quarterfinals.

The Spartans’ Daniel Fabregas and Rochester’s Chad Meny were selected as the CCBC Players Of The Game.

Bob Barrickman has the recap for beavercountyradio.com.

Geneva Drops Six Straight On The Court

The Geneva men lost their sixth straight game Wednesday night on Beaver County Radio, losing to rival Westminster by a score of 72-64. The loss drops the Golden Tornadoes to 9-15 overall and 6-11 in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference, forcing a potential must-win situation against Waynesburg in Saturday night’s season finale.

Jimmy Leichliter came off the bench to lead Geneva with 19 points, while starting forward Ethan Moose scored 18 in the loss. The Titans were led by Jarret Vrabel with 20, followed by Austin Armwood with 17. Westminster improves to 15-9 overall (11-6 in the PAC).

Malkin Sharp In Return To Ice For Pittsburgh

Evgeni Malkin returned to the lineup, scoring an assist and a goal, and Matt Murray stopped all 29 shots as the Pittsburgh Penguins shut out the Vancouver Canucks 4-0 on Tuesday night. Sidney Crosby earned his 999th point when he assisted on Jake Guentzel’s 3rd-period goal, and Phil Kessel and Matt Cullen both tallied goals. The win puts Pittsburgh in 2nd place in the Metropolitan, and their next game is Thursday night at home against Winnipeg (7:30 pregame, 8:00 puck drop).
