Holy Name smokes Feehan

ATTLEBORO -- It was a treat for the eyes to behold on the basketball floor at Bishop Feehan High School Monday.

Players whipped fluid outlet passes and supplied unselfish exchanges of the ball. There was movement on the floor, shots and points coming from all angles. A trio of sophomores in the starting lineup oozing with talent and the fourth underclassman possessed a wingspan and a soft touch.

Add their athletic defensive dimension and you can rest assured that Holy Name High School of Worcester will be a Final Four team for the MIAA Central Tournament, perhaps a participant in the state-wide soiree.

Holy Name is that good of a basketball team. The unbeaten Napoleons notched their sixth victory of the season, running past Bishop Feehan 64-38 in the Shamrocks' Holiday Tournament title game.

`` Oh, there's a lot of teams in Worcester that can beat us -- St. John's, Whitinsville Christian,'' related Holy Name coach Jason Chavoor. `` We're beatable.''
The Napoleons owned a 19-3 advantage over the Shamrocks barely five minutes into the championship contest, held a 37-24 lead at intermission and then limited Bishop Feehan to merely one field goal during the first nine minutes of the second half.

Bobby Scroggins, Holy Name's silky smooth 6-foot-6 junior center, supplied 14 points and 14 rebounds. Dominque Price, the Napoleons' 6-foot-2 junior guard and transitional catalyst, totaled nine points, seven rebounds and six assists. Ryan Brown, a 5-foot-11 sophomore guard, had 14 points and yet another second-year man, 6-foot-3 forward Mike Baldarelli, sank a pair of three-point field goals and had eight points.
