By Bill Landon
The Comsewogue Warriors trailed by 12 points in the opening eight minutes of play against Center Moriches, but chipped away at the deficit to trail by two at the half.
Comsewogue junior RJ Varland had the hot hand in the second half, as the Warriors retook the lead in the 3rd quarter and stretched their legs the rest of the way, slamming the door on their visitors, winning the non-league matchup 70-61.
The Warriors spread the wealth among five shooters with Joe Perri leading the pack with 17 points. Varland and Hunter Marquardt banked 16 and 15 points, respectively, with teammates Amir Swanson netting 12, along with James Ward who added 10. Marquardt notched three triples and Varland and Perri each found the net from long distance, with two three-pointers apiece.
The Comsewogue Warriors have three more non-league matchups before league play begins with a road game against Bellport on Dec. 16. Tip-off is scheduled for 6:15 p.m.
