The Kings Park boys basketball squad mashed the gas pedal from the opening tip-off and never lifted it in a road game against the Wildcats of Shoreham-Wading Friday afternoon. Jan. 17. 

The Kingsmen, protecting a 12-point lead coming out of the halftime break, never looked back scoring the Wildcats in the third quarter before Kings Park head coach Chris Rube rested most of his starters and flushed the bench, cruising to a 50-33 victory in the League VI contest.

Justin Sandstedt led the way for the Kingsmen scoring 12 points along with teammate Jay Paul Verme who netted 10. 

The win lifts the Kingsmen to 6-2 holding on to  second place in the league standings while the loss drops the Wildcats to 3-6

Kings Park (3-5) squared off against host Hampton Bays (3-4) Saturday night where no decision was made after 32 minutes of play. With both teams deadlocked at 53-53 at the end of regulation, a four-minute overtime period was forced to decide the winner in the League V matchup Jan. 6.

Hampton Bays edged ahead clinging to a four-point lead with 33 seconds left in the overtime period, a lead that shrank to three with eight seconds left. Kings Park senior Thomas Matonti got the call and managed to let a 3-pointer fly that just missed its mark as the final buzzer sounded, with the Kingsmen falling to the Baymen 63-60.

It was the senior core of co-captains that topped the scoring chart for the Kingsmen with Joe Romano’s team high of 23 points, Thomas Matonti did his damage from afar with six triples and a pair of free throws for 20 points and John Flynn added 12.

Having lost to Elwood-John Glenn two days earlier, Kings Park rebounded Tuesday, defeating Islip at home 61-52. The Kingsmen will look to build on that momentum when they retake the court in another league matchup Tuesday, Jan. 16, with a road game against Harborfields. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.
