The Bulls of Smithtown East (13-2) came calling on Newfield Tuesday night and  the Wolverines had an axe to grind, having lost their previous matchup by 20 points back in December. 

This time Newfield led by five points midway through the 3rd quarter, only to see that lead evaporate when both teams deadlocked at 54-54 with three minutes left in regulation. The Wolverines surged ahead by six points a minute later but it would be short lived. The Bulls rallied to take a two-point lead with 0:59 seconds left and then sealed the deal with a free throw in the final seconds to escape with a 65-62 victory.

Both teams retake the court with road games against North Babylon. Newfield plays North Babylon on Thursday, Jan. 23 at 4:00 p.m., and Smithtown East the week after on Jan. 30, with a 5:45 p.m. start.

The win cements the Bulls 2nd place position in league III just behind Hills East with four games remaining before post season play begins.

This past Saturday, Dec. 7, when Centereach came calling on Newfield, their crosstown rival in a non-league boys basketball matchup, the Wolverines controlled the tempo of the game from the opening tipoff, as the Cougars found themselves down 19 points at the half. Newfield’s dominant defensive performance the rest of the way inked a 71-37 victory over their visitors.

Newfield senior Ryan Hicks topped the scoring charts for the Wolverines with 17 points, with teammate Aiden Ifill adding 16.

Centereach senior forward Michael Edmond led the way for the Cougars, hitting four three-pointers, a field goal and three from the charity stripe for 17 points.

The win lifts the Wolverines to 2-0, while the loss drops Centereach to 0-2 in this early season.

It was Neelesh Raghurama’s long-range shooting prowess that powered the Patriots (No. 9) over the Wolverines (No. 8) with four triples and five field goals for a team high 22 points, leading Ward Melville in a 62-38 win over host Newfield in the opening round of Suffolk AAA playoff action Feb. 21. 

Newfield stayed within striking distance trailing by eight points to open the second half but struggled to gain traction against a potent Patriot offensive press in the final 16 minutes of play.

Rounding out the scoring for the Patriots were Devin Lynch with 14 points and Lorenzo Beaton netted 12.

Josh Hayes topped the scoring chart for the Wolverines with 12 points.

Newfield concludes its 2023-24 basketball campaign with a 10-6 league record, 12-8 overall.

Undefeated Bay Shore ended Ward Melville’s run with a 60-40 win in the quarterfinals Feb. 23. The Patriots took home a 9-7 league record, 12-10 overall.
