By Bill Landon
It was Ward Melville’s Neelesh Raghurama who set the tempo for the Patriots in a home game against Commack, where the senior guard seemed to be able to score at will.
Whether it was driving the lane, shooting from long distance or being error free at the charity stripe, Raghurama led his team with 8 field goals, two triples and three from the free throw line, for 25 points defeating Commack 60-44 on Dec.16. Teammates James Coffey, the freshman point guard, netted 15 points, and Logan Seta and Jack Degen banked 6 points apiece in the League II matchup.
Jonny Ehlers topped the scoring chart for the Cougars with 10 points and Tyler Wilhelm added 9.
The win lifts the Patriots to 3-3 in the early season, while the loss drops Commack to 2-3.
