Reopening of Moonlite Drive-In one step closer to being a reality

WILKES-BARRE &#8212; It&#8217;s not official yet. There are still three more games to play. Anything can happen.Yeah, that&#8217;s all true. But Holy Redeemer is in darn good shape after Tuesday night&#8217;s 65-54 victory over Wyoming Seminary.&#8220;I like out chance considering the remaining games on our schedule,&#8221; Redeemer coach Paul Guido said. &#8220;As long as we keep on playing well like we have been, I like our chances. Tonight was a big game for us in that aspect.&#8221;Redeemer (8-5 Div. 3, 11-8 overall) took a two-game lead over Seminary (6-7, 11-9) for the Wyoming Valley Conference Division 3 boys basketball title. Both teams play Hanover Area and Lake-Lehman, while Redeemer also has MMI Prep.So the Royals appear headed for their first divisional title since the 2014-15 season thanks to a balanced attack. Sophomore forward Collin Cook led the way with a double-double, scoring 16 points and 11 rebounds. The starting backcourt was also big as Joey Judge scored 14 and Jason Stachokus netted 11.And sophomore center Nick Prociak, who Guido said is playing better in a reserve role than a starter, scored 12 and helped the Royals have a 34-14 rebound advantage.&#8220;When we played Seminary over there at their place, they really beat us up on the glass, on rebounding and on loose balls and second chances,&#8221; Guido said. &#8220;Whether it was boxing us out or outrebounding us, so that was something we really wanted to not happen again. We made that a point of emphasis.&#8221;Seminary led 40-37 midway through the fourth, riding the hot shooting of freshman Jeremy Callahan. Callahan finished with 26 points, including five 3-pointers in the first half, as the Blue Knights were minus leading scorer Dimtri Gnall. Gnall missed the game with the flu.Redeemer, though ripped off the next 12 points, with Cook turning a steal into a three-point play to end the run.The fourth quarter played out similarly. Seminary would get one chance in the offensive end as Redeemer kept a double-digit lead throughout most of the final eight minutes.&#8220;I looked at the stats a few minutes ago and we really got killed on the boards,&#8221; Seminary coach C.J. Kersey said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know exactly what they were off the top of my head. We struggled with that early in the year. We&#8217;ve been doing much better with our rebounding, but tonight was not a good night for us on the boards.&#8220;Give Redeemer credit. They were aggressive going to the boards and got a lot of second chances. In a game that was really close in the middle of the third, those were some important points obviously.&#8221;Callahan was the only Blue Knight in double figures. Nicholas Ganter added eight.Both teams could meet again in the District 2 Class 3A tournament. Redeemer will likely be one of the top three seeds if it wins out. Seminary will likely fall in at the fourth or fifth seed in the eight-team bracket.&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot for us to play for,&#8221; Kersey said. &#8220;We&#8217;re still a very young team and have to continue to improve with all of our players. We want to make sure we&#8217;re playing our best basketball when districts start.&#8221;Meyers 58,Wyoming Area 42Levaugn Soles led four Mohawks in double figures with 14 points as Meyers outscored the Warriors 34-19 after halftime. Ryan Gilgallon (13), Robbie Formola (12) and Matt Dessoye (11) all chipped in.Wyoming Area&#8217;s Sam Greenfield scored a game-high 18 points.MMI Prep 49,Lake-Lehman 43Philip Byriel (11 points) and Matt Marchetti (10) led a balanced effort that gave the Preppers their first WVC win of the season.Lehman&#8217;s Cole Spencer led all scorers with 24 points.GAR 57,Tunkhannock 47Tied at halftime, the Grenadiers outscored the Tigers 23-8 in the third quarter to take control on the road. Will Johnson (25 points) and Keyshawn Palmer (18) combined for the bulk of GAR&#8217;s scoring.Sean Harder finished with 16 points for the Tigers.Hazleton Area 87,Wyoming Valley West 79Jeffrey Planutis (28 points) and Da&#8217;mir Faison (23) both had big nights to lift the Cougars to a road win.Noah Frace (20), Aaron Austin (17) and Sean Judge (16) led the Spartans.Crestwood 53,Dallas 47Noah Jackson scored 10 of his 12 points over the first two quarters as the Comets built a 10-point halftime lead, then held off a furious Mountaineers comeback.Kyle Gegaris scored seven of his team-high 15 points in the fourth quarter to help Crestwood close out the victory.
