CANTON, Jan. 8 — Andrew Crowley became just the fourth boy in school history to score over 1,000 points when he scored 28 points in Friday’s 60-47 win over Bolton. He is the first boy to surpass 1,000 points at Canton since Bill Mudano, Jr. in 1987.
“He had to work real hard to get his points,” Canton coach Eric Deegan said. Bolton had two players on Crowley in the first quarter until his teammates starting scoring and rebounding to get some fast break opportunities.
Crowley, a 6-foot-1 guard, is averaging 25.2 points a game and scored a career-high 32 points in the season-opening win over Portland.
“He’s a better athlete this year,” Deegan said. “He is stronger and his first step gives him the ability to get separation (from the defender). It’s hard to keep him from the rim.”
And because he is stronger, Crowley is better able to withstand the physical play in the lane. “It doesn’t knock him off his stride as much this year,” he said.
