JJ!! MARTINEZ!! After Gretz makes two FTs to tie us at 60, the junior makes this tough layup at the buzzer as @stmarysspartans wins it 62-60. Heartbreak for the Clippers, but they more than proved that they're a state title contender.

Martinez one FT, it's 60-58 Spartans with 30 seconds left. Port calls a TO to set up a play.

Yeah, now the Clippers need to keep fouling when they could have just gotten a stop originally.
Very strange .. Newburyport's first foul of the quarter comes with 51 seconds left. St. Mary's gets a fresh 35 shot clock, but Gretz commits what appeared to be an unneeded intentional foul. Now there's 36 seconds left and a fresh 35 for the Spartans. Clippers only with 2 fouls

St. Mary's somehow leaves Gretz open off a baseline OOB, and the senior drills a 3 to brings this back to 59-58. Clippers call a TO trailing by 1 with 107 left.

Hard to believe that Jake Fortier is only a freshman. The Spartans have a good one in the young man, and a J puts his team up 57-54.

Martinez a driving lay to open the fourth and the Spartans retake the lead, 50-49.
End 3: Newburyport 49, St. Mary's 48 Of course the Spartans aren't going away! They get two steals over the final 45 seconds that leads to a layup and a Fortier (13 pts) 3 The Clippers have crushed everyone in the CAL, not playing a close game since Christmas. Will that factor?

Criag makes two FTs to make it 46-38, and Port immediately calls a TO. Smart move from coach Mark Elmendorf, as the Clippers' last two possessions defensively have been poor, then the had a 10-second violation. Started to get uneasy, so steady the troops.
Martinez with 5 quick points and St. Mary's cuts into its deficit. Makes it 44-38 Port.

Leanna two more FTs, then Gretz grabs a board and fires a pass up to Corneau for the transition lay. Newburyport is feeling it up 44-33, and St. Mary's needs a TO. Spartans offense stagnant to start this half, easy to defend.

Craig a steal and layup, followed by a Leanna O-board and FTs. Newburyport has its largest lead of the game at 38-31.

Gretz's hits a 3, but also just picks up his second foul. Fouls already piling up for the Clippers.
Mutombo's second O-board leads to Sam Craig picking up his second foul. Then Atherton just fouled Martinez on a 3. St. Mary's up 9-2.
