Playing its best game of the season, the East Hampton High School boys basketball team, at full strength at last, routed Harborfields 67-34 here on Jan. 27. The last time the teams played, at Harborfields on Jan. 6, the Bonackers edged the Tornadoes 45-43. It was the fourth win of the season for East Hampton vis-a-vis 10 losses.
In other recent high school sports action here, Greylynn Guyer, in finishing fifth in the small schools’ 3,000-meter race in 10 minutes and 48.90 seconds, set an indoor school record, bettering the 10:49.15 that Ava Engstrom ran in 2019, and C.J. Echavarria ran a school-record 9.43 seconds in placing eighth in the 55-meter high hurdles. Her teammate Sophia Figueroa placed 10th in 9.64. Other East Hampton place-winners at the small schools meet were Sara O’Brien, who was fourth in the 600, and Bennett Greene, who was fifth in the 1,500-meter racewalk.
The basketball team came out strong and stayed that way. Harborfields began the game with a 3-pointer, but that was the last time the visitors were to lead. A 29-7 second quarter finished the Tornadoes off, during which Toby Foster and Miles Menu each scored 6 points and Mason Jefferson 5. They — Foster with 22, Menu with 14, and Jefferson with 11 — finished in double figures. Carter Dickinson, the team’s sole senior starter, had 8.
The Bonackers’ last home game was to have been Tuesday with Rocky Point, which defeated East Hampton 77-52 the first time around, on Jan. 10.
