WEST ELLICOTT — Carson Swanson scored 29 points to go along with six assists, six steals and four rebounds to help Westfield hold off Southwestern in the championship game of the Southwestern Tournament.
The Wolverines (6-1) led 31-30 at halftime and 51-44 after three quarters, but the Trojans (1-4) cut the deficit to two points late in the final period. Fouled with 29 seconds remaining, Swanson hit one of two free throws to push Westfield’s lead to three points. Southwestern had a great look at a game-tying 3-pointer in the final moments, but the shot didn’t fall.
Joining Swanson in double figures for the Wolverines was Zach Maguire, who finished with 14 points to go along with 11 rebounds. Grant Beadle added 6 points and 10 rebounds; and freshman Braylon Swanson drilled two 3-pointers to go along with two assists and two steals.
For the Trojans, Landon Hooks led the way with 19 points, Chase Harnett had 12, Connor Young chipped in 9 and Colton Waite added 8.

HORNETS TRIM BROCTON
BROCTON — William Duliba hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 5 seconds remaining and Brocton’s last-chance shot went up just late as Forestville escaped with a 75-74 nonleague victory.
The Hornets (6-0) trailed by five with less than a minute remaining, but Jack Spengler scored to make it a three-point game. After a steal, Jacob Anders was fouled on a breakaway and sank a pair of free throws to make it a one-point game.
The Bulldogs (1-5) made it a two-point game with a free throw before Forestville’s go-ahead possession. Manny Sanchez used a Blake Waterman screen to find Duliba open in the corner for the eventual winning bucket.
A scramble ensued during Brocton’s final possession and the Bulldogs’ last-ditch effort went in, but was deemed too late to count.
Anders finished with 22 points and Duliba added 20 for the Hornets. Waterman had nine rebounds and four assists; Sanchez had three rebounds, six assists and four steals; and Spengler had six rebounds.
Michael Garcia led Brocton with 25 points to go along with seven rebounds, while Jeremy Weisner had 20 points and 11 rebounds. Nathan Laurito chipped in 17 points, nine rebounds and eight assists in the loss.
