BOYS' BASKETBALL: HART DOESN'T LET DOWN IN REMATCH INDIANS AVENGE SAUGUS LOSS TO TAKE CONTROL IN FOOTHILL HART 75, SAUGUS 64.Byline: Vincent Bonsignore Staff Writer SAUGUS Saugus (sô`gəs), town (1990 pop. 25,549), Essex co., NE Mass., a suburb of Boston on the Saugus River near the Atlantic Ocean; settled before 1637, set off from Lynn and inc. 1815. Mainly residential, the town has some light manufacturing. - There wasn't going to be any mad fourth-quarter run this time. No blown lead or regrets. And clearly there wouldn't be any talk about letting one slip away. This time the Hart High boys' basketball team took care of business against Saugus when it counted, closed the deal when it had the chance and maybe, just maybe, grabbed control of the Foothill League title race once and for all. The Indians' 75-64 road victory over the Centurions gives them a one- game lead over Saugus heading into Thursday's finale For the music notation program, see .

A victory over the Cowboys cowboys, in American history. 1 Tory marauders, adherents to the British cause in the American Revolution, who fought in the contested area of Westchester co., N.Y. paves the way for the outright league title. ``We know we haven't accomplished anything just yet, although this feels pretty good,'' said forward Andrew Morris, who had 15 points for Hart (21-4, 8-1). ``We still have a big game to play against Canyon, and now we'll shift gears and start focusing on them. But this was a big win.'' And a measure of revenge. The last time the two teams met, Hart blew a 10-point fourth-quarter lead in an emotional loss, succumbing to the Centurions' full-court pressure by continually con·tin·u·al adj. 1.

Hart finished that game with 20 turnovers and some serious questions of ``what if.'' ``We let that one get away from us,'' Morris said. This time they controlled the game from the outset, took care of the ball and answered anything Saugus (15-10, 7-2) threw at them. ``It helps when you don't turn the ball over,'' Hart coach Tom Kelly People named Tom Kelly include:
Cody Kase, who didn't play in the first game because of stomach flu, finished with a game-high 21 points. There's no telling if his presence would have changed the outcome in game one, but clearly he was a difference-maker in the rematch REMATCH Cardiology Clinical trials–Randomized Evaluation of Mechanical Assistance Therapy as an alternative in Congestive Heart failure–related to use of a portable, electric left ventricular-assist system–LVAS–eg, HeartMate® . ``It just feels good because now we're in control of the league championship,'' Kase said. ``At the same time, we know we've got some work ahead of us. Canyon's going to be waiting for us, so we have to be ready.'' B.J. Willkomm had 18 points for Saugus and Marc Holmquist added 16. But the Centurions were never able to get closer than seven points after falling behind by as many as 16 in the second quarter. Saugus' night was epitomized with 2:50 remaining when Willkomm misfired on a layup Layup Used in the context of general equities. Easily executed trade or order.

Now the attention turns to Canyon, the preseason favorite to win the title. The Cowboys are out of contention for the championship after losing to Saugus and Burbank last week, but they can enjoy a high point of their season and pick up some momentum heading into the playoffs with an upset against the Indians. ``We've got one day to put this behind us and get some practice in and then it's back to work,'' Kelly said. ``We don't have much time. But nobody does.'' CAPTION(S): photo Photo: Hart's Chris Frome, left, and Cody Kase, right, converge con·verge v. con·verged, con·verg·ing, con·verg·es v.intr. 1. a.
