Pirate season ends at hands of Academy

By ROB HAMILTON

The second-seeded Colum­bus Acad­emy Vikings were able to pull away from Card­ing­ton thanks to strong first and third quar­ters on Wednesday.

In elim­i­nat­ing the vis­it­ing Pirates from the Divi­sion III boys’ bas­ket­ball play­offs on Wednes­day by a 60–34 mar­gin, the Vikings took a 15–6 lead after eight min­utes of play.

With the score 27–16 after the half­time inter­mis­sion, the Vikings would outscore Card­ing­ton 18–4 in the third period to essen­tially clinch the win. They would go on to add one more point to their advan­tage in the final quar­ter of play.

Tyler Dornon led the Card­ing­ton offense with 13 points.
