The Frontier Regional boys basketball team lost to Wahconah, 67-52, at the Mullins Center during the Pioneer Valley Tip-off Classic on Saturday.
It was an excellent early season test for the Redhawks.
“I think they are a physical team,” Frontier coach Josh Morse said. “They rebound well. They are disciplined. Those are the kinds of teams you want to play, certainly. I thought it was a pretty well-played game for the most part.”
The Warriors’ lead grew after each quarter before pulling away in the final frame. Max Millette scored 22 points with 11 rebounds for the Redhawks (1-1). Millette is now eight points away from 1,000 for his career. Frontier travels to Athol on Monday.
“They just executed better than us,” Morse said. “We’ve got to learn to turn it around. We have one day off. That’s the name of his game. Our challenge is is build off it. The best team’s face a little adversity. How do you respond?”
Rowan Modestow and Alex Ellis each had eight points. Ty Skroski and Garrett Dredge both chipped in with seven points.
“We got some guys going that we wanted to,” Morse said. “Good teams are well-balanced.
