Scenes from Suburban Council boys basketball: Shenendehowa rallies past CBA

By ROB JONAS

CLIFTON PARK – A big performance from Jake Reinisch and a crazy finish added up to a victory for the Shenendehowa boys basketball team.

Reinisch poured in 25 points to lead all scorers, but it was a gutsy give-and-go between TJ Sangare and Nick Lemire on an inbounds play that propelled Shen to a 65-63 Suburban Council victory over Christian Brothers Academy Friday, Dec. 7.

Leading 61-60 with 16 seconds left, Sangare was given the ball by the referee to put it in play underneath the Plainsmen’s basket after a Shen timeout. Instead, Lemire crossed over the end line and took the pass from Sangare. Lemire held the ball for a second and then threw a three-quarter court pass to a streaking Sangare, who took off while all eyes were on Lemire. Sangare caught the pass in stride and softly jammed the ball through to give Shen a three-point advantage.
