In one of the most improbable comebacks in Section X
history, the Hammond Red Devils crawled back from a 25-point
halftime hole and down 17 points entering the final quarter
to stun the Chateaugay Bulldogs 59-56 in the Class D
semifinals at SUNY Canton. The Bulldogs executed an almost
flawless first half, racking up a 43-18 lead at
intermission. Four of five Chateaugay starters were living
the dream of pouring in shot after shot against a
usually-stingy Red Devils’ defense. But on this night, the
Hammond 2-3 zone was inactive and Chateaugay took repeated
advantage with quality looks and open jumpers from virtually
every position. By intermission, the Bulldogs had built a
formidable 43-18 cushion. However, in the break, Hammond
Coach Shawn Dack refocused the defensive effort, changing up
to an aggressive man-to-man and telling his players that
down by 25, there was nothing left to lose. The Devils came
out and immediately scrambled for four points and chipped
away in the third frame. They held Chateaugay to limited
looks and just seven points, but still trailed 50-33. With
four Bulldogs in foul trouble, Hammond turned up the heat
even more in the dramatic final quarter. Alyssa Crosby took
over and pounded away inside, getting the margin down to
54-44. Gabby Marshall’s three-ball and Brianne Langtry’s
converted steal on the subsequent inbound pass brought the
Devils within five, 54-49. Hammond capped a 10-0 tear to tie
the game when Crosby converted a lay up. Mikayla Fleury two
free throws, but Crosby countered with two foul shots to tie
again 56-56. After a missed shot by Chateaugay with 11
seconds remaining, Crosby went hard to the hole on the left
side and stumbled over Courtney Boyea on a final desperation
effort to win and flipped the bail to the rack. It bounced
in with just 1.8 seconds remaining. A converted free throw
polished off a 59-56 win. Crosby finished with 35 points.
Mary Wilson and Gabby Marshall dropped in six points each to
lead the Devils. Boyer led a balanced Bulldog offense with
13 points, while Alexis Beach added 12, Fleury added 11 and
Hannah Cook dished up 10.
