New Canaan Basketball Tops Staples

NEW CANAAN – More than once this season, the New Canaan Rams basketball team has taken a lead early in a game, only to let it slip away. Friday night’s contest against Staples seemed to follow the same script, as a 41-33 fourth quarter advantage dissipated to 41-37 in a matter of minutes. Leave it to a freshman to write a plot twist. A huge three-pointer by 9th Grader Tyler Sweeney gave the Rams some breathing room, propelling them to a 46-40 win over the Wreckers in front of the biggest home crowd of the season. “That was a big shot,” said New Canaan head coach Mike Evans, who saw his team improve to 3-10 (3-8 in the FCIAC) on the season.
