As they prepped for their latest all-or-nothing postseason outing, Milton Hershey skipper Mark Zerbe posted a concise message that turned out to be mighty profound.
Sensing the opposition might start quickly and put his surging club in arrears — which they did — Zerbe just wanted his talented yet undersized bunch to maintain their composure and hang in there. He figured his explosive group would have an opportunity to make its own timely run.
Well, Zerbe had everything pretty well pegged.
The early run by the guys on the other bench, as well as the necessity for on-court composure throughout the 32-minute exercise. Even the possibility of his own squad erupting and uncorking a timely run, something that anyone who’s watched the Spartans, knows can happen at any time.
Closing out the contest with a timely salvo that ultimately scuttled the opposition, Milton Hershey motored past Archbishop Carroll 73-65 in a terrific PIAA Class 5A quarterfinal-round encounter before an amped-up gathering Friday night at Garden Spot High School.
