Dylan Bittle and Dan Lloyd didn’t get much time on Penncrest’s senior night, but they made the most of it.
Both cleared for limited action after sustaining injuries that had effectively ended their season, Lloyd hit a 3-pointer from the corner off a set play on the first possession of Thursday night’s game against Springfield, and Bittle added a bucket in the first minute of the Lions’ 58-27 win over the Cougars.
Fellow senior Gee Antonelli, who has missed the entire season with a foot injury, also got into action for the first time Thursday.
Malcolm Williams led the Lions with 17 points. Matt Arbogast added 10 points, and Aiden Carroll chipped in nine for the Lions (17-5, 13-3), who enter Saturday’s Central League semifinals on a six-game winning streak.
Robby Longo scored all seven of his points in the fourth quarter, and Cole Rhodes added six for the Cougars (0-22, 0-16).
