AUBURN Gabe Carey opened the contest by swishing a pair of 3-pointers, and putting Saint Dominic Academy on its way to a 68-53 boys basketball victory over Pine Tree Academy on Monday at Callahan Family Memorial Gymnasium.
As if to one-up his first 3-pointer which came after the Breakers (0-1) were nearly successful on a half-court trap out of the opening inbounds pass Carey launched his second 3 from far beyond the arc.
“Against Richmond he (shot) 2-for-I-don’t-even-know-what, but he didn’t have a 3, which that’s not like him,” Saints (1-1) coach Josh LaPrell said. “So that first one was huge, just to see it go in, and then I knew he was going to be OK.”
