The Hawks didn’t blink. #12 HAFTR built a nine-point lead in the fourth quarter, then held on when #1 Valley Basketball Club came all the way back, winning 51–48 in Saturday night’s Tier I Consolation game on Court 1.

The first quarter was even. Valley led 10–8 before HAFTR tied it, and the teams were level at 10–10 after one. The Wolfpack went up 19–15 in the second, but the Hawks closed the half with an 8–0 run and led 23–19 at the break.

HAFTR kept a small lead through the third and was up 35–32 after three. Then Asher Freundlich took over. He hit a three, made two free throws and scored again, and HAFTR led 48–39 with four minutes left.

Valley came back. Eli Leibowitz hit a three, Dvir Assayag Raham scored inside, and Ethan R’bibo made two free throws, and Gabriel Masud‘s basket with 1:27 left cut it to 49–48. Aiden Zuckerman made one of two free throws with 31 seconds left to put HAFTR up two. R’bibo’s three for the lead missed with four seconds left. Jakey Aron made a free throw with one second on the clock to finish it.

Freundlich led everyone with 21 points, including three threes. Jake Zuckerman added 14 and Aiden Zuckerman had 8. R’bibo led Valley with 15 points and three threes, Assayag Raham scored 9, and Jonny Laufer made all three of his shots for 7.

Up next: HAFTR plays for fifth place in Tier I on Sunday at 11:30 AM against the winner of LA Panthers vs. MDY. Valley plays for seventh place at 9:00 AM.
