In a game that epitomized its season, the boys basketball team lost to Latin Academy, 75-57, Sunday during the semi-final contest of the Brookline basketball tournament.

“We went up and down,” said Blue and Blue head coach Barry Robinson. “It was typical of our season.”

With the defeat, English falls to 6-12.

The Blue and Blue dug themselves a hole to start the game letting Latin Academy get out to a 13-4 lead. But they battled back to cut the deficit to six and shut the Dragons down in the second quarter. Those efforts were erased by what Robinson described as “dumb fouls” in the second half, which would lead to English’s defeat.

Freshman point guard Antwain Williams played well off the bench and Robinson said he has “the opportunity to be very special.”
