Greencastle-Antrim 54, Littlestown 52: The Thunderbolts held a 16-point lead in the first half and still led by 8 after three quarters, but the Blue Devils clawed their way back and took a non-league victory Tuesday night at home.

Eli Sterling

Littlestown (0-2) surged to a 16-4 lead after one quarter and padded it to 16 points. Greencastle (2-1) chopped it down to 7 points by halftime, but were outscored by one in the third. In the fourth, the Blue Devils turned up the defense and rallied for a 20-10 advantage in the final 8 minutes.

G-A did a better job guarding 6-foot-8 Christopher Meakin in the second half, double- and triple-teaming him, which led to numerous steals, including on the big play of the game.

With the score 50-49 in Greencastle’s favor, the Bolts inbounded the ball with 42 seconds left. After cycling the ball into Meakin’s hands, Eli Sterling cut in front for a steal, and took it up court for a fast-break layup and was fouled. His free throw gave G-A a 53-49 lead with 0:24 left.

Conner Wright led the Blue Devils with 18 points (14 in the second half). Sterling, who had missed the first two games, added 12 and Carter McCauley and Logan Alvey each had 9, with all of McCauley’s coming in the second half.

Meakin had 16 and Zyan Herr had 14 for Littlestown.
