A crowded field atop the South Coast Conference standings led to an unusual situation Sunday night. Fans of two Wareham rivals cheered on the Vikings during a 77-58 romp over Old Rochester Regional High School.

The win gave a piece of the South Coast Conference title to four teams – Wareham, Bourne, Apponequet and Old Rochester. All teams ended the regular season with 12-4 conference records.

During Sunday’s game, Apponequet and Bourne fans cheered on Wareham as the team had a pitched battle with Old Rochester in the first half, ending the second quarter with Wareham in the lead, 37-34.

While Old Rochester had a significant size advantage, Wareham relied on speed to wear down the Bulldogs.

“Everyone’s bigger than us,” said Head Coach Steve Faniel. “Our mantra is: we’re going to play 94 feet for 32 minutes…If you can last 32 minutes, you’ve got a shot to win.”

Wareham high scorers for Sunday’s game were senior forward Jovahn Thomas (29 points); freshman guard Dominic Mello (16 points); and senior guard Ashantay Taveres (14 points.)

The Vikings will return to the court for the first game of the Division 3 state tournament, time and location to be announced.
