The Old Saybrook boys basketball team’s first game in 19 days was worth the wait. For the Rams, at least.
Aaron Tolve scored 23 points and Auggie Albert had a big night with 7 points and 9 rebounds in a 44-28 Shoreline Conference win over host Westbrook 44-28 on Tuesday night.
Tolve chipped in 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 steals.
“Aaron was tremendous tonight,” Rams coach Chris Perras said.
Because of postponements with two games, Old Saybrook was playing for just the second time since its Dec. 16 season-opening win over Hale-Ray.
Bran Naccarato, Joey Caslin and Jesse Whitney scored 8 points each for the Knights, who saw their two-game winning streak end.
