BOYS BASKETBALL: Spring-Ford loses heartbreaker to Penncrest in district opener

By James Boyle

MIDDLETOWN — With time running out in the fourth quarter and the ball in Spring-Ford’s possession, Rahmi Halaby withstood a charge and converted on one of his free throws as Penncrest survived, 49-47, at home to advance past the first round of the District 1 AAAA playoffs.
“We did just enough to get by, just enough to get by,” said Halaby. “We played hard the whole game, and we did what we needed to do.”
Halaby, who spent as much time on the bench as he did on the court because of foul trouble, went 1-2 from the foul-line following the charge against Spring-Ford to give the Lions (15-7, 9-7) a four-point lead and clinch a spot in the next round.
