Plymouth Whitemarsh battled back thanks to six points from Peters and five from Zuri Jerman to tie the game at 14 after eight minutes.
The second quarter was another tight one. Peters hit an early three to give Plymouth Whitemarsh their first lead, 17-14. The visitors opened up a six-point edge, 22-16, halfway through the frame, but Wissahickon responded, scoring seven straight to go ahead, 23-22. The rivals traded leads before Wissahickon took a 27-26 lead into halftime.
The third quarter was more of the same. Harrison Williams hit a three-pointer at the buzzer to send Wissahickon to the fourth ahead 45-40.

Peters Leads Plymouth Whitemarsh to Big Victory
|
Caelin Peters emerged from the Plymouth Whitemarsh locker room wearing a simple red Nike hoodie with the words “Just Do It” across the front.
A simple mantra but one Peters is trying to fully embrace over the second half of the season as the senior tries to turn the Colonials’ season around and make a push for the postseason. Injuries and the mental challenge of taking over as the guy at PW held Peters back earlier, but he feels like that corner has been turned.
Peters just did it, hitting the floor looking for a big night and finishing with 33 points as PW defeated visiting Upper Moreland 76-33.
“I felt like I had a really good couple of practices the last few days, worked out with one of our assistants yesterday to get shots up and help me get that rhythm back,” Peters said. “I came in with the mindset I was going to drop 30 today.”
