Caelin Peters and his Plymouth-Whitemarsh Colonials Basketball teammates were in what appeared to be an extremely favorable situation and a chance to pocket a fairly comfortable result turned into a really hairy finish that needed someone to pull on the cape late and play hero.
Of course, that’s hardly unfamiliar territory for Jim Donofrio’s Colonials.
Locked in yet another tight scrape that wasn’t decided until the closing seconds, Plymouth-Whitemarsh survived once again as Cheo Houston buried an all-or-nothing 3-pointer off a falling Danny Cooper dish with just over a second to go to push the Colonials past fast-closing Constitution 58-57 at Archbishop Wood.
Ish Horn paced the Colonials with 15 points, while Houston and Ahmin Williams checked in with 11 as a resourceful PW side won for the fourth time in as many tries by seven points or fewer. Williams also grabbed 11 boards before fouling out.
