The last time the West Haven and Jonathan Law basketball teams squared off, the Westies got off to a quick start, only to see Law rebound to force a thriller in which West Haven handed Law its first defeat of the year.
West Haven, which won its second straight contest and seventh game in its last eight decisions, improved to 11-6 on the year after getting off to a 15-2 first quarter lead and never looking back.
Quannel Straughter, who finished with a game-high 24 points, knocked down three 3-pointers in the opening quarter and finished with ten of his team’s 15 first quarter points. The Westies pressured from the start and held Law to just a first quarter field goal by Jon Vitale.
