The Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School boys varsity basketball team overcame both the flu and a chippy Somerset Berkley Regional High School squad to win going away by a score of 53-38 Friday night at the Sancy Pachico Gym in Oak Bluffs.
Senior Tim Roberts, with 16 points, and freshman Cole Houston, 15 points, led a second-half comeback that featured clingwrap defense to seal the win.
The Vineyarders (7-4, 4-1 in Eastern Athletic Conference (EAC) play) outscored the Raiders (5-6, 1-5 EAC) by a 32-15 margin.
Senior starters Matt Stone and Ben Poole did not play because of illness.
The Vineyarders next journey to Weston High School for a 5:30 game on Wednesday, Jan. 28.
