A tremendous fourth quarter performance by Val Temin and Dan Trentsch led the Big Blue to a conference victory over Peabody.
Val Temin had three three-pointers in the fourth quarter, leading his team to a strong, defensive-minded 45-39 win over the Peabody Tanners on Tuesday night. After ending the third quarter leading 31-30, the Big Blue began the fourth quarter on an 11-2 run that lasted over five minutes, thanks to Temin’s shooting and a John King layup. Although Peabody responded with a three of its own with 2:52 left which brought the Tanners within seven points, Dan Trentsch solidified the victory for Swampscott with three free throws in the final two minutes. Temin and Trentsch both played with an incredible sense of urgency. While Temin racked up a myriad of boards down low, Trentsch was able to steal the ball on passes made on the perimeter. Both …

Danny Trentsch, Stephen Bowers, and Chad Nelson led the Big Blue to a strong victory over Gloucester.
It took a wake-up call from the Gloucester Fishermen offense for Swampscott’s true intensity to arrive. After trailing by 12 in the second quarter, the Big Blue executed on offense in the second half and defeated the Fishermen, 70-65, thanks to stellar offensive play from co-captains Danny Trentsch and Stephen Bowers and ferocity down low from Chad Nelson. The Big Blue fell behind 24-12 with 7:20 left in the second quarter after leading for the first five minutes of the game. But, Gloucester’s lead would only diminish from that point. A Val Temin basket-and-foul made it a 24-17 game with five minutes before halftime, and a Steven Scaglione jumper brought the game within one point for Swampscott with 1:15 left in the second quarter. In …

The Big Blue defeated Danvers at home.
Victory one for first-year coach Abrom Roberts's Big Blue girls basketball team came at home this week against Danvers. The girls played solid team defense, helping each other in their 2-3 zone and holding the Falcons to 32 points. Led by senior Ara Talkov, the Blue defeated the Falcons 42-32 on Tuesday. Ara showed leadership, taking over the game offensively and by hitting the glass and grabbing rebounds, the coach said. Power forward Rachel Moran also rebounded well and drilled a nice 3-pointer, Roberts said. A week earlier, the Blue lost a close one in their opener, on the road, against Winthrop, 31-28. Again they played solid team defense, the coach said. Friday's scheduled freshmen, jv and varsity games at Gloucester were postponed …

The Big Blue rolled in their home opener.
The Winthrop Vikings have never been an easy matchup for the Big Blue. Since the 2007-08 basketball season, the Vikings have defeated Swampscott nine out of the ten times the two played, and have won the last eight meetings against Swampscott. However, the Big Blue’s fast start in the first quarter propelled them to a 66-53 victory over Winthrop, throwing the Vikings’ winning streak against the Blue out the window. Swampscott went on a 17-5 run in the first eight minutes of action, and did not stop until the final buzzer sounded. Thanks to a great performance by John King, Stephen Bowers, and Val Temin on offense, Swampscott dominated on the offensive side. When King wasn’t open for a midrange jump shot, he found Bowers crashing inside. …
