While the Maury girls basketball lost a close contest, Maury’s boys won Tuesday night.

Maury’s girls basketball lost 33-32 to Warwick and Maury’s boys defeated Granby 46-41, meaning the boys team will advance in regionals.

Despite a stellar comeback effort in the second half, especially from senior Camori Veal, sophomore Nyla Brown, and freshman Zoe Redel, the Lady Commodores fell short.

Veal led Maury with eight points. Redel contributed seven. Brown and senior Arianna Owens added six.

The Maury boys, however, advanced. Senior Adrean “Baby A” Newton led all scorers with 24 points, including 11-out of-15 from the charity stripe. Junior Kyree Demiel also scored 12.

The Maury Commodores will play King’s Fork at Norview High School Feb. 26.
