Local roundup: Old Lyme boys advance to Class S second round

Old Lyme — Matti Fuller had 17 points as No. 5 Old Lyme High School used a strong second half to put away No. 28 Canton Tuesday, 55-38, in a CIAC Class S first round boys' basketball game.

Andrew Tyrol scored 13 for the Wildcats (18-6), who will play host to No. 12 Nonnewaug of Woodbury in Thursday's second round (7 p.m.)

Old Lyme outscored the Bulldogs in the second half, 28-14.

"We struggled a bit in the first half," Wildcats' coach Kirk Kaczor said. "We weren't hitting out shots, and they were scrappy and tough defenders.

"We were up only 27-24, but we then kind of took control in the third and fourth quarter."

Patrick Sullivan had 18 points for Canton (8-13).

• Two other local schools were eliminated in Class S first-round play. St. Bernard, the No. 24 seed, was beaten at No. 9 Woodland 63-60 while No. 29 Grasso Tech lost at No. 4 Terryville 83-45.
