Will Erickson led Gardner with 23 points while Cam Gamache added 13, and their scoring helped the Wildcats withstand BMVT’s late charge. For Blackstone-Millville, Karson Cournoyer paced the attack with 17 points, and Jackson Dunton added 15; Jackson’s ability to create looks and Cournoyer’s knack for finishing kept the Chargers within striking distance.
The defeat drops Blackstone-Millville to 5-6, marking three losses in the last four games. The Chargers will need to tighten execution on both ends when they host a tough Blackstone Valley Beavers squad tonight at 6:30 p.m. Oxford’s momentum and BVT’s balanced depth make the coming matchup a true measuring stick; the Chargers will have to convert in late-game situations and get stronger support scoring to reverse this skid.
