Bench players give Murphy a lift in win over Cascade

EVERETT — With his team behind by 12 coming out of the first half, Archbishop Murphy boys basketball coach Jerry Zander decided to turn to his bench in the third quarter.

It delivered.

Devon Fleming hit three 3-pointers in the third period to help Archbishop Murphy storm back and take a 75-69 non-conference victory over visiting Cascade.

“The bench guys were huge tonight: Devon (Fleming), Brendan Sherrer, Nate Hards … They stepped it up,” Zander said.

Fleming finished with 13 points, Hards hit one 3-pointer and finished with four points and Sherrer chipped in six points.

Archbishop Murphy (2-0) also received a significant lift from junior power forward JJ Quinlan, who sank eight free throws in the fourth quarter to preserve the Wildcats’ lead. Quinlan finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Chris McGrath led Cascade with 19 points and three 3-pointers.

“McGrath did everything for them,” Zander said. “He hit shots with our guys all over him.”

Matt Reading also chipped in 12 points for Cascade.
