Duvall's MVP performance powers New Oxford


New Oxford took the trophy at the Colonial Holiday basketball tournament, marking the first time their seniors won the event.

The Colonials beat York County Tech 66-42 in the championship game.

Devon Duvall won tournament MVP, scoring 46 points in two games.

"I'm a senior, and this is the first big tournament we've won," Duvall said. "It's big to hear my name called afterward, it's very heartwarming."

New Oxford used a 15-2 run in the second quarter to blow the game open. John Wessel and Zach Rudisill hit 3-pointers during the run, and Duvall had his signature moment with two three-point plays.

For his first three point play, Duvall recieved the ball at the free throw line and spun to his right before dropping a one-hander from 10 feet into the basket.

He capped the run by snaring his own miss under the basket and laying it in with contact for a 29-10 lead with 2:47 to go until half.

Duvall, who dished out a team-high six assists on Tuesday, added three assists on Wednesay, as New Oxford displayed their full arsenal with a bevy of three point shots.

"With all the attention Devon draws, the other four guys are often open," New Oxford head coach Sean Bair said. "It's great, and I love that other coaches get to see those box scores and know they have to stay home on our shooters."

Getting the assist totals started, Duvall flipped a two-foot toss back to Trevor Floyd for a 3-pointer with 2:50 to play in the first quarter.

He kicked out from the post for a corner 3 by Floyd with 1:43 to go until half, and added one more assist in the fourth.

Wessel and Waynesboro's Cameron Keck made the all-tournament team, with Quinton Nace of Bermudian Springs and Ty Brown of York County Tech rounding out the squad.

Waynesboro's Kyle Hoffman earned the hustle award.

York County Tech bested Bermudian in the third place game, 41-38.

It is Tech's second win over the Eagles this year, with the victories coming by a combined eight points.

The Eagles led 38-31 after Tony Petrosky's baseline jumper with 5:08 to go in the game.

Tech finished the game on a 10-0 run.

Austin Wehler sealed the win with a breakaway layup in the final seconds after forcing the ball handler into the pressure of Luis DeLeon, who made the steal.

"That comes from communication," Wehler said. "You have to see where your teammate is putting his defense and get in front."

"After a hard loss, we came out and played hard," DeLeon said.
