For the second game in a row, Lake Placid’s boys rolled to a big lead at halftime. After building up a 28-2 edge at intermission in their opening night win over Chazy, the Blue Bombers grabbed a 23-12 lead over Knights after one quarter of play, and then held Seton Catholic to just a single point in the second period to while taking a 31-13 advantage at the half.
