WESTFIELD – There is no “I” in team, but there is in Isiah Headley.
Headley, the Westfield High point guard who suffered a season-ending injury during the 2012-13 boys’ basketball season, rejoined the team for the first time Tuesday night to help lead a truly balanced attack in the Bombers’ 61-42 win over Sci-Tech.
Headley was one of four Westfield players to notch eight points in the victory. The others were John O’Brien, Alex Brown, and Manny Golob. Colin Dunn led the Bombers with 13 points. Richard Barnett had nine.
Westfield led 33-21 at the half before Sci-Tech pulled to within six points with a brief offensive spurt in the third quarter. The Bombers were perfect from the foul line in the fourth quarter, converting 9-of-9 from the free throw stripe.
“We played pretty well down the stretch,” Westfield coach Bill Daley said.
The Bombers next play at Amherst on Monday.
