Stoughton beat OA 68-42 Tuesday evening in Brockton in a Division 2 South Sectional semifinal contest. The Black Knights now advance to play Hopkinton in the Sectional finals on Saturday.
At the end of a Sunday afternoon practice on March 4, Stoughton head coach John Gallivan talked to his team about the importance of making big plays in key moments. If Stoughton was able to do this Tuesday against Oliver Ames, the Black Knights would win. But if the team faltered, the players would be turning in their uniforms and the season would end. The Black Knights responded with perhaps their most dominating victory of the season.

Tigers put together a complete game effort to out-battle the Davenport Division leading Black Knights.
Oliver Ames boys' basketball coach Don Byron knew that to beat the 13-1 Stoughton Black Knights, the Tigers would have to play well in all phases of the game. His team didn't miss a beat. Offensively, defensively, on the glass and from the free-throw line, everything clicked for the Tigers in their 75-67 Davenport Division win Tuesday at Oliver Ames High School on the Tigers’ Senior Night. With the win, OA improved to 10-5 (4-2 Davenport) and qualified for the MIAA tournament. The win snapped OA’s four game losing streak to Stoughton, which dated back to the 2009-2010 season.
