The Panthers opened strong with four-unanswered points from Alleyne-Washington and McDonald to prompt a quick Lehman timeout just 55 seconds into second-half play.  William Feldman's trey followed by Isaiah Geathers' three-point play tied the game at 37 for Lehman with 17:14 showing on the clock.  Stanley Baker sparked a 13-0 run with a layup at 16:53 to push Old Westbury's lead back up to double-digits (50-37).  After being held scoreless over a stretch of 6:29, Haboosh dropped in a pair of layups and Xavier Boyd hit back-to-back triples to make it a nine-point game (56-47) with 7:54 left.  McDonald answered with six-straight points to stretch Old Westbury's lead back to 15 (62-47) at 6:39.  Old Westbury played with a double-digit lead for the final 7:33 and extended the margin to a game-high 20 points (69-49) with 4:07 remaining.
