The Middlesex High School (MHS) Charger varsity basketball team’s 2024-2025 season ended Wednesday, Feb. 26, as the Lancaster Red Devils crushed the Chargers, 67-54, in the semi-finals of the Region A tournament in the John S. Clements Memorial Gymnasium at MHS.

The Red Devils came out scrapping on defense, causing eight Charger turnovers in the first quarter and directing the offense and defense flow of the contest throughout the rest of the game.

Middlesex had but one moment of hope when in the fourth quarter the Chargers outscored the Red Devils, 21-14, and at one point brought the score to within 9 points. The Lancaster coach, however, called a timeout and the Red Devils slowed the game down, scored 2 points on the next offensive possession and never looked back.
