RIDGEFIELD — The matchup between the Stamford and Ridgefield boys basketball teams featured a pair of offenses capable of lighting up the scoreboard, and it played out that way for the opening eight minutes as the Tigers built a narrow 21-15 lead after one quarter.
But then the Black Knights — who scored 101 points in a season-opening win — went cold. Very cold. ‘Couldn’t buy a bucket’ cold.
Ridgefield’s stifling defense held Stamford without a basket for the first seven minutes of the second quarter, steadily built a lead and prevailed 71-46 on Friday night. James St. Pierre scored 31 points for the Tigers (3-0), who stayed unbeaten and perhaps made a statement with the rout.
