PORTSMOUTH — After honoring their late friend Connor Peckham and celebrating its older plays for senior night, the Patriots unified basketball team got down to business versus Tiverton on Wednesday.

Portsmouth put on a clinic in its last home game of the season, with Chris Sherwood and Henry Banks draining several 3s apiece and Jack Ross scoring several times from mid-range. 

The Patriots also demonstrated its strength inside, with Zach Pierce dominating the boards.

Portsmouth led at halftime 33-20 and got stronger as the game went on, winning in decisive fashion, 52-30.
