The Barrington High School boys basketball team, the number one seed in the open state tournament, got off to a red hot start as Caleb Satisfield scored 15 and Colin McDermott 11, with each player burying three three-pointers to ignite the Eagles’ to a 30-17 lead over the Division III champions and 16 seed Ponaganset after the first quarter.  

The home team used their pressure defense to extend their lead to 50-25 at halftime, on their way to a 80-55 victory over the Chieftains in a Sweet Sixteen matchup.  

McDermott scored 19 of his game high 28 points in the first half and Satisfield scored 20 of his 23 points over the first two quarters. McDermott finished with eight made three pointers.  

Ryan Rigamonti did a nice job of passing out of double teams, which led to open shots for his teammates. Rigamonti finished with eight points. Alex Anderson added six, while Ryan Realejo netted five points. Colin Appleyard and Brady White each scored four, while James Palmieri rounded out the scoring with two.

The Eagles swished 12 three-pointers on the night.

Barrington improved to 21-4 overall, including 12-0 at home and will host the 8 seeded Mt. Hope on Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in an Elite Eight matchup, with the winner earning a trip to the Ryan Center and a ticket to the open state tournament final four.
