PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth High School varsity boys’ basketball team won one and lost one in the two-day Tiverton Holiday Tournament last week.

On Thursday, Dec. 26, the Division II Patriots downed Westport by a score of 86-59.

Benny Hurd led his team with 15 points and six assists. Robbie Yates scored 14 points, and Justin Parsons and Luke Hyder added 9 apiece.

The second night, Portsmouth lost to North Kingstown, 66-57, in a game that was much closer than the final score indicated. The Patriots led much of the first half and was behind by only a point — 33-32 — going into the break.

Hurd was again the high-scorer for his team, with 17 points Parsons had 15 and Tyree Evans added 7.
