The 6-foot-5 senior guard at Seneca Valley literally brings the game to a halt.
A Seneca Valley basketball player has something in common with basketball greats like Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jordan. On Saturday night, Easton Bazzoli threw down a dunk during an all-star game that crumbled the backboard to pieces, according to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. "Everybody said it's pretty awesome," Bazzoli told the Post-Gazette. "I thought it was pretty cool. It's not something a lot of people have done." The dunk happened during the Roundball Classic at Geneva College. With about a minute left in the Class AAAA vs. AAA game, the P-G reports that Bazzoli took a pass from New Castle's Antonio Rudolph and dunked the ball. The backboard shattered, the rim came down and the fourth and final game had to be stopped, or as the …

The Raiders will take on no. 1 New Castle after a commanding win over Upper St. Clair in the quarterfinals.
Just in time for March Madness, the Seneca Valley boys basketball team is heading to the final four. The Raiders defeated the no.4 seeded Upper St. Clair Panthers by a score of 44-34 in the WPIAL Class AAAA quarterfinal game played Saturday at North Allegheny. Upper St. Clair was scoreless until the 4:44 mark of the second quarter, according to the Post-Gazette. In fact, only six points were scored in the first quarter—all by Seneca Valley. By that time, students in the Raiders section already were chanting, "It's a shutout," the P-G reports. Seneca Valley’s high scorers for Saturday’s game were R.J. McCauley with 13 points and Easton Bazzoli with 10 points. Up next, the no. 12 seeded Raiders will take on no. 1 New Castle in the …

At the time of his death, 19-year-old Lagene Lawson was wanted on two arrest warrants, one of which was for aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person.
Driving a stolen car, Lagene Lawson was fleeing from a domestic dispute in Butler in the early morning hours of Aug. 4 when he sped through Adams Township and into Cranberry. There, using a handgun reported stolen, he ended his life in the Cranberry Commons shopping center. Lawson, 19, of New Castle fired a single bullet into his head, fatally wounding himself, according to a statement from Cranberry police. The car, which was still in motion when Lawson killed himself, crashed through the glass front entrance of the Lane Bryant store, causing extensive damage. “It was immediately apparent the driver was deceased and was found to have no signs of life,” Cranberry Sgt. Chuck Mascellino said in a statement. At the time of his death, Lawson …

Seneca Valley's girls basketball team showed its support for "Par for the Cure" at Monday night's game against New Castle.
The Seneca Valley and the New Castle girls basketball teams wore pink in their Monday night match-up at New Castle High School to support Par for the Cure, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research. New Castle grad Brian Esposito, a former golf pro, founded the group after his mother, Joann Esposito, was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in 2003. Today, Joann Esposito is a survivor. Since the organization was founded in 2005, it has raised more than $500,000 for breast cancer research. At Monday’s benefit game – which will not count against Seneca Valley’s 1-5 section record, but will be factored into its 5-8 overall mark – New Castle handed out 600 hot pink T-shirts to fans. According to Kara …

The Seneca Valley girls basketball lost the "Pink Out" game to New Castle, but they helped raise funds for breast cancer research.
It’s not often a team wins and loses all in one night. It was hard to tell the winner from the loser after the Seneca Valley girls basketball team lost a non-section game at New Castle, 52-41, Monday night. Maybe it was the 600 fans wearing or waving their pink T-shirts. Maybe it was the fact that an estimated crowd of more than 1,200 showed up at the New Castle gym to raise money for Par for the Cure,a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for breast cancer research that was founded by New Castle grad Brian Esposito after his mother, JoAnn Esposito, was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer. Maybe it was the rare sight of officials using pink whistles and players shooting a pink basketball. Whatever it was, positive …
