Patrick O’Connell’s 13 points and clutch shooting by Davionne Price rallied Delhi to a 49-42 non-league boys basketball victory at Worcester on Monday.

Coming off a timeout and trailing, 37-29, late in the third quarter, Delhi went on a 7-0 run sparked by a three-pointer from Price. The Bulldogs (5-2) took the lead for good in the fourth quarter _ at 41-40 _ on Price’s second three-pointer.

"We just couldn’t do anything right," Worcester coach Jim Kenyon said of his team’s performance in the fourth quarter, when the Wolverines (2-1) were outscored, 13-5. "I think when they got ahead of us, we got a little jittery.

"We led the whole game, but in the fourth quarter, we didn’t execute very well," Kenyon continued. "They extended their zone defense a little bit, and that matchup zone gave us some trouble. We missed some layups and easy baskets that were big baskets."

Lance Hunt finished with a game-high 14 points to pace Worcester, which plays Jefferson in the first round of the Davenport Tournament at 5:30 p.m. Thursday.
