The Hall Titans made a resounding statement Thursday night, dominating crosstown rival Conard Red Wolves 69-34 at home in a matchup that left little doubt from the opening tip.

Entering the contest at 8-2, Hall asserted its experience and depth against a Conard squad that came in at 4-5, controlling the game on both ends of the floor and turning the rivalry matchup into a decisive victory.

Hall set the tone immediately, racing out to a commanding 22-3 lead by the end of the first period. The Titans opened the scoring when a rebound by Maxwell St. Arromand led to a 3-pointer from Isaiah Gaston. Moments later, Aiden Delaney, playing in his first game back from injury, added a 2-point basket to extend the early lead.

Conard got on the board at the free-throw line when Amir Hughes converted one following a foul by St. Arromand. Hall quickly responded as Gaston secured a rebound and finished through contact for an and-one to make it 7-1. Eli Kramer followed with a defensive breakup, a layup, and a drawn foul to push the advantage to 10-1.

Delaney continued his strong return with another layup and an additional foul to make it 13-1. Kramer added another basket to extend the lead to 15-1 before Delaney knocked down a three-pointer to stretch the margin to 18-1. St. Arromand capped the dominant opening quarter with a layup, firmly establishing Hall’s control.

The second period mirrored the first, as Hall continued to overwhelm Conard on both ends of the floor. Delaney connected on another 3-pointer, Gaston added a two-point basket, and layups from Delaney, St. Arromand, and Kramer fueled the offense. Defensively, the Titans remained sharp, with multiple breakups from St. Arromand and Gaston, taking a 37-15 lead into halftime.

Delaney led all scorers with 23 points, including four 3-pointers, in an impressive return to the lineup. Gaston added 12 points as Hall capped off a dominant performance in the rivalry matchup.

Conard will travel to Plainfield on Saturday and is scheduled to host Cromwell on Monday and Simsbury on Tuesday.
