CANTON There is something painfully beautiful about the slow scourge the Green High School boys basketball team can inflict on opponents with its patient style and skilled backcourt.
But here’s the thing: The Bulldogs must seize a sufficient lead before that can happen.
It took a while Thursday thanks to a hectic first half and a scrappy bunch from Boardman, but Green eventually got there. A much more disciplined, decisive Bulldogs squad emerged from the locker room and owned the second half, beating Boardman 61-47 in this Canton Division I district semifinal at Memorial Civic Center.
