BUTLER TWP — Same results, different sources.

Butler’s boys and girls basketball teams completed regular season sweeps of Seneca Valley on Friday night in the Golden Tornado gym, the boys winning , 78-71, and the girls taking a 58-55 victory.

The offensive production in both games came from unexpected sources, however.

Sydney Patterson produced 12 points, nine assists , four rebounds and three steals for the Tornado girls, who won their fourth straight game. Colin Casteel scored a career-high 20 points and Ryan Porch added 17 for Butler in the boys win.

Butler 78, Seneca Valley 71 — The Tornado (13-4, 4-2) had a double-digit lead by early in the second quarter and led by as many as 20 (63-43) with 5:20 remaining before the Raiders’ furious comeback fell short.

Seneca Valley pulled with five points in the waning seconds before a pair of Porch free trows accounted for the final margin.

“We wanted to be smart down the stretch. I didn’t want to swallow the basketball, but I didn’t want us to run down and score in two seconds, either,” Butler coach Matt Clement said. “We had a couple of turnovers late and they hit some shots, but we were taking 20 seconds or so off the clock with each possession and that’s what we wanted.”

Casteel added four rebounds and a pair of steals to his 20 points. Porch had three assists to go with his 17. Braylon Littlejohn scored 19 points — hitting 10 of 11 free throws — added seven assists and three steals for Butler. Donovan Carney had 12 points and four assists.

Butler sank 23 of 42 shots from the floor, including 10 treys, and 22 of 27 from the foul line.

“They shot the ball so well tonight,” SV coach Kevin Trost said. “We knew we had to focus on Littlejohn and Carney, knowing their other guys are capable, but those other guys had big games for them.”

Clement was pleased with the way his team matched the Raiders’ physicality.

“That’s their game,” the Butler coach said. “We told our kids if we didn’t match that physicality tonight, they would wipe the floor with us. And we answered it. Colin Casteel and Ryan Porch played their best varsity basketball game tonight. So did Coleton Welter, Mac Schnur, Ayden Davis ... That’s what it took tonight and that’s what it’s gonna take moving forward.

“Our help-side defense made the difference in this game. That was lacking in our last two games and we worked hard on it in practice these last two days.”

Casteel said the defensive focus on Littlejohn and Carney “opened the court up for me to do some things.

“With Madden (Clement) out, who did so much for us offensively, we know we have to pick up the slack. We spread the ball around well in this game.”

Porch agreed.

“The openings were there and we took them,” Porch said. “When Seneca Valley is here ... we’ve been playing these guys since fourth grade ... We knew what to expect.”

Tyler Pepin led the Raiders (6-9, 2-4) with 22 points. Luke Lawson had 12 points, eight rebounds and four steals while Kai West and Connor Oros scored 10 points each.

“We did a good job late of extending the game and getting close,” Trost said. “We didn’t quit. They just beat us.”

Butler 58, Seneca Valley 55 — The game was tied 10 times and the lead switched hands on seven occasions. Butler (10-7, 4-2) never trailed in the fourth quarter — but it was close.

A Kelli Kovalick trey handed the Tornado a 54-47 lead with 5:18 to play, but the Raiders (4-13, 0-6) chipped away. A pair of Alison Sevin layups and one by Emerson Peffer cut the lead to 54-53 with 2:14 to play.

“Butler withstood our run,” SV coach Dorothea Epps said. “That’s what good teams do on their home floor and they have a good team this year.”

Hannah Aldridge sank a pair of free throws with 56.3 seconds left and two more with 29.5 seconds to go, extending the Tornado lead to 58-53. But SV’s Makayla Canty canned a corner jumper and the Raiders stole the ball with 12.5 seconds left.

Patterson came up with a steal of the inbounds pass and Butler held on for the win.

“I knew they were going to lob the ball deep because they needed the (3-point) shot,” Patterson said. “They run that inbounds play a lot and I knew what they were gonna do.

“They tried screening me out of the play, but I got my arm up and was able to get the ball.”

She was able to facilitate the Tornado offense as well. SV’s 6-foot-2 junior center, Sevin, was clogging up Amelia McMichael down low and Patterson produced some necessary offense. Kovalick did the same, scoring nine points.

“That girl did a good job on Amelia and we had trouble stopping her inside,” Butler coach Mark Maier said. “But it was good to get scoring from Sydney and Kelli tonight. We needed every one of those points.

“There’s 20 of us — 17 players and three coaches — and that’s what it takes to win these games.

Justine Forbes paced Butler with 19 points after being held scoreless in the first quarter. She had five steals as well. McMichael had 14 points and four rebounds.

Sevin led Seneca Valley with 22 points and five rebounds, Gracie Cato had eight points and four assists, but the Raiders lost for the eighth time in nine games.

“We have a young group, but our girls played hard for four quarters,” Epps said. “I’m proud of them.”
