The MacArthur varsity boys basketball team used a pair of stifling defensive efforts to improve to 4-2 in league play and move closer to clinching the program’s first post-season berth since the 2011-12 season.
The Generals held host Mepham to nine first-half points en route to a 53-32 victory on Jan. 8. Two days later, MacArthur held Long Beach scoreless for the game’s opening nine
minutes, 59 seconds en route to a 52-40 win at Memorial.
