The Tilton School boys varsity basketball team defeated Hargrave Military Academy last night to win the National Prep Championship last night. Lowell resident and Uuniversity of Connecticut-bound big man Alex Oriakhi and point guard Scott Tavares-Taylor, who signed a letter of intent in February to attend UMass Lowell next year, were among the key players for the Rams.

Tilton captured it's second straight New England Prep School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class B championship on Friday night, and the Rams followed that up with victories over South Kent (Conn.), NEPSAC Class A champion Bridgton Academy (Maine) and Hargrave Military Academy (Va.) in games on Monday and Tuesday in the National Prep Championship at Endicott College sponsored by Reebok Basketball.
