Montville — De'Andre Williams and Max Lee each hit a pair of 3-pointers during an explosive first quarter that lifted fifth-ranked St. Bernard to a 71-50 victory over No. 12 Wolcott in the second round of the CIAC Division IV boys' basketball tournament on Wednesday night.

The Saints (21-4) built a 21-4 lead in the first eight minutes and were never threatened. They will visit No. 4 New Canaan, a 55-27 winner over No. 13 Griswold, in Friday's quarterfinals at 7 p.m.

Williams finished with a game-high 21 points, including five 3-pointers, all in the first half for St. Bernard while Lee added 18 (three 3-pointers), Joe Beltran 15 and Quincy Francois 12.

Chris Harris scored 19 points for Wolcott.

In other games:

• RJ Parrilla had 13 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals as eighth-ranked Stonington edged No. 9 Old Saybrook 55-49 in overtime in the Division IV second round.

The Bears (19-6) will host No. 16 St. Joseph (13-10) in Friday’s quarterfinals at 7 p.m. The Cadets knocked top-seeded and previously unbeaten Cromwell 74-58.

“We’re just so ecstatic to be in the state quarterfinals,” Stonington head coach John Luzzi said. “It’s awesome.”

The Bears trailed 29-20 at halftime, but switched defenses in the second half, rallied, and actually missed a lay-up at the buzzer that would have won the game in regulation.

“We had to switch from man-to-man to a 1-3-1, and it really kind of threw off their rhythm,” Luzzi said. “We battled. We didn’t have a good shooting night, but we got a lot of steals with the 1-3-1 and were able to claw back.”

Zach Scott had 13 points and seven rebounds, Jacob Geary had 10 points and eight rebounds, and Cooper Wall made three 3-pointers and scored nine for Stonington.

Davis Brown scored 21 for the Rams (16-7) and Shane Henderson scored 18.
