PORT WASHINGTON - Port Washington's Purple Riders (3-16) ended their season here Saturday night, but not in a successful manner. The Riders dropped a 65-64 decision to invading Malvern. It was the giant-sized job by 5-5 Bill Phillips which kept his team in the game. The mite canned 36 points. In a great come-from-behind effort, Coach Tom Davie's charges moved from a 58-50 deficit in the last two minutes of play to lead 64-62 with only 17 seconds remaining. Phillips fouled out and the infraction resulted in Malvern getting a bucket and then a charity toss for the victory. The Port Washington Reserves (5-14) however beat the Malvern Reserves by a wide margin 58-30.
