Unadilla Valley 43, Oxford 39

OXFORD – Juston Parks had 16 points for Unadilla Valley, and junior guard Mason Wyman hit two free throws in the final 15 seconds to seal the Storm’s first win of the season.

Oxford, down 41-39, forced a five-second violation with 23 seconds left to earn an opportunity to tie the game. The Blackhawks, plagued by turnovers throughout the game, had one more critical miscue that led to Wyman’s decisive points. “We continue to struggle with our offense,” said Oxford coach Tim Davis, whose club has scored 40, 40, and 39 points in its first three games. “We’re missing some easy baskets and turning it over too much. We forced a lot of turnovers tonight, and we didn’t capitalize.”

Ben Burdick scored 15 points to lead Oxford (0-3).
