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).

B-G 54, Greene 51 (OT)

BAINBRIDGE – After forcing a shot-clock violation late in the game, B-G’s Kenny Pixley made a save of a full-court pass that found the hands of Toby Shields for the tying basket to force overtime.

In the extra period, the Trojans’ Mike Porter scored in the first 10 seconds of overtime – his team’s only points – and Willie McGinnis keyed an opening win for the Bobcats scoring the tying basket en route to a 19-point, 10-rebound game.

“Our starting lineup played great defense the whole game, and we held them without a basket the first 6 1/2 minutes of the game,” said B-G coach Ben Nelson. “They just played the night before, and I’m sure that helped us.”

Greene erased a nine-point first quarter shortfall as the Bobcats’ McGinnis was on the bench with foul trouble. Porter had 13 points for Greene, who fell to 2-2.

The Bobcats play in a three-game tournament Friday through Saturday in New York City.

S-E 71, Hamilton 43

SHERBURNE – The S-E reserves held the fort with leading scorers Wilson Rose and Jon Pinney on the bench, and the Rose-Pinney combination returned with points aplenty in the third quarter in the Marauders’ win Tuesday.

Pinney and Rose took a seat on the bench most of the second quarter, and in their stead, head coach Kevin Vibbard praised the play of bench insertions Tom Niles, Caleb Johnson, and Garrett Porack. “We got a lot of good minutes out of those guys,” Vibbard said.

Pinney and Rose combined for all 21 of S-E’s points in the third quarter turning a six-point lead into a 19-point margin. “We talked about our lack of defensive intensity during halftime, and we started the third quarter on a 14-0 run,” Vibbard added.

Rose led with 23 points and Pinney had 18..

B-G 68, Greene 38

BAINBRIDGE – A Section IV semifinalist a year ago, B-G may be poised for another run at a sectional title after routing Greene Tuesday in what has long been a competitive local rivalry.

Nicole Conway, Jen Patten, and Mariah Schaeffer combined for 54 points to pace the Bobcats in their first outing of the season. Conway had 19, Schaeffer 18, and Patten 17. “I thought we played extremely well defensively, and they didn’t get a lot of good looks at the basket,” said B-G coach Bob Conway. “They closed the lead on us in the second quarter, but Patten and Conway hit back-to-back three-pointers, and we kind of crept away with the lead after that.”
