S-E 53, Ilion 23

ILION – Sherburne-Earlville’s sterling defensive effort Thursday night helped it atone for a loss to Ilion in last year’s sectional semifinals.

“They ended our season last year, so that was definitely on our minds when we played tonight,” said S-E coach Kevin Vibbard. “We shut them down in every way; there was some serious defense being played.”

Ilion was held without a point from the midway point of the first quarter until the two-minute mark of the second, a 10 1/2-minute stretch in which S-E rattled off 22 straight points.

Gabe Fowler canned four three balls and had all 16 of his points at the break leading the Marauders (3-0) to a 32-8 lead.

Wilson Rose added 15 in the win. “It was just outstanding man-to-man defense, and everyone that came into the game played with that same level of intensity,” Vibbard said.
