Greene 50, Seton Catholic Central 47

BINGHAMTON – Greene made amends quickly.

A day removed from a blowout loss to Norwich in its Stop DWI Holiday Classic opener, Greene used a strong fourth quarter to defeat Seton Catholic Central in the Regional Division II consolation game.

Zach Wentlent went 5-for-5 from the charity stripe in the last quarter, had seven points over those last eight minutes, and finished with 18 to lead his club. “I was really happy how we came back,” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “We settled down to have some good possessions at the end of the fourth quarter.”
