Unadilla Valley 65, Greene 57

GREENE – Greene had no defense for Unadilla Valley, and David Dufresne in particular, in the fourth quarter Friday night.

Dufresne, a 6-foot-1 sophomore, scored 15 of his game-high 28 points in the final quarter as UV stormed into the Midstate Athletic Conference title game.

“I was pretty happy with our defense, Dufresne just went off in the final quarter,” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “We tried man, we tried zone; he just made everything.”

It seemed like every UV player made everything during a 27-point final quarter. Aside from Dufresne bombing away from outside and slashing to the rim on the inside, Nick White buried a trifecta, and Nate Shackleton drove inside and canned a hoop over two larger Greene defenders.

To cap the game, UV was 10-for-12 from the foul line over the last two minutes. “We shot the ball pretty well, and we made our free throws,” said UV coach Matt Osborne. “That was the biggest difference from the first time we played (Greene).”
