ONONDAGA – Sherburne-Earlville’s Noah Posson went to the free throw line with 37 seconds remaining in the contest with the game tied between the Marauders and their opponent, the Onondaga Central Tigers. Posson thrived under the pressure, hitting both shots at the stripe to give S-E a two point lead late in the contest.

In a crowd of players with 15 seconds left, Posson pulled down a rebound on the defense end of the floor, sealing the deal for Sherburne-Earlville to pick up the 64-62 win.

“We didn’t play our best,” said S-E’s head coach Kevin Vibbard, “but we were able to pull out the win.”

The Marauders went into the intermission with a four point lead after the first two quarters of play were back and forth basketball. Helping Sherburne-Earlville take the small advantage at the break was their 16 point second quarter which saw five different players score a basket.
