ORISKANY — Otselic Valley's run to the Section III playoffs ended with a first-round tournament exit as Oriskany's first half offense put the Vikes on their heels from    the outset.

Ty Zizzi was 3-for-3 from behind the three-point arc in the opening half, and Oriskany made six 3s in the opening two quarters to compile a 41-12 lead.

"This was a great season for the boys," said OV coach Jake Preston. "It's been seven years since we made sections, and these boys earned it winning so many close games to make it happen."

Braeden Davis scored 22 points to lead OV (12-9).
