Harpursville 62, B-G 41
BAINBRIDGE – Harpursville erupted early in the third quarter, and sealed a season sweep of the Bobcats – and likely secured a division title – Saturday afternoon.
Harpursville hit its first four shots in the second half, and started the quarter on a 14-1 run to move out to a 40-28 lead. Hannah Kimmel scored 12 of her game-high 20 points in the third quarter.
“They got on a good run and we went in the opposite direction,” said B-G coach Bob Conway. “We never seemed to get back on track.”
Alycia Kimmel added 16 points for Harpursville, who are unbeaten in division play and hold a two-game lead over B-G with four games left.
Dani Conway led B-G with 14 points.

S-E 49, Otselic Valley 27
Poland 39, Otselic Valley 19
SOUTH OTSELIC – Otselic Valley dropped back-to-back games Friday and Saturday falling to S-E at home on Friday, and at Poland Saturday afternoon.
S-E (12-4) had 11 points from Caitylnn Adams and 10 markers from Bridget Irwin. The Marauders led 31-6 at halftime.
“Our guards were the only players that scored,” said OV coach Ron Graham. “They were too big and quick inside, and shut down any inside play.”
Heather Eaton scored 12 points and Melinda Schutt nine for OV – all on three-point shots.
Saturday, Poland defeated the Vikings for the second time in one week’s time. OV made just 1-of-25 shot attempts (4 percent) in the first half, and trailed 23-4.
“It’s an hour and a half bus ride to Poland, and I don’t think we showed up in the first half,” Graham said.
The Vikings play at New York Mills tonight.

Unadilla Valley 50, Delhi 39
NEW BERLIN – Delhi focused much of its defensive attention on UV’s leading scorer, Hannah Johnson. The rest of the Storm players made the Bulldogs pay.
Four UV players had at least eight points led by Melissa Friedel’s 10-point evening, as the Storm ended a five-game losing streak.
UV had struggled in its previous losses falling behind at halftime, often by double digits. “It was a whole different talk at halftime,” said UV coach Brandi Backus.
Delhi played a box-and-one defense, with the “one” guarding Johnson all over the floor. Johnson still scored nine points to go with 11 rebounds, and Emily Sugar along with Charlie Weidman notched eight-point evenings. Sugar also pocketed five steals. “This was the most balanced scoring we’ve had all season. Everybody stepped up their play,” Backus said.
UV (4-10) is at Sidney tonight.
