LAURENS – The Raiders gained a split at the Laurens Tournament edging Tri-Valley League rival Morris in the consolation game.
The final score was much closer than the flow of the contest through three quarters.
The Raiders extended their lead to 15 points, 29-14, with one quarter to play. “We played some great defense the first three quarters,” said Raiders coach Jim Johnson, who returns all of last year’s starting lineup. “They scored 12 in a row...we were able to get some defensive stops and hang on.”
Leading scorer Tanya Barnes had 14 points for G-MU (1-1), and made two free throws in the final 30 seconds to sew up the victory.
G-MU fell to the defending sectional champion Rams by 10 points in Friday’s opening-round game.
Renee Craft scored a game-high 22 points for South Kortright, who built the bulk of their 10-point margin of victory in the opening half.
Barnes finished with 17 points to lead G-MU, who host Otselic Valley tonight.

Greene Tournament
Chenango Forks 60, Greene 45
Greene 51, Harpursville 35
GREENE – Chenango Forks used a late first-quarter/early second quarter surge to turn a three-point deficit into a seven-point lead, and the Blue Devils maintained their advantage to win the Greene Tip-Off Tournament title on Saturday.
Two baskets at the end of the first quarter gave the Blue Devils a 12-11 lead. Over the first three minutes of the second quarter, Corey Bruet, Casey Redfern, and Dan Molter hit three balls as the lead grew to 23-16.
“They were getting good looks at the basket and knocking shots down,” said Greene coach Jeff Paske. “We got away from our game plan (to get the ball inside), and weren’t hitting outside shots. We did a better job of that in the second half, but didn’t get enough defensive stops.”
Alex Driscoll led Greene with 15 points, and all-tournament pick Mark McDermott added 11.
McDermott had his best varsity game in Friday’s opening-round game. The senior forward finished with 20 points and 14 boards in a 16-point win over Harpursville.
The Trojans extended a six-point lead at the half to 18 shutting out the Hornets, 12-0, in the third quarter. “That’s the first time (shutting out a team in a quarter) that is happened in my 10 years,” Paske said. “We mixed up our defenses in the third quarter, and it threw them for a loop.”
Scott Gorton added 10 points for Greene, who host Oxford on Tuesday.
Chenango Forks: Pat Creagh, 6 2-3-14; Matt LeVasseur, 0; Andy Krolczyk, 0 0-2-0; Derek Foster, 1 0-0-2; Corey Bruet, 6 0-0-14; Steve VanKuren, 0 2-2-2; Casey Redfern, 6-2-2-15; Dan Molter, 3 0-0-7; Corey Gildea, 2 2-3-6. Totals: 24 8-12-60.
