Mount Markham 50, Sherburne-Earlville 47
SHERBURNE – Brad Niederlander scored six points in the last quarter for the Mustangs, who turned back the Marauders’ rally in the fourth quarter.
S-E trailed by eight entering the last stanza, and tied the game briefly at 42-42 behind five points apiece from Sean Boise and Ethan Johnson. Boise had a would-be tying layup nullified in the final minute due to a charging call.
“We turned it over more in this game than we have been doing,” said S-E coach Kevin Vibbard. “We weren’t getting as many shots off in the first three quarters.”
