SHERBURNE – After getting doubled up by Cortland in Friday’s opening-round game, the Marauders bounced back to place third in their own tournament topping UV by two-dozen points Saturday afternoon.
All-tournament selection Austin Jasper led three S-E players in double figures scoring 18 points, Julienne Alsheimer came off the bench to pour in 13, and Mick Khoury scored 12. “A lot of our offense came off of our defense, especially the second and third quarters,” said S-E coach Kevin Vibbard. “It was also nice to see the offensive balance.”
Cortland, a Class A finalist in Section III last year, used a substantial size advantage to dominate the interior in Friday’s opening-round win over S-E. Tourney MVP Zach Whelan scored 11 points as did Brian Hughes. “They play terrific team defense, and they really shut the lane down,” Vibbard said of Cortland. “I would say they will be one of the best teams we see this season.”
In Friday’s first game, Tully stretched its lead to 15 points with an 18-7 third quarter to defeat the Storm. Tully connected on eight three-pointers, four of those coming in the aforementioned third stanza.
Justin Hofer scored 19 points for UV, and David Dufresne added 11. “They stepped up and hit some shots when they needed to,” said UV coach Matt Osborne of Tully.

HARPURSVILLE – Sophomore Devon Dean scored 14 points to lead Harpursville’s offensive attack, one that was helped out by stifling defense in Friday’s win over the G-MU.

Boys’ Swimming
Greene 105, Chenango Forks 79
GREENE – Every swimmer on the Greene roster contributed at least one team point, said head coach Mike Platta, in a opening-meet win over Chenango Forks Friday night.
Chris Bay picked up four total wins for the Trojans, while Armand DeRosa and Tommy Delgado had three wins apiece. Bay was particularly dominant in the sprint freestyle races capturing the 50- and 100-yard freestyles in 23.5 and 52.73 seconds respectively.
“We had four races where we caught them from behind to win,” Platta said. “We put in a lot of yardage in practice, and that gives us enough in the gas tank to really pour it on the final 25 yards. These type of results show that when you put in the hard work, the results will follow.”
Greene returns to action next Friday at Chenango Valley.
