Greene 44, Sidney 37

GREENE – Greene’s trio of Luke Day, Jordan Harrington, and Joe Miranda combined for all but seven of the Trojans’ points in a home win over Sidney Thursday.

The Trojans won for the third time in four starts, and opened up the offense in the second half behind its defense. “Our halfcourt offense is pretty stale, but we used a 2-2-1 zone press in the second half to get us going and create easy baskets,” said Greene coach Rick Smith. “We’re bringing this team along slowly, and we’re starting to show some good signs.”

Bainbridge-Guilford 62, Afton 39

BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge-Guilford produced its best offensive showing of the season led by two 20-point scoring performances in Thursday’s win over Afton.

The Bobcats jumped out to a 20-6 lead in the first quarter hitting four three-pointers. Sean Jones and Ryan Jones, the grandsons of Section IV Hall-of-Famer, the late Jack Jones, each buried a pair of trifectas to open the 14-point lead.

Ryan Jones scored a game-high 22 points, and Zach Smith poured in a season-best 20 for the Bobcats (2-4). “We cranked up the offense for the first time this season,” said B-G coach Greg Warren. “I’ve been happy with the defense and we’ve been playing hard, but we were rushing things on offense. Tonight we played with composure, and we executed.”
