Otselic Valley 73, G-MU 34
SOUTH OTSELIC – Coming off a flat performance over the weekend, Otselic Valley was sharp from the opening tipoff blitzing G-MU in a non-league rout Monday night.
David Cerasani scored 11 of his 19 points and dished out four of his nine assists in the opening quarter. The Vikings turned the Raiders over again and again, and that yielded multiple fast-break layups for the 28-8 lead. By halftime, the edge was at 45-16 for the unbeaten Vikings (13-0).
“That is probably the best first half of basketball I’ve had a team play in a while,” said Vikings coach Dave Loomis. “I would sleep better at night if I knew we could play like that every time we stepped on the court.”
Taylor Duell and Robert Guyer scored 12 and 11 points respectively, and Justin Shapley finished with 11 rebounds.
Peter Schmidt scored 18 points for G-MU.

S-E 45, Hamilton 41
SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville beat Hamilton for the second time this season, and snapped a six-game losing streak Monday night.
Caleb Brown unlocked a 41-41 tie making two free throws with 52 seconds remaining. After drawing an offensive charge on the defensive end, the Marauders’ Garrett Porack and Sean Boise tacked on free throws for the final margin.
“It was a good win in that it was a nip-and-tuck game all the way,” said S-E coach Kevin Vibbard. “In this game we made enough plays to win.”
The Marauders began to jell in the third quarter with a subtle zone offense adjustment. Porack scored six of his 16 in the quarter to push the S-E lead to seven. “I have to give my assistant coach Gabe Fowler credit for (the adjustment) against their zone,” Vibbard said. “It was something we had not tried before, but it gave us a lot of good looks at the basket.”
Boise added 15 points in the win.
