Walton 43, Unadilla Valley 39
NEW BERLIN – Having won all of its league games by 20 points or more, Walton survived a scare at Unadilla Valley Thursday night.
The Storm had possession of the ball with 49 seconds left and the score tied at 39-39, but turned the ball over on offense. Walton’s Brad Hodges converted a layup at the other end, and Patrick O’Brien hit two free throws late to wrap up the victory.
“It was a good game all the way through, and we played with a lot of passion,” said UV coach Matt Osborne. “We just didn’t execute the little things at the end.”
Mason Wyman scored 17 points for the Storm, while Darin Garcia and Raffi Perry netted 10 apiece.

Sherburne-Earlville 45, Waterville 25
SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville completed its first season sweep of Waterville since joining the Midstate Athletic Conference, while also rebounding from a lopsided loss earlier in the week.
“The defensive effort was outstanding, and it’s the best defense I have seen at Sherburne-Earlville,” lauded S-E coach Jeff Parry. “We had our hands on the ball, we played the passing lanes, switched on screens, and the kids boxed out. We limited them to one shot all night.”
Courtney Kurtz completed a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Megan Welshko added 11 boards, and Danielle Green had eight points and eight rebounds.
The Marauders came out strong in the third quarter adding to a double-digit lead. Kurtz scored six in the quarter and Brenda Hoefler had two baskets. “I’m proud of how the kids bounced back after a tough loss,” Barry said. “I give them all the credit in the world.”

Erica Loomis and Amber Wood had 10 points apiece in the second half, and Amanda Morse scored all of her eight points in the final two quarters. “We missed a lot of scoring opportunities in the first half,” said OV coach Kevin Springer. “The girls were more determined in the second half, played with more intensity, and shot the ball much, much better.”
Wood led OV with 15 points and Loomis added 14. The Vikings host Stockbridge Valley next Friday.

B-G/Afton 53, S-E 15
BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge-Guilford/Afton’s Danny Gormley won a battle of sectional champions to highlight the Bears’ dual meet win over the Marauders Thursday in a non-league matchup.
Gormley, a division two sectional champion last year, won a 6-0 decision over S-E’s Greg DuVall, a division one titlist last season. “That is by far the best match Danny has wrestled this year,” said B-GA coach Brandon MacNaught. “He was solid in all the positions, but I have to give Greg credit. He was in deep on a couple of shots, but we scrambled well out of them.”
The Marauders finished with just three victories, one of those a pin by Dan Cleveland at 140 pounds. “They have some tough wrestlers, but we wrestled pretty well tonight as a group,” MacNaught said.
The Bears compete in the Section IV dual meet tournament next weekend.
