Tornado drop JV final
Evening Sun Report
BINGHAMTON – Norwich’s perfect run and quest for an unbeaten season and STAC junior varsity championship was stopped one game short.
Two three-point attempts in the waning seconds to tie the contest and force overtime were off the mark, and Vestal held on for a 49-46 win, Friday at the Broome County Veterans Memorial Arena.
Norwich (19-1) led only briefly in the first half, and was as close as one point with 17 seconds remaining. Colin Gemer drained two free throws for the Golden Bears setting up the final margin. “Every time we cut (the lead) close, they bounced back,” said Norwich head JV coach Phil Curley. “I don’t think they ever led by more than five points in the second half, and it was tight the whole way.”
Norwich received a team-high 12 points from Derek Hughes, 10 from Andrew Austin, and 18 markers split evenly between Casey Edwards and Richie Bonney. Down by two points and holding the ball for the final shot of the first half, Norwich misfired, and Vestal’s Tyler Bassett grabbed the rebound near the foul line. His three-quarters court heave at the halftime buzzer found nothing but net to push the margin back to five points. “That one really hurt, but I think it happened early enough in the game that we could recover,” Curley said of the desperation shot. “If we could have gotten those three points back, we wouldn’t have had to foul at the end.”
Vestal: Adam Smith, 3 0-0-6; Gabe Pickett, 3 0-2-6; Colin Gemer, 2 2-2-6; Taylor Bassett, 2 3-3-9; Chris Bowe, 9 2-3-20; Brian Biglione, 1 0-0-2; Jon Mordall, 0. Totals: 20 7-10-49.
