Norwich, Oxford to meet in Schwan final

Norwich 80, Sidney 42
NORWICH – Based on head coach Mark Abbott’s post-game comments, one might have thought the Purple Tornado eked out a slim victory instead of the 38-point blowout in the opening game of the 13th Annual Tom Schwan Memorial Tournament.
“We have a habit of coming out with not enough intensity,” Abbott said. “We have good players that play hard, sometimes they just need more prodding than they should need.”
Norwich took a 32-22 lead into the locker room, most of that margin created by senior Corey Dietrich, who dumped in 13 of his game-high 18 points.
“We weren’t in attack mode in the first half, and that’s what we want to be in,” Abbott said.
Norwich racheted up the offense and defense in the third quarter outscoring the Warriors 27-9. Derek Hughes had six points, while Dietrich, Vaughn Labor, and Timmy Clark all had five points.
With the reserves filling up the final eight minutes, Norwich padded the lead to as many as 40 points in the fourth quarter. “We played extremely well in the second half,” Abbott said. “Defensively, the points they scored in the second half were much tougher to come by.”
Clark finished with 11 points, while Labor and Casey Edwards netted 10 apiece.
Tyler Kane had 12 points and Aaron Wood 11 for the Warriors, who play Oneida in the consolation game Saturday afternoon.

Oxford 72, Oneida 56
NORWICH – In the second game of the Schwan tourney, Oxford closed out its win with 8-for-8 foul shooting over the final two minutes against an undermanned Oneida club.
The Indians had several players ruled ineligible by Section III officials after the players’ participation in Sunday’s Class B state championship football game. “The game was closer than the final score, and I hope we would have played better (against Oneida) if they were at full strength,” said Oxford coach Tim Davis. “We didn’t take them lightly, but we didn’t play to our capability.”
Tom Gould had nine points in the first quarter to stake his team to a two-point lead, and Alex Champlin had eight in the second quarter as the lead grew to 36-26 at halftime. Champlin scored 10 in the final period to finish with 23 points and 10 rebounds. Gould’s sum total was 19 points and a team-best 13 boards. Cory Seiler was steady in each half finishing with 16 points.
Oxford defends its Schwan title Saturday night against Norwich.
