Greene 50, Sidney 29

GREENE – Greene continues to improve each time out, and a 21-point win over a talented Sidney club on Friday night was further evidence of that team growth.

“We had a bad quarter against Sidney the first time we played them, and they were able to get back in the game,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “This time, when we had a bad quarter, we still played great defense.”

The Trojans (4-2) began to shake the Warriors in the third quarter extending their lead to 10 before a dominant fourth stanza put the victory on ice.

Erin Smith bucketed 13 points, Liz Wentlent scored 12 points to go with eight rebounds, and Andrea Day added 12 points.

“This was our best game of the year – by far,” Gorton said. “We showed so much character in the Harpursville game, and that carried over.”
