G-MU 60, Edmeston 50
COPES CORNERS – G-MU continued its marked late-season improvement avenging an early-season loss to Edmeston, while also putting up its highest point total of the season.
Ian Edwards scored a career-high 22 points for the Raiders (5-9), and Jon Scofield had his fourth straight double-double finishing with 14 points and 12 rebounds.
“Edwards was a huge factor tonight, and he played both ends of the floor with a great deal of aggression,” said G-MU coach Bill Hartman. “It was gratifying to see him come out of his shell.”
Edmeston seemed in control leading 32-27 at halftime. Tanner Ray had 15 points in the opening half thanks to three treys, and Blake Vibbard added six points. Each Panthers player had just one field goal in the second half as G-MU seized the lead and dominated the second half. Edwards had 11 over the final two periods and Scofield nine. Andrew Delmar added 10 points, and freshman Eddie Ray Cotton scored a season-high eight.
“A lot of our recent success is attributed to the trust our players now have for each other,” Hartman said. “We’re showing a willingness to share the ball and we’re more patient on offense.”
G-MU is at Morris on Friday night.

DeRuyter 66, Otselic Valley 42
SOUTH OTSELIC – In spite of a rather lopsided defeat to Central Counties League leader DeRuyter on Friday, OV coach Dave Loomis was not terribly disappointed.
“DeRuyter moves the ball well inside and outside, and hit a high percentage of their shots,” Loomis said. “We did play better than we have been playing, and I was pleased with our effort and focus.”
Jeff Pittsley scored 12 points to pace OV, and Dusty Davis snagged a team-best 14 rebounds.

Oxford 62, Hancock 55
HANCOCK – Down by two points at the outset, Oxford’s strong second quarter gave it a double-digit lead, and improved the Blackhawks’ league record to 8-0 on the season.
Cory Seiler led Oxford with 21 points, Booker Davis had 14, and Jeremy Nelson tacked on nine. “We didn’t play poorly, and we were working on things that we need to get better at for the postseason,” said Oxford coach Tim Davis. “That’s why the score was probably closer than what people thought it should be.”

B-G 53, Deposit 51
BAINBRIDGE – B-G gave up an 11-point lead to Deposit in the fourth quarter, and survived four lead changes to win on Saturday night.
Freshman JV call-up Corbin Palmer hit two free throws late in the game to give B-G the lead back at 46-45, Bill Holden had a go-ahead bucket to answer a Deposit deuce, and Steve Patten hit a big three-pointer and two free throws with 14 seconds left to give the Bobcats the win.
Deposit’s Nathan Mills answered nearly all of those B-G baskets with hoops for his team, and teammate Ben Thomas supplied the largest chunk of his team’s offense scoring 28.
“This win was big for us because we didn’t have Porter (Ryan),” said B-G coach Ben Nelson, who said that Porter is among the team leaders in scoring and rebounding.
Patten finished with 12 points, and Justin Pepper posted a double-double scoring 12 and pulling down 11 rebounds. Holden added 10 points.
