Oxford 53, Greene 50
OXFORD – Oxford survived four Greene shot attempts in the last 15 seconds that would have tied the game or given the Trojans the lead to win its final game before sectional play on Thursday night.
Justin Schray hit one foul shot with 8.2 seconds remaining after the Trojans missed a pair of three-point shots and one inside shot attempt. Greene inbounded the ball after Schray’s made free throw, and Evan Moxley’s three ball at the buzzer took a full circle around the rim before spinning out.
“We had a few defensive lapses and more turnovers than we wanted, but other than that, as a unit, I felt we played well offensively, we shared it well, and moved the ball on offense,” said Oxford coach Tim Davis.
Oxford clung to a narrow lead throughout the fourth quarter getting a timely basket or free throw when it appeared Greene had the momentum.
Sam Adams’ offensive rebound putback for Greene with 4:47 left and hit a spot-up jumper as the Oxford lead closed to 49-46. Oxford’s Booker Davis drew a foul and hit one foul shot on the next possession, and Davis added a layup off a nice bounce pass from Schray that moved the lead back to six
Dan Treadwell found Adams for a layup, and Moxley drained two free throws leaving Greene two points short, 52-50.
“They’re a quick team, and it took us some time to settle in,” Davis said of Greene. “They went with a smaller, quicker lineup, and we had to put in a unique lineup to match up defensively. It was tough for us to match up at times.”
Booker Davis led Oxford with 16 points, Schray had 12 points, 10 rebounds, and seven assists, and Andrew Golden finished with 11.
Adams had 14 for Greene and Jeff Carlin scored 12

Sherburne-Earlville 59, Waterville 45
WATERVILLE – Facing a tough team on the road, Sherburne-Earlville finished off its second straight Center State Conference division championship beating Waterville Thursday night.
The win was the 11th in 12 CSC Division II games for the Marauders (15-3). “I had no doubt it was going to be a tough game tonight,” said S-E coach Karen Mulligan. “It was on their senior night, and they came out pretty strong.”
S-E trailed by six in the first quarter, but responded to tie the game by the end of the first quarter. Caitlynn Adams had six points and Cassie Beaver five during a 17-7 second quarter. Sierra Morris had the first six points of S-E’s third quarter to expand the lead to 16 at one point. Morris had eight overall during the third stanza. “(Sierra) was really aggressive, and it was nice to see her play well in a game that meant a lot to us,” Mulligan said.
Beaver led for S-E players in double figures scored 16 points. Adams had 14 points, 11 rebounds, and five assists. Bridget Irwin scored 13 points, while adding eight steals and five assists. Morris finished the game with a season-high 11 points.
“We had three starters back from last year, but everyone else was new to varsity,” Mulligan said. “I wasn’t sure how we would respond this year, but they’re all unselfish and they wanted to win as a team. This is a group that has worked hard, and they deserve this.”
S-E is idle until the Section III playoffs.

Unatego 43, Greene 38
OTEGO – Sarah Mannina hit a three-pointer at the end of the third quarter to give Unatego the lead for good in Wednesday night’s home victory over Greene.
Greene stayed in close range of Unatego until an offensive rebound and basket by Robin Foster – her only basket of the game – with less than a minute to play virtually sealed the win for the Spartans.
“We didn’t do as good a job with our defensive rebounding as the first time we played them,” said Greene coach Dave Gorton. “We seemed a step slow to the ball.”
Casey Manzanero hit four three-pointers and scored a game-high 18 points to lead Unatego. Katie Woods added nine points.
“Manzanero had a nice game and her three-pointers really hurt us,” Gorton said.
Jessica Brooks led Greene with a career-high 15 points.
