Sidney tops UV in OT for second time this season

Sidney 49, Unadilla Valley 47 (OT)
SIDNEY – Sidney rallied in the fourth quarter to force extra minutes, and edged UV in overtime for the second time this season Tuesday.
The extra period was short on scoring, but two free throws from Kelsey Decker and a bucket from Jolene Krom were enough for the Warriors. “We had a couple of turnovers in overtime that hurt us, and we really didn’t do anything on offense,” said UV coach Brandi Whitbeck.
Decker, Sidney’s leading scorer this season, sat much of the first three periods with foul trouble. The senior forward returned in the final quarter, and her presence on the floor worked as a distraction that allowed teammates Krom and Connor Decker to step up on offense. Krom hit two threes in the fourth, and Connor Decker scored six points to make up a seven-point deficit.
UV’s Corinne Izard led her club with 13 points and Emily Converse scored 11. The Storm (9-8) are idle until sectional play next week.

Greene 42, Unatego 26
GREENE – What a difference a day makes.
Those were the words Greene coach Dave Gorton used after Tuesday’s MAC mini-tournament victory over Unatego. “We beat Unatego earlier this year, so that gave us some confidence,” Gorton said. “Our foul shooting was also much, much better than last night (against Windsor, and we did some great things defensively.”
Trojans senior guard, Sierra Stoppkotte, had her most complete game of the season scoring 13 points to go with four assists, four steals, and six rebounds.
Greene was at its best on both ends of the floor in the third quarter when it outscored the Spartans 18-10. Katie Carey had two steals, Stoppkotte led the fast break in transition, and senior Jessica David also scored in transition. Stoppkotte and Carey led the offense with five points apiece during the stanza.
“It was one of those things where our defense was really frustrating them,” Gorton said. “It was a nice job all the way around.”
With the victory, Greene (9-9) qualified for the Section IV Class C playoffs, scheduled next week.
