Greene 49, Unatego 33
OXFORD – Greene's suffocating defense led it to an 18-point halftime lead in Monday's Oxford Tournament victory.

Audrey Platta ignited the Trojans offense early scoring nine of her season-high 13 points in the first quarter as Greene assembled a 14-6 lead. "She took charge for us and got us off to a good start," Gorton said of Platta.
Katie Carey led Greene with 14 points, and Kristie Haskell matched Platta's 13-point outing.

Afton 43, Oxford 26
OXFORD – Afton built a 19-4 lead in the first half, and withstood a furious Oxford rally to advance to the finals of the Oxford Tournament.
Oxford ended the first half on a 9-2 run to close Afton's lead to 21-13, then started the second half on a 11-3 spurt to knot the game up.
"We played really well in the second and third quarters, and fought hard to make it a good game," said Oxford coach Chris Palmer.

Kazalski Tournament
Bainbridge-Guilford 63, Whitney Point 36
BAINBRIDGE – Bobcats coach Bob Conway said Monday night's performance was perhaps the best his team has played in three or four years.
Tournament MVP Morgan Bullis had 16 points and 18 rebounds lifting her club to the Kazalski Tournament title.
"It's been a while since we played this well," Conway said after the game. "I thought this one would be a barnburner from start to finish."
Rebecca Reyes hit two threes early on as B-G raced to a 12-2 start and a 19-10 advantage after one quarter. The lead grew to 12 at halftime and doubled to 24 points after three quarters.
"We just got into a nice rhythm, and it started with Morgan," Conway said. "She really came to play. She was so active, and they had trouble with her inside."
Eighth-grader Abi Selfridge scored 11 points in the win, Reyes had nine, and freshman Megan Palmatier finished with eight points and 10 rebounds.
Reyes was also selected to the all-tournament team. The Bobcats host Harpursville Jan. 6.
