Oralls scores 24 in Norwich rout of Sabers
Boys’ Basketball
Norwich 80, Susquehanna Valley 37
CONKLIN – With Norwich’s two leading scorers combining for just eight points, senior Michael Oralls more than made up the difference.
Oralls scored a career-high 24 points, and added 12 rebounds, five assists, and three steals as Norwich (12-2) ran its victory streak to seven games. Backup guard Chris Trevisani scored 11, and backup forward Jordan Vinal also snagged 12 boards.
“Michael was just all over and he dominated the court tonight,” said Norwich coach Tom Collier. “It was clearly the best game he has played for us this season.”
Susquehanna Valley was without leading scorer Dave Matthews, but it may not have made much difference. Norwich’s starting lineup played most of its minutes in the first and third quarters, and during that span, the Tornado outscored the Sabers, 45-6
NHS led by 16 at halftime, that due to a 20-4 opening quarter that set the tone. Coming out for the third quarter, the visiting club shredded the Sabers, 25-2, over the ensuing eight minutes. Oralls scored seven in the stanza including a three, while Carlos Ithier and Zan Stewart also pumped in three balls. Seven Norwich players scored in the quarter setting up a fourth quarter of mop-up time for the reserves.
“From the middle of the second quarter until halftime, we were a little sloppy with the ball,” Collier said. “We came out like gangbusters in the third quarter and put the game away.”
Norwich hosts Chenango Valley on Friday.
Norwich’s junior varsity earned a 60-41 victory over the Sabers. Michael Carson led three players in double figures with 20. Dashawn King scored 16 and Ky’sawn Veale netted 11.

Norwich 45, Greene 31
GREENE – Norwich finished off its final dual meet of the season with four consecutive wins to come from behind for its 16th win of the season Tuesday at Greene.
Eli Rodriguez (99), Nick Glanville (106), and Zach Mills (113) all picked up pins, and Dalen Geislinger (120) finished off with a decision to erase Greene’s 31-24 lead.
The Trojans had their first full lineup in recent matches, and had the early advantage when Ryan Castle (132), Nate Banks (138), and Tyler Dickman (145) earned wins, the latter two by pinfall.
“It was nice to end on a high, but if we had lost, we were okay with that,” said Norwich coach Terry Hagenbuch. “We wanted to keep guys healthy going into the class tournament, and we were able to do that.”
Norwich again spotted the opponent some points giving up two forfeits, but as it has all season, rallied for the win. Norwich compiled a 16-5 record, and all the losses came in a dual meet tournament format – none in league or non-league matches. “Every time out we’ve given up 12-18 points, so we expected a lot out of the guys to catch those points up,” Hagenbuch said. “Sixteen times, we did that.”
Norwich is one of nine teams competing in the Section IV Class B Tournament, Saturday at Oneonta High School.
