Bainbridge-Guilford 47, Unatego 30
BAINBRIDGE – Bainbridge-Guilford shrugged off an erratic first half of shooting to blaze into the Midstate Athletic Conference finals next weekend against Delhi.
The Bobcats hit just 5 of 33 shot attempts in the first half and were locked in a 15-15 tie with the Spartans. “It seemed like we were just too wound up, and we did talk at halftime about getting our composure and settling down,” said B-G coach Bob Conway.
Sophomore Becca Reyes allowed the Bobcats to settle in quickly. Reyes hit a three on the opening possession of the first half, stole the ensuing inbounds pass for another layup, and had a steal and another layup for seven straight points. Later in the quarter, senior Morgan Bullis took charge with seven points including a three-point play in a 22-4 dominant stanza.
Bullis finished with 17 points and 15 rebounds in the victory, and Reyes added nine points.

Sherburne-Earlville 47, Clinton 41
SHERBURNE – Sherburne-Earlville’s Savannah Irwin was red-hot early in the game, and the Marauders needed every one of Irwin’s points.
Irwin canned four threes in the first quarter as the Marauders jumped out to a 22-2 lead. Clinton chipped away the rest of the game and came as close as three points in the fourth quarter.
“They went box-and-one on Savannah after the first quarter, and that slowed her down, and we missed some shots around the basket,” said S-E head coach Karen Mulligan. “We kept our heads when they came back, we made some plays, and got some rebounds when we needed to.”
Irwin hit two free throws in the final minute, and Stacia Beckwith added a free throw with three seconds left to finish the scoring.
Lilly Berg had 11 points in the second half for S-E finishing with 19 points to go with 19 rebounds and seven blocked shots. Irwin wound up with 18 points.

Clinton 74, Sherburne-Earlville 58
CLINTON – Clinton brought Sherburne-Earlville’s 12-game winning streak to an abrupt halt Thursday evening behind prolific scorer Malaquias Canery.
Canery had 29 points in the second half alone finishing with 46, the highest total by an S-E opponent in over 20 seasons. “We allowed too much dribble penetration (by Canery),” said Marauders coach Kevin Vibbard. “We tried zone and a gimmick defense. We just couldn’t keep him in front of us. He got into the lane, and he made plays.”
The Marauders scored just three points in the first quarter, and faced an uphill climb until the third quarter when it briefly tied the game.
Ben Khoury scored 23 for S-E and Gavin Giroux added 21 points in the loss. The Marauders (13-3) play at Adirondack Saturday.
S-E: Matt Hull, 0 0-1-0; Dylan Seymour, 3 0-0-6 ; Derek Capria, 2 1-2-6 ; Keith Rose, 1 0-0-2; Ben Khoury, 9 3-10-23; Brady Elderkin, 0; Gavin Giroux, 10 1-4-21. Totals: 25 5-17-58.

DELHI – Delhi made up an early nine-point deficit against Greene to secure the second seed in the MAC playoffs Wednesday evening.

Jordan Harrington led the Trojans with 21 points, Luke Day had 17, and Luke Erickson scored 15. Greene, the number four seed in the MAC tourney, faces Sidney today. “It’s the second year in a row we’ve made the semifinal, and we would really like to get over the hump and reach the final,” Smith said.
