Chenango County basketball wrap-up
SHERBURNE – The Sherburne-Earlville girls basketball scratched out their 10th win on the season when they downed Holland-Patent at home by a scoreline of 67-58.
The nine-point win at home for the lady Marauders held special significance, as the S-E girls held their 'Hoops for Hope' game to help raise awareness for cancer.
With purpose to the game – the Marauder crowd played witness to a fantastic showcase of two offensive minded teams in the first period. When all was said and done, S-E and the Golden Knights emerged from just the first period all knotted up at 19-19. However, the two squads took separate approaches to the early scoring frenzy, as the lady Marauders looked to the long-ball early – cashing in on five three-point shots. Three of those shots came from Kaitlyn Furner who finished second in scoring on the day with 16 points, nine of which came in the first. Holland-Patent used the short-game to try to carve up the Marauders – sinking six field goals in the period – four which came from Haedyn Rubarto.
S-E proved to be relentless in their attack – slashing H-P for another 14 points to close out the half, taking the halftime lead of 33-26.
A rewired Golden Knights team emerged from the halftime break only to post back-to-back periods of 16 points a piece in what they had hoped would be enough to unseat S-E at home.
However, the lady Marauders had a different game plan – with four of the six players who scored hitting double digits – S-E was able to keep their distance from the Golden Knights, allowing a slow but sure pull-away in the scorelines. A 19 point fourth period and a Lexi Elderkin led game of 18 points, coupled with a Miranda Wright performance of 15 points, 11 rebounds, and four steals allowed just enough for the S-E ladies to prevail at home.
Next up for the S-E ladies (10-6 overall), they will take some time to return to practice before their next scheduled game on Friday, Feb. 3, at Cazenovia. The game is slated for a 4:30 p.m. start time.

Helping to push the pace in the losing effort was Alyssa Sands to saw a team high 13 points off her five field goals and one three-pointer.
Emerging from the break, Greene looked to dominate the rest of the duration of the game when they managed to take the lead at 31-29 – snagging a 16-8 third period.

BAINBRIDGE – The Bobcats varsity boys basketball team of Bainbridge-Guilford has showed vigor of late, as they have now climbed to an even 7-7 record on the season after defeating Harpursville 62-36.
The Hornets were no match for the better equipped Bobcats on Monday, Jan. 30, as even though Harpursville was able to enjoy a 12 point period to start the game – Bainbridge-Guilford swallowed them alive with a monstrous showing at home – attacking the rim for 22 points to lead 22-12 after just one.
This pace of 22 points in a period was not sustainable, as Bainbridge-Guilford did see a drastic dip in their offense in the next two periods. However, with three players in the double-digit range fore scoring, the methodic attack was triumphant.
B-G led Harpursville 32-20 at the half – getting outscored 10-8 in the third – setting up a 40-30, ten-point game with one period left to play.

DEPOSIT – The Oxford girls varsity basketball team slunk to yet another loss on the season when a road game against Deposit did not fair well in the scoring, as the lady Blackhawks lost 43-19.
This road game on Friday, Jan. 27, was the beginning of a weekend surrounded on either side by losses. The game Friday, looked to be somewhat competitive – facing a then 3-10 Deposit team – after the first period, as Oxford only trailed 9-3.
However, following just a nine point period in the first, Deposit kicked it into gear, a gear that the Oxford ladies couldn’t seem to match. Deposit went on to take a 22-10 halftime lead, before pouring on the bonus points in the second half – where Deposit outscored Oxford 21-9.
Leading Oxford in scoring was Allison Beckwith, with her seven points in the losing effort.
Despite spots of good play, Oxford would struggle off the boards, getting out rebounded in the game 56-29 – a point that Oxford head coach Chris Palmer pointed out as a big issue in the loss.

UNATEGO – With hope in their minds, the struggling lady Blackhawks of Oxford took to the road yet again on Monday, only to drop another loss onto the season this time at 58-18 to Unatego.
The Spartans wasted no time in showing they were the dominant team on the court on Monday, Jan. 30, as they rushed out to a solid 22-2 first half. Oxford would only manage two points in the first period – fowl shots made from Hannah and Ellie Ryan.
A second half resurgence the Blackhawks was a positive note in the loss – as they managed to push, but not fully turn back the tide in the game with their seven and nine point periods in the game, respectively.
This tide was just too much to overcome, despite the improved play, as Unatego turned on the jets for back-to-back 18 point periods to close out the game with a win at home over Oxford by 40 points.
Leading Oxford in her efforts on the court was Allison Beckwith once again – as she managed no points in the game but came up big with a team-high seven rebounds.

The Spartans wasted no time in showing they were the dominant team on the court on Monday, Jan. 30, as they rushed out to a solid 22-2 first half. Oxford would only manage two points in the first period – fowl shots made from Hannah and Ellie Ryan.
A second half resurgence the Blackhawks was a positive note in the loss – as they managed to push, but not fully turn back the tide in the game with their seven and nine point periods in the game, respectively.
This tide was just too much to overcome, despite the improved play, as Unatego turned on the jets for back-to-back 18 point periods to close out the game with a win at home over Oxford by 40 points.
Leading Oxford in her efforts on the court was Allison Beckwith once again – as she managed no points in the game but came up big with a team-high seven rebounds.
