DEPOSIT – What better on Valentine's Day than to travel to a league rivals court and simply wipe the floor with them – in order to advance to the second round of the MAC League Tournament? That is exactly what the Greene boys basketball team did on Feb. 14, when they traveled to Deposit to win by a large margin at 62-35.

However, it wasn’t all broken hearts for Deposit on the night as they managed to edge the visiting Trojans early – as the game looked to be tighter than the finish suggested. With Deposit on top after the first eight minutes of play – 13-7 – the second period saw a slightly improved Greene offense hit the court. Greene notched somewhat of a comeback scoring 13 points to tie the game all up at 20-20.

That is when Deposit was let down in a big way, as Greene emerged from the halftime break with a new plan of attack – a plan that consisted of them drilling Deposit into the floor as they seamlessly racked up 26 third period points. A game that once saw a tie score was quickly and methodically ripped apart and turned into a Trojan led game at 46-28. It was too little too late for Deposit, who already down on their luck could only manage seven fourth period points in the failed comeback attempt. The Trojans marched on to the tune of a 62-35 win, advancing themselves to the second round of the MAC League Tournament.
