SHERBURNE – Erica Selfridge of Bainbridge-Guilford, hit three three-pointers in the second quarter to start the Bobcats run that slowly started to separate them from their opponent, the Unadilla Valley Storm. That run helped lead the Bobcats to the second championship in a row in the Marauders Tip-Off Tournament over the weekend.
Unadilla Valley kept the game close in the first quarter, closing the quarter with a three by Shelby Meade as the buzzer sounded.
Erica Selfridge opened the second with her second three-pointer of the contest. Bobcats Megan Palmatier went to the free-throw line, knocking down two and teammate Jill Canistra followed with an and-1 three point play. Then Erica Selfridge drilled her third shot from behind the arc, continuing to grow the gap between the two teams.
Meade answered back with a three ball of her own, but it wasn’t enough to get the deficit within reach before the half.
In the second half, the defense of Brooke Brown for Unadilla Valley kept Palmatier at bay, only allowing her a total of two points in the second half.
That’s when Abi Selfridge turned it on, scoring 11 of her 16 points. Erica Selfridge added six more to give her a game-high 18 points to go along with her nine rebounds and four assists.
Meade finished the game with eight points, tying Julia Oglesby for the team-high for the Lady Storm.
Palmatier was named tournament MVP and finished with a double-double with 14 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists. Abi Selfridge also recorded a double-double as she pulled down a game-high 23 rebounds to go with her 16 points and six assists.
In the consolation game, Sherburne-Earlville was a team of two different halves. In the first half, nine points were scored by the Lady Marauders as they had hard time getting their shots to fall.
After the intermission, S-E started to show some signs of life as the Marauders’ Tessa Cole came alive, scoring nine of her team-high 11 points.
All-Tournament team member Kaitlyn Furner, chipped in six points on Saturday, all points coming from three-pointers.
