GREENE – Matt Mullins followed up a 23-point game in the semfinal round with a career-best 32 points in leading Chenango Valley to a title win over the host Trojans in Friday’s Greene Holiday Showcase final.

Mullins canned 7-of-10 from three-point range and scored 23 points in the first half to spark his club to a 40-27 lead.

Greene made a brief run early in the third closing to 40-32 after a Chris Engler bucket. Chris Mack and Mullins answered quickly just 11 seconds apart with a pair of three balls to kickstart an 11-3 run and put the game out of reach. “We didn’t do a good job of getting to their shooters, and we knew we had to stop their penetration and kickouts,” said Greene coach Jeff Paske. “We made a little run to start the third, but just like that, it was back to 14 points and that was it.”

CV was 10-for-18 on three-point attempts and over 50 percent shooting for the game. Mullins’ 55 points over two games earned him Most Valuable Player honors.

Engler scored 15 for Greene and Mike Porter added 14 in the loss.

Oxford fell short in the consolation game to Trumansburg as it failed to hit a three-point shot to tie the game down the stretch.
