Unadilla Valley 54, Sherburne-Earlville 36

SHERBURNE – Westhill withstood the strong guard play of UV’s Mason Wyman and Raffi Perry to win the Sherburne-Earlville tip-off tournament title Saturday.

Most Valuable Player Dan Ross scored 22 points for the Warriors, runners-up in last year’s final to Sherburne-Earlville.

Wyman poured in a career-high 24 points for UV, who trailed 20-7 after one period. “They hit all four of their threes in the first quarter, and we struggled to get back on defense,” said Storm coach Matt Osborne of the first quarter. “After the first quarter I thought it could be a blowout, but we stepped it up in the second quarter. We had our chances to cut it down to seven or five points in the third quarter, but just didn’t execute the plays.”

Perry added 12 points for UV before fouling out with 2 1/2 minutes to play in the fourth quarter.

Clinton hit seven three balls and erased S-E’s three-point lead early in the second quarter scoring the final 12 points of the stanza to win the consolation game.
