Sherburne-Earlville 67, Cooperstown 46

SHERBURNE - Sherburne-Earlville (10-2) extended its winning streak to nine games beating Cooperstown at home Friday night.

The Marauders opened their lead to 12 points at halftime after a slow start. Derek Capria had seven points in the second, and Gavin Giroux scored six in the period. "We played pretty well after the first quarter, and once again, our defense kept us in the game while we kind of struggled on offense in the first quarter," said S-E coach Kevin Vibbard.

In S-E's first meeting with Cooperstown this season, it needed to score five points in the final eight seconds to win by four points, Vibbard said.

S-E senior Ben Khoury was consistent with his scoring throughout the game finishing with a team-high 20 points. Giroux added 14 and Capria had 11.

The Marauders host Canastota Friday.
