DELHI – The Unadilla Valley girls varsity basketball team will be looking for a rebound in a big way when sloppy play on opening night of the 2016-2017 season resulted in a blowout loss on the road.

The game which was played against Delhi on Dec. 6, saw the Storm get physically worn down due to a more resilient home squad.

Down 22-11, UV still remained within a relative striking distance if adjustments and better play resulted after the break. However, a team total of 29 turnovers throughout the game helped contribute to the loss to Delhi – who glided away with the 61-21 victory.

“Not the game you want to start the year out with,” said Unadilla Valley head coach Brandi Whitbeck. “We played decent in the first half, and (then) they just wore us down and took advantage of our inexperience. 29 Turnovers isn’t going to keep you in a game.”
