HOLLAND-PATENT – The Sherburne-Earlville boys varsity basketball team has notched another win on their belt after they held their own against Holland-Patent to emerge the victors at 46-43.

The three-point game on Jan. 3, was the Marauders first win of the new year as they successfully held off a late push from the Golden Knights in the fourth period. It was in fact S-E who grabbed the lead late in the game – after trailing 23-21 at the half, the Marauders exploded in the third period for 20 points. Leading the scoring barrage in the third period was Sam Tuttle who notched six points for the Marauders – while Tuttle shared the ball, as the well balanced S-E allowed five different players to score in the period, and six in the game. Leading S-E in scoring in the game was in fact Tyler Bigford, who racked up a solid 16 points on the road – doing most of his damage in the first half.

Leading 41-31 heading into the final period, S-E looked to be in trouble when the Golden Knights pushed back to score 12 points. S-E had seemed to fall off a cliff following the prolific third period, and thus followed up that outing with a mere five points scored in the fourth, however, this five points – coming from a two point shot from Bigford and three-pointer from Scott Swingle – was all that S-E needed to leave Holland-Patent the victors at 46-43.
