Sherburne-Earlville 57, Canastota 43

CANASTOTA - Sherburne-Earlville rebounded from a tough loss earlier in the week with a division win on the road Friday night at Canastota.

Brock Weidman led a fourth-quarter push for the Marauders in which they stretched out a two-point lead entering the final eight minutes.

"We've been up and down this season, and even this game was a microcosm of that," said S-E coach Kevin Vibbard. "In the fourth quarter, we settled in, played fundamental basketball, and took the ball to the basket. Good things happen when you do that."

Weidman finished with a game-high 22 points, and 13 of those came in the fourth. Weidman hit an early three-pointer, but then proceeded to make 6-of-6 from the free throw line following drives to the basket.

The Marauders (2-1, 4-3), overall, were 9-of-10 from the charity stripe in the final quarter.

Taylor Gryzmkowski finished with 12 points - all on 3 balls - and Preston Eaves added 10.

The Marauders play at Holland Patent on Tuesday.

Frankfort-Schuyler 51, Oxford 49 (Thursday)

MORRIS -  In the consolation game of the Morris-hosted Ray Clement Tournament, Oxford's big second-half comeback fell short in a three-point defeat.

Oxford (0-4) scored just two points in the first quarter, and found itself in a 15-point hole at halftime.

Ethan Fleury scored 16 of his team-high 23 points in the middle two quarters as the Blackhawks closed the deficit to within one basket.

"We started out pretty poorly against the press, and had a lackluster first quarter," said Oxford coach Booker Davis. "But we fought back and made it a game. We were within a score the last couple of minutes."

Oxford was hurt by 2-for-11 free throw shooting in the second half.

Morris was not much better from the foul line finishing 6-for-21.

Scott Murphy had 25 points to lead the Mustangs.

Thursday's contest ended in a two-point defeat to Section III's Frankfort-Schuyler.

Angelo DeSarro and Ronan Harrod each hit a pair of free throws for F-S to hold off the Blackhawks.

Fleury scored 17 for Oxford in the loss and Ethan Ehly added an even dozen.
