The Binghamton 4/5 squad, playing in a division with mostly teams comprised of 5th- and 6th-graders, got its second straight win Saturday afternoon, beating Maine-Endwell 5/6 Gold, 33-19, at the downtown Binghamton YMCA.
Binghamton 4/5 was joined by Nate Gaster and Nathan Oliva (both of the Binghamton 5/6 Blue squad) for this game, with permission from opposing coaches. Perhaps it was the added height, or maybe the 4/5 team just put things together Saturday. But whatever the reason, the team played very well as a group, displaying a renewed energy and aggressive style on the court.
Binghamton opened up an 8-2 lead in the first quarter and led at halftime 16-11. After the third quarter, Binghamton 4/5 led 23-13 and Austin Becker-Harris' bucket late in the fourth gave Binghamton the final lead of 33-19.
Gaster and Oliva certainly complemented the inside games of Suehaidee Masso and Patrick Goodman. But it was the aggressive drives by guards Jonah Chambers, Casey Walsh, Garrett Alapeck and Becker-Harris that may have been the biggest difference in the team's solid play in this game.
