4/5 squad wins in comeback at JC 5/6

The Binghamton 4/5 squad played at Johnson City against the JC 5/6 squad on Friday, February 13, and came away with an exciting comeback victory, 34-29.

Binghamton trailed 15-7 midway through the second quarter before 6-2 mini-run got the score to within 17-14 at halftime. Kyeem Holmes made the second of two free throws (15-8), Sarbast Doski scored inside (15-10), Roberto Jensen scored on a drive down the lane (17-12) and Jonah Chambers converted (17-14) just before intermission.

Coach Jensen was hit with his first-ever technical foul moments into the third quarter, and JC converted a free throw to lead it 20-16. From there, Binghamton outscored JC 18-9.

Trailing 29-26, Binghamton scored on a Nate Gaster hook shot in the lane (29-28). Doski then canned two free throws to give Binghamton its first lead since 7-6 in the first quarter (30-29). Johnson City then applied a full-court press, but Binghamton was able to break it. Doski’s outlet pass went to Holmes, who found Jensen at mid-court. Jensen then hit Gaster on the dead run for the lay-up and 32-29 lead with 26 seconds remaining.

JC missed its next shot and was forced to foul Doski with 8.6 seconds to go. Doski hit both his free throws for the final margin.
