Binghamton loses in tourney; Holmes honored
Some days you have it, some you don't.
Playing a Susquehanna Valley team it had beaten twice before by a combined 83-67 points, Binghamton never got its game jumpstarted Tuesday night in the semifinal round of the Johnson City Holiday Tournament, losing to SV, 54-28.
The game was littered with interesting officiating and a comparative number that was startling: SV shot 38 foul shots (making 20). Binghamton went to the line just seven times (and made two).
Binghamton committed numerous early turnovers as SV went ahead 5-2, but Binghamton hung around to tie the game at 8-all about midway through the first half. SV then went on a 16-8 run to lead at the half, 24-12.
In the second half, Binghamton couldn't put together a run of its own, as SV slowly built its lead.
After the game, Kyeem Holmes was called to center court and presented with a nice plaque, as he was named to the All-Tournament Team. Holmes averaged 13.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.2 steals, 3 blocked shots and 1.8 assists in the five games.
Statistics:
* Kyeem Holmes - 14 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals, 2 blocks (2-for-3 on free throws)
* Latrel McFarlane - 4 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals
* Nate Gaster - 4 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks - fouled out (0-for-2 on free throws)
* Devin Young - 2 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block (o-for-1 on free throws)
* Yosef Baker - 2 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks

Binghamton White: Deja vu
Binghamton 5-6 White played the Chenango Valley-6 team in the opener of the Johnson City Holiday Tournament in a game with a too-familiar feel. After losing by 1 Wednesday night, Binghamton lost to CV Thursday, 43-42. And like on the night before, Binghamton squandered a 9-point lead late in the game.
Binghamton's Nate Gaster fouled out with 2:59 left to go, but two Milton Jimenez free thows with about 2:30 left to play gave White a 40-31 lead. CV then employed a full-court press that gave Binghamton trouble. With 1:11 remaining, a Kyeem Holmes free throw still had Binghamton ahead 41-35 lead, but three straight CV baskets off the press tied the game. CV then hit two free throws going ahead 43-41.
With :02 remaining, Holmes was fouled driving to the basket. He nailed the first free throw, but couldn't convert the second.
Note: Binghamton White lost two players in the past week. Latrel McFarlane has been ruled academically ineligible (parents' decision). Elijah Simon was removed from the team (parents' decision).
Statistics:
* Kyeem Holmes - 17 points, 11 rebounds, 1 assist, 6 steals, 3 blocks (3-for-6 on free throws)

Binghamton's Nate Gaster fouled out with 2:59 left to go, but two Milton Jimenez free thows with about 2:30 left to play gave White a 40-31 lead. CV then employed a full-court press that gave Binghamton trouble. With 1:11 remaining, a Kyeem Holmes free throw still had Binghamton ahead 41-35 lead, but three straight CV baskets off the press tied the game. CV then hit two free throws going ahead 43-41.
With :02 remaining, Holmes was fouled driving to the basket. He nailed the first free throw, but couldn't convert the second.
Note: Binghamton White lost two players in the past week. Latrel McFarlane has been ruled academically ineligible (parents' decision). Elijah Simon was removed from the team (parents' decision).

Binghamton White drops heartbreaker at home
A short-handed Binghamton 5-6 White team led by 6 at halftime and by 9 (37-28) with 7:30 left to play, then was outscored 12-2 by a scrappy Whitney Point-6 team, as Binghamton lost at Calvin Coolidge Wednesday night, 40-39.
In a very strange ballgame, Binghamton fell behind 6-2, then went on a 13-6 run to lead by 5 in the first half. Binghamton also built a 33-24 lead in the third quarter, but WP always answered, often with outside shooting.

Girls get a victory over Whitney Point Travel
While our program does not officially have a girls 5-6 travel team, on Tuesday evening we pulled together a handful of the girls who play in our midst. Without holding a practice, the Binghamton girls (in grades 4, 5 and 6) beat a team from Whitney Point at Calvin Coolidge Elementary, 61-32.
Point broke out to an early 8-4 lead, but it was all Binghamton from there, as the home team held a 20-10 lead after the first half, and a 34-16 advantage at intermission.
Binghamton outscored Whitney Point 16-12 in the third and 11-2 in the fourth to gain the win.

Binghamton 5-6 Blue overcame a slow start to run away with a road victory Saturday, beating Norwich at the Norwich YMCA, 34-15. Coach Mike Robinson said his team faced a 6-0 deficit after less than two minutes of play, so he made wholesale lineup changes. "My starters got the message," Robinson said. Trailing 8-6 ater the first quarter, Binghamton outscored Norwich 26-7 the rest of the way.
Binghamton used the inside muscle of Suehaidee Masso and Khalil Mathias (who combined for 20 rebounds) to build a lead and extend it, but according to Coach Robinson, Casey Walsh was the game's MVP.
"He ran the show," Robinson said. "The defense was outstanding and he only picked up two fouls while playing about 75 percent of the game. He showed a lot of leadership for a 10-year-old boy."
