Binghamton Travel players Milton Jimenez, Roberto Jensen are free throw champions
Updated Team Schedules
Saturday afternoon at St. James in Johnson City, several Binghamton Travel basketball players competed in the annual Knights of Columbus-sponsored Free Throw Championship. Two of them came away as champs, while more placed in the running.
Milton Jimenez (12) and Roberto Jensen (11) won their age division championships, and each will compete next Saturday in the next round of the state competition. Winners next Saturday advance to a regional round of shooting in Syracuse.
Shafeeq Hosea (10), who plays alongside Jimenez and Jensen for the St. Thomas Gold CYO team, also won his division and will compete again Saturday for the chance to advance.
* In the 12-year-old division, Jimenez won outright, making 11-of-15 attempts. Binghamton Travel player Latrel McFarlane finished second in the age group after he tied another competitor with 8-for-15, then won after two tie-breaker rounds.
* In the 11-year-old division, Jensen tied with another competitor, each going 11-for-15. In the first tie-breaker, each shooter went 3-for-5. In the second tie-breaker, the first shooter made 2, then Jensen stepped up and made 3 of his first 4 free throws to secure the win.
Binghamton Travel players Jordan Bideaux and Andy Garcia made 10-of-15 in the first round, tying Muhammad Trammell (who also plays for the St. Thomas Gold CYO team). Bideaux won the tie-breaker, going 3-for-5, securing third place for the 11s.
Other Binghamton Travel basketball players competing in Saturday's Free Throw Championship were: Kyeem Holmes, Yosef Baker and Devin Weldon.
Shorthanded Blue beats Vestal by 6
Binghamton 5-6 Blue, with just six players in attendance, one of whom had lost his voice, gutted out a 34-28 win over Vestal Green Saturday afternoon at the Binghamton YMCA.
Binghamton trailed 11-10 after the first quarter, and after the teams had traded leads for much of the second quarter, Blue faced a 5-point deficit early in the fourth quarter. Garrett Alapeck, who coaches said they hadn't realized was under the weather until very late in the game, scored on a baseline move and was fouled, getting Binghamton back to within 3 points. He missed the free throw, but got the offensive rebound blasting down the middle and put it back to make it a 1-point lead.
"I had no idea he was sick," said Mike Robinson, head coach for Blue. Robinson laughed, adding that perhaps he didn't know because Alapeck had all but lost his voice.
"I knew something was wrong when he asked to come out of the game for a bit in the fourth," Robinson said of Alapeck. "He never wants out of a game."
Playing with only one substitution possibility, Binghamton relied mainly on the inside-outside combination of Suehaidee Masso and Kameron Crimmins. Frequently, Masso would receive entry passes on the low block and back her defender in, where she'd turn and look to score. She made shots or was fouled several times in critical moments down the stretch, lifting Blue back on top, eventually building the advantage to a game-high, game-ending 6 points.
When Masso wasn't taking care of business in the paint, Crimmins was driving the lane, scoring or dishing to teammates. Masso and Crimmins scored 14 points apiece to lead Binghamton Blue.
No Defensive Player of the Game was named Saturday because coaches agreed, it was a very balanced defensive effort from the six in attendance: Alapeck, Masso, Crimmins, Austin Becker-Harris, Ismar Turkovic and Zion Burwell.

Binghamton White tops JCC
Binghamton 5-6 White got off to a fast start and maintained that effort throughout, defeating a team from the Jewish Community Center 68-47 Wednesday night at Calvin Coolidge Elementary.
Binghamton led 28-16 after the first quarter and 42-28 at halftime. In the third quarter, Binghamton's starters, who played just the first and third quarters, built the lead to 28 points (62-34) on the strength of a 16-2 run toward the end of the half. White also led by 27 in the fourth quarter (64-37) as Matt-Collins-Pringle drained a nice 15-foot jump shot from the left side.
Fifth-grader Devin Young emerged as a defensive stopper Wednesday, being assigned the task to slow JCC's leading scorer, Brian Tableman. Despite Tableman getting his points, many came from the perimeter after Young took over. Young did a great job, using his quickness to stay in front of the JCC shooting guard, forcing him left and right while denying drives down the lane.

White comes back, beats SCC by 20
The Binghamton 5-6 White team scored just 4 points in the second quarter and trailed 17-12 at halftime in its Saturday arfternoon game against Seton Catholic Central-6 at the Binghamton YMCA.
But after intermission, White was treated to "The Milton Show," as they jokingly refer to it, as Milton Jimenez helped dig Binghamton out of its funk, sparking the second-half comeback, scoring 18 of his game-high 20 points after the break. Binghamton won this one, 48-28.
The Binghamton White offense was virtually invisible throughout the first half Saturday. Binghamton led 8-7 after the first quarter, but lackluster defense and sloppy ball-handling by Binghamton opened the door for SCC to outscore White 10-4 in the second quarter.
The second half was a different story. Jimenez led the charge after Nate Gaster got Binghamton to within 17-14. For the next 14 minutes or so, Jimenez consistently drove to the basket and either scored, was fouled, or his near-misses led to Binghamton offensive rebounds and put-backs, two of which came on back-to-back trips down court by Kyeem Holmes.
Later, Jimenez went to the line twice and missed four free throws, but made up for it with three more field goals in rapid succession. Holmes mixed in a bucket of his own and Binghamton was in charge, leading 30-19.
Binghamton scored the first 8 points of the fourth quarter (two baskets by - who else - Jimenez, one by Gaster, one by Latrel McFarlane) to lead 42-25. Roberto Jensen, Jimenez and Jonah Chambers comprised the game-ending 6-0 White run to get to the final score.
Jimenez also played a terrific game on defense, picking up the SCC point guards at midcourt in the second half. His quick-footed efforts seemed to take Seton out of its comfort zone, as Jimenez consistent pushed the SCC ball-handlers toward McFarlane and Holmes, who combined for 4 steals, Gaster added 3 steals of his own on the inside.

Binghamton 5-6 Blue battled with a smaller, but disciplined Athens team Saturday evening (at Athens), finally securing a 48-46 win.
The teams were deadlocked at 12-apiece after the first quarter, with the lead changing hands in the second quarter. Suehaidee Masso's lay-up as time expired before the half gave Blue a 26-22 lead at the break.

Binghamton White scrimmages Vestal
Click here to go directly to team schedules
While Binghamton 5-6 White was outscored by Vestal over the course of several five-minute periods Thursday night at the Endicott Boys & Girl Club, there were several encouraging items to report from this scrimmage/practice situation. In no particular order:
* Our starting five outscored Vestal's starting five over the first five minutes of the game, 10-2. Fairly impressive, considering Vestal has nine roster players, all of whom are AAU-level players. Will Gladney scored 4 in that period, while Nate Gaster, Roberto Jensen and Kyeem Holmes each scored 2. The most impressive thing was holding Vestal to a single bucket.
* We had other five-minute stretches during which we outscored Vestal (3-2 and 6-4), and a few where we were very competitive (being outscored just 3-2 and 6-5).
Our team of five that outscored Vestal 3-2 over five minutes was: Matt Collins-Pringle, Devin Young, Will Gladney, Devin Weldon and Andy Garcia. The group that outscored Vestal 6-4 over five minutes was: Yosef Baker, Devin Young, Milton Jimenez, Jonah Chambers and Andy Garcia.
The group that was outscored by Vestal just 3-2 was: Devin Weldon, Will Gladney, Yosef Baker, Devin Young and Andy Garcia. The group that was outscored just 6-5 was: Nate Gaster, Latrel McFarlane, Will Gladney, Jordan Bideaux and Yosef Baker.
There were a few other periods of play, though, where the closest we could get was 9-5, 10-4 and 11-6. All-in-all, though, I think the boys had a very good scrimmage, especially considering that Vestal squad is head-and-shoulders the best team in our league this year.
* Will Gladney returned to action for our program for the first time since he was in fourth grade. It was nice to have him back, as he contributed right away, leading the team in scoring (15 points) and grabbing 10 rebounds.
* Yosef Baker also returned to game action, in very impressive fashion. Yosef grabbed 8 rebounds and was a demon inside for us. Most impressive was his one-on-one defense against Vestal's big man (#5) inside. Yosef played a fantastic game defensively, and if we were to choose a "defensive player of the game" in this situation, it was Yosef, very clearly.
* We had 10 of our 13 players score in this scrimmage, and everyone appears in the box score, making team contributions.
Statistics:
* Will Gladney – 15 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 blocks (1-for-2 on free throws)

Khalil Mathias and Kameron Crimmins provided a strong inside-outside combination early on to build the initial lead, but the scrappy Whitney Point team wouldn't go away.

Blue emerged strong in the third quarter, though, pulling away to a 26-14 lead heading into the final 8 minutes of play. In the fourth, Gabriel Whiteman, a third-grader playing for the 5-6 team, made steals on three successive Whitney Point possessions, helping Blue build its lead to 32-14.

White squad overcomes halftime deficit for win
Binghamton 5-6 White trailed 24-13 at halftime, but rallied with a superb defense effort in the final two quarters to get a 46-41 win at Athens (Pa.) Friday night.
Down 11 points at intermission, the third quarter began for Binghamton with Devin Weldon and Milton Jimenez picking up Athens guards at half-court. The additional pressure applied, combined with Binghamton's inside players recognizing Athens screens and making smart defensive switches, made the difference. Specifically, with less room and time to maneuver in the front-court, the Weldon/Jimenez pressure forced several Athen passes, many into the quick, waiting hands of Kyeem Holmes (Binghamton Defensive Player of the Game).
The result was a 9-2 run in the third quarter that got put Binghamton ahead for the first time in the contest, 30-28. Latrel McFarlane ignited the comeback with two inside baskets, and Nate Gaster hit two free throws to get White within 5 (at 26-21). Holmes scored on the inside (26-23) and a Gaster bucket held the line (28-25). A Gaster free throw got it to 28-26 before Jimenez tied it (28-28). It was a Jimenez inside move that put Binghamton in the lead for the first time (30-28).
Trailing 34-30 just into the fourth quarter, Gaster and Holmes baskets tied it again. Athens scored, and McFarlane answered (36-36). But a well coached Athens group kept coming, getting an inside bucket, adding a free throw to take a 39-36 lead.
It was at that point that the Binghamton full-court press went into play and White went on a 10-2 run to finish the contest.
Holmes scored to get it back to 39-38, and McFarlane's bucket gave White a 40-39 lead. Athens answered to re-capture the lead with less than 2 minutes remaining, but Binghamton had momentum, taking the lead for good on one of the game's more exciting plays.
Holmes drove to the basket, left side, appeared to get fouled, missed the shot and fell to the floor. The ball was loose and Gaster got a hand on it, sending it Holmes' way. Still on his back, Holmes reeled in the basketball and three Athens players jumped in, but not before Holmes alertly spotted Roberto Jensen, open on the low right-side block. Holmes zipped the ball to Jensen, who banked it home (42-41) with 58 seconds remaining.
Binghamton got a stop at the other end and McFarlane's slashing basket gave White a 44-41 lead at the 25-second mark. The Binghamton press then forced an Athens turnover, and Jensen, initially looking to run out the clock, suddenly found a wide-open Jimenez down-court for a fast-break lay-up (46-41) with 8 seconds left.
Athens outscored White 14-7 and 10-6 in the first and second quarters. Binghamton then outscored Athens in the third quarter 17-8, holding a 16-9 edge in the fourth, as well.

The Binghamton press then forced an Athens turnover, and Jensen, initially looking to run out the clock, suddenly found a wide-open Jimenez down-court for a fast-break lay-up (46-41) with 8 seconds left.
Athens outscored White 14-7 and 10-6 in the first and second quarters. Binghamton then outscored Athens in the third quarter 17-8, holding a 16-9 edge in the fourth, as well.
