Binghamton-6 Splits Again

On Day 2 of the Johnson City Holiday Classic, Binghamton-6 split its two games for a second straight day.

In its first game, playing against one of the top teams in the Slim Sylvester League this season, Binghamton lost 61-24. But in the first half, Binghamton scrapped its way to a 23-16 deficit at halftime - a very solid showing. JC's size on the interior, and team depth, eventually wore Binghamton down as JC walked away with the win.

Binghamton then faced Chenango Valley-6 and built a 22-12 lead at the half before wining the contest 40-28.

CV scored first to open the second half, but Binghamton got baskets from Gabriel Whiteman and Brandon Sprouse, and two buckets from Devin Young, to lead 30-14. CV cut the lead to 9 points (at 37-28) but that was the closest they would get.

Devin Young led Binghamton with 16 points, 11 rebounds and 6 steals, while Brandon Sprouse chipped in a strong 12 points and 9 boards, despite picking up his third foul at the end of the first half. But it was Casey Walsh who provided the glue in this victory. Walsh scored just 5 points, but he collected a team-high 12 rebounds, a season-high 7 assists and a very pesky 5 steals before fouling out with under a minute to play.
