Binghamton-6 rebounded well Friday night at the Keeler Gym, coming back from first- and third-quarter deficits to beat Maine-Endwell Blue-6, 53-52. Binghamton got a small dose of revenge, having lost to this M-E team in a preseason tournament by 2 points.
The win put Binghamton-6's overall record at 14-11. The blue squad is 7-2 in its last 9 games.
Three Binghamton players scored in double-digits, while four had excellent outings on the boards for blue.
With his co-captain Devin Young watching from the bench with his foot injury, sidelined until the home tournament February 18-19-20, Casey Walsh scored a team-high 16 points, most of which came on slashing drives to the basket. Walsh added 8 rebounds in the second consecutive standout performance for the 6th-grade point guard.
Fifth-grade big man Brandon Sprouse had an excellent game in the paint Friday against a couple very large M-E 6th-grade centers, helping to get them both in early foul trouble, and scoring 12 points and ripping down 16 rebounds.
Another 5th-grader, Jordan McGahy, pressed into more playing time by Young's injury, responded with flying colors, turning in his best game of his travel ball career. McGahy was aggressive in the low post against M-E, to the tune of 10 points and 8 rebounds.
And 6th-grader Matt Collins-Pringle, who was not present for Thursday's loss to CV-Red, was a dynamo on the glass Friday, grabbing 20 rebounds (15 of which came in the first half). Collins-Pringle added 6 points to his effort, along with 3 steals.
