The Binghamton-6 squad fought through a physical first half at Newark Valley Tuesday night, erasing an early 7-2 deficit with hard-nosed defense and a season-best performance from Alonzo Brunn (13 of his career-high 17 points in the first half) to build a 30-16 halftime lead, then cruise to a 51-34 win.
Brunn recorded his first double-double Tuesday, adding 11 rebounds, continuing his standout improvement this winter. Devin Young scored a team-high 20 points, adding a double-double of his own with 14 rebounds. He just missed a triple double, with 9 steals. Meanwhile underneath, 5th-grader Brandon Sprouse handled Newark Valley's big men ably, ripping down 16 rebounds despite being knocked to the floor several times. Sprouse added 6 points in the win.
Matt Collins-Pringle and Casey Walsh also provided solid defensive outings, despite both getting into first-half foul trouble. They combined for 9 steals, and 4th-grader Gabe Whiteman turned in a whirlwind defensive effort, containing NV's quick point guard all night - Whiteman had 5 steals of his own, but that was only part of the story, as he stopped drives consistently, his harassment also causing several NV turnovers.
Binghamton had 20 steals in the first half alone, adding 11 more after the break.
