Binghamton-6 Wins League Tourney; 5s Finish 2nd

The Binghamton (White) 6th-grade team started quickly and got a nice win in the Sunday Slim Sylvester League championship Sunday at Highland Park, topping Ithaca 41-21. It was a true team effort, in the most literal sense, as no player from Binghamton scored in double-figures, and five players scored 6 points or more.

For Binghamton-6, Tyshawn High and Jalil Butts were named to the all-tournament team, while Jordan McGahy received the team's 6th-Man Award.

Binghamton-5 won its second-place game earlier on Sunday at Highland, beating St. Joseph's 57-32. This game was tied 23-23 at halftime before Binghamton ran away with it in the second half. Binghamton collected 15 steals after halftime alone off its stingy man-to-man full-court press.

Vito Ferranti was named the team's all-tournament selection, and Devon Herman was selected as this team's 6-Man Award recipient. In this game, Herman had 10 steals, 2 points and 2 rebounds.

It's worth noting that Binghamton 5's only tournament loss was to a Chenango Forks team comprised of several 6th-graders and the rest 5th-graders.

The Binghamton 5/6 team lost its final tourney game Saturday night, 39-22, to Chenango Valley. From the 5/6s, Lucas Davy was selected to the all-tournament team. Chris Surdey was that team's recipient of the 6th-Man Award.
