We sent two teams to play in the Cortland Basketball Club Tournament Saturday, and the kids came home with an overall 5-2 record. The 6th-grade team went 2-1 with wins over Homer (31-26) and Owego (78-48). The one loss (61-41) came against a regional AAU champion team from Ithaca. Binghamton fell behind by about 20 points early, then played Ithaca even the rest of the way.
The 5/6s played in a second division of the Cortland tourney, and won their pool with a 3-0 record. In the championship game, Binghamton had several chances to take the win, but fell just short, losing 27-26 to a polished Jamesville-DeWitte team. Binghamton shot 2-for-14 from the foul line in the final.
One of the highlights of the day came in the 5/6 team's third game. Facing elimination and trailing 24-23, Vito Ferranti was fouled with 7 seconds remaining. Ferranti fought off illness through the day's first three games, then stepped to the free throw line and canned both shots to lead 25-24. The X-Gen (Horseheads) team struggled to get the ball to midcourt against Binghamton's press, and with a second remaining, could only get off a halfcourt shot, which was long. Ferranti was only able to play a minute or two in the final due to the stomach illness worsening.
Here are the stats we have from Cortland.
