Results Since Last Wednesday

In the past week, our teams have played 4 games - two league matchups and two scrimmages in Cortland with The Ballers

In Cortland on Saturday, a team of 5/6s played a Cortland team that had 5/6s and a 7th-grader who played in the fourth quarter. That game ended in a 58-58 tie after two overtime sessions. The second game in Cortland, with 7-8-9s, saw The Ballers won a close game, 68-64.

In the Travel League, Binghamton Blue lost to a very strong Owego team last Wednesday at the Johnson City YMCA, 49-23. On Sunday, Binghamton White fell behind early to Seton Catholic, then mounted a solid, late comeback that fell just short. White lost to SCC, 41-38.

Welcome to our Newest Player

Welcome Diggston Davis, our newest Travel Basketball player. Diggston is the younger brother of Kaziah Ross ... and he was born on November 13 at a whopping 8 pounds, 10 ounces (and 20.5 inches).

Word has it that between feedings and naps, Mommy Marchae has Diggston working on some (simple) ball-handling drills.

Looking forward to seeing him at games this season.

Weekend Activity

In a busy weekend, here are a few notes from travel ball:

Binghamton Red travelled over to Norwich and came home with a 40-30 win over their sixth-grade team. Kobe Bogart led the Red squad with 22 points, while Vito Ferranti scored 13 for the team’s first league win.

Players from Binghamton White and Blue combined for a Saturday afternoon scrimmage at Carlisle with a newly formed older travel team. The older players got the better of it from a scoring standpoint, but it was a good workout for all the kids involved.

Binghamton White played a Sunday afternoon game at Seton Catholic Central, and lost 39-24. White played the game with seven players, and after a sluggish start, played the second half with better energy. Here are stats we have from this game:
