Binghamton White scrimmages Vestal
Click here to go directly to team schedules
While Binghamton 5-6 White was outscored by Vestal over the course of several five-minute periods Thursday night at the Endicott Boys & Girl Club, there were several encouraging items to report from this scrimmage/practice situation. In no particular order:
* Our starting five outscored Vestal's starting five over the first five minutes of the game, 10-2. Fairly impressive, considering Vestal has nine roster players, all of whom are AAU-level players. Will Gladney scored 4 in that period, while Nate Gaster, Roberto Jensen and Kyeem Holmes each scored 2. The most impressive thing was holding Vestal to a single bucket.
* We had other five-minute stretches during which we outscored Vestal (3-2 and 6-4), and a few where we were very competitive (being outscored just 3-2 and 6-5).
Our team of five that outscored Vestal 3-2 over five minutes was: Matt Collins-Pringle, Devin Young, Will Gladney, Devin Weldon and Andy Garcia. The group that outscored Vestal 6-4 over five minutes was: Yosef Baker, Devin Young, Milton Jimenez, Jonah Chambers and Andy Garcia.
The group that was outscored by Vestal just 3-2 was: Devin Weldon, Will Gladney, Yosef Baker, Devin Young and Andy Garcia. The group that was outscored just 6-5 was: Nate Gaster, Latrel McFarlane, Will Gladney, Jordan Bideaux and Yosef Baker.
There were a few other periods of play, though, where the closest we could get was 9-5, 10-4 and 11-6. All-in-all, though, I think the boys had a very good scrimmage, especially considering that Vestal squad is head-and-shoulders the best team in our league this year.
* Will Gladney returned to action for our program for the first time since he was in fourth grade. It was nice to have him back, as he contributed right away, leading the team in scoring (15 points) and grabbing 10 rebounds.
* Yosef Baker also returned to game action, in very impressive fashion. Yosef grabbed 8 rebounds and was a demon inside for us. Most impressive was his one-on-one defense against Vestal's big man (#5) inside. Yosef played a fantastic game defensively, and if we were to choose a "defensive player of the game" in this situation, it was Yosef, very clearly.
* We had 10 of our 13 players score in this scrimmage, and everyone appears in the box score, making team contributions.
Statistics:
* Will Gladney – 15 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, 3 blocks (1-for-2 on free throws)

Click here to go directly to team schedules
Binghamton Blue 39, Whitney Point 18
Binghamton 5-6 Blue built a 14-4 first-quarter lead and never looked back in the team's 39-18 victory Saturday at the Johnson City YMCA.
Khalil Mathias and Kameron Crimmins provided a strong inside-outside combination early on to build the initial lead, but the scrappy Whitney Point team wouldn't go away. Point's solid defense, combined with sloppy play from Binghamton Blue, which did not score in the second quarter, allowed Point to creep back to within 14-8 at halftime.
Blue emerged strong in the third quarter, though, pulling away to a 26-14 lead heading into the final 8 minutes of play. In the fourth, Gabriel Whiteman, a third-grader playing for the 5-6 team, made steals on three successive Whitney Point possessions, helping Blue build its lead to 32-14. Binghamton closed the game with a 7-2 run for the final margin.

White squad overcomes halftime deficit for win
Binghamton 5-6 White trailed 24-13 at halftime, but rallied with a superb defense effort in the final two quarters to get a 46-41 win at Athens (Pa.) Friday night.
Down 11 points at intermission, the third quarter began for Binghamton with Devin Weldon and Milton Jimenez picking up Athens guards at half-court. The additional pressure applied, combined with Binghamton's inside players recognizing Athens screens and making smart defensive switches, made the difference. Specifically, with less room and time to maneuver in the front-court, the Weldon/Jimenez pressure forced several Athen passes, many into the quick, waiting hands of Kyeem Holmes (Binghamton Defensive Player of the Game).
The result was a 9-2 run in the third quarter that got put Binghamton ahead for the first time in the contest, 30-28. Latrel McFarlane ignited the comeback with two inside baskets, and Nate Gaster hit two free throws to get White within 5 (at 26-21). Holmes scored on the inside (26-23) and a Gaster bucket held the line (28-25). A Gaster free throw got it to 28-26 before Jimenez tied it (28-28). It was a Jimenez inside move that put Binghamton in the lead for the first time (30-28).
Trailing 34-30 just into the fourth quarter, Gaster and Holmes baskets tied it again. Athens scored, and McFarlane answered (36-36). But a well coached Athens group kept coming, getting an inside bucket, adding a free throw to take a 39-36 lead.
It was at that point that the Binghamton full-court press went into play and White went on a 10-2 run to finish the contest.
Holmes scored to get it back to 39-38, and McFarlane's bucket gave White a 40-39 lead. Athens answered to re-capture the lead with less than 2 minutes remaining, but Binghamton had momentum, taking the lead for good on one of the game's more exciting plays.
Holmes drove to the basket, left side, appeared to get fouled, missed the shot and fell to the floor. The ball was loose and Gaster got a hand on it, sending it Holmes' way. Still on his back, Holmes reeled in the basketball and three Athens players jumped in, but not before Holmes alertly spotted Roberto Jensen, open on the low right-side block. Holmes zipped the ball to Jensen, who banked it home (42-41) with 58 seconds remaining.
Binghamton got a stop at the other end and McFarlane's slashing basket gave White a 44-41 lead at the 25-second mark. The Binghamton press then forced an Athens turnover, and Jensen, initially looking to run out the clock, suddenly found a wide-open Jimenez down-court for a fast-break lay-up (46-41) with 8 seconds left.
Athens outscored White 14-7 and 10-6 in the first and second quarters. Binghamton then outscored Athens in the third quarter 17-8, holding a 16-9 edge in the fourth, as well.

Girls win a tough game against SV
The girls played a game Saturday morning (December 26) against a team from Susquehanna Valley, coming away with a hard-fought 22-18 victory.
Binghamton's slow start saw them behind 6-0 midway through the first quarter before Suehaidee Masso scored on an inside basket. Masso hit a free throw toward the end of the quarter to get Binghamton within 6-3.
Gracie Jensen's inside basket just into the second quarter got Binghamton within 6-5 before SV scored again (8-5). Masso made another free throw, and Rory Pelella scored at the end of the half to tie the game at 8-each.
In the second half, it was Masso's muscle underneath that purt Binghamton over the top, as she scored 10 of her game-high 14 points after intermission.

Binghamton loses in tourney; Holmes honored
Some days you have it, some you don't.
Playing a Susquehanna Valley team it had beaten twice before by a combined 83-67 points, Binghamton never got its game jumpstarted Tuesday night in the semifinal round of the Johnson City Holiday Tournament, losing to SV, 54-28.
The game was littered with interesting officiating and a comparative number that was startling: SV shot 38 foul shots (making 20). Binghamton went to the line just seven times (and made two).
Binghamton committed numerous early turnovers as SV went ahead 5-2, but Binghamton hung around to tie the game at 8-all about midway through the first half. SV then went on a 16-8 run to lead at the half, 24-12.
In the second half, Binghamton couldn't put together a run of its own, as SV slowly built its lead.
After the game, Kyeem Holmes was called to center court and presented with a nice plaque, as he was named to the All-Tournament Team. Holmes averaged 13.2 points, 12.8 rebounds, 4.2 steals, 3 blocked shots and 1.8 assists in the five games.
Statistics:
* Kyeem Holmes - 14 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 5 steals, 2 blocks (2-for-3 on free throws)
* Latrel McFarlane - 4 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 steals
* Nate Gaster - 4 points, 8 rebounds, 4 blocks - fouled out (0-for-2 on free throws)
* Devin Young - 2 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 block (o-for-1 on free throws)
* Yosef Baker - 2 points, 6 rebounds, 1 steal, 2 blocks
* Andy Garcia - 2 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist
* Milton Jimenez - 2 rebounds
* Roberto Jensen - 1 assist (0-for-1 on free throws)
* Jordan Bideaux - 1 steal
* Jonah Chambers - fouled out
* Team free throws - 2-for-7
* SV free throws - 20-for-38

White wins to advance to tourney playoff round
Binghamton 5-6 White advanced to tonight's playoff round of the Johnson City Holiday Tournament with a hard-fought 43-39 win over Whitney Point Monday night.
No. 4 seed Binghamton (2-2 in tourney play) plays No. 1 seed Susquehanna Valley (3-1) at 7:45 p.m. today (Tuesday) at the Johnson City Middle School. Binghamton handed SV its only tournament loss Saturday afternoon, 42-40.
Binghamton never trailed in this game, holding a 7-point lead in the first half, a 21-15 cushion at halftime, and a 12-point advantage (41-29) with about five minutes to play. But a pesky WP team, led by point guard Josh Dean, stayed within range, cutting the Binghgamton lead to 42-39 with 1:39 left.
