White Team 3-2 in JC Holiday Tourney

The Binghamton White Travel Team went 3-2 in the JC Holiday Tournament, despite competing with just 6 players in its final two games. White lost a very close contest to one Seton team, 61-56, a game in which Tyshawn High scored 29 points and had 15 rebounds. High, however, was not available to play in the team's next two tournament games.

The remaining six players, however, stuck together and played a very strong game, defeating a scrappy Athens team, 39-19, to advance to the playoffs. But playing back-to-back games, and again, with just 6 players available, another Seton team knocked off White, 50-35.

In the Athens game, Jordan McGahy, suffering from an infected toe, battled to 21 points and 23 rebounds. McGahy ended the tournament tied with Brandon Sprouse for team-high scoring honors, but McGahy led the team in rebounding for the weekend to earn a spot representing White on the All-Tournament Team.

Also during the tournament's Skills Challenge:
* Devin Tyler finished 2nd in the obstacle course (speed, dribbling, shooting)
* Gracie Jensen won the free throw competition
* White won the Team 3-Point Competition, as they defeated Chenango Valley in the final. Team members who took part in the 3-point contest were: Gabe Whiteman, Tyshawn High, Brandon Sprouse, Jordan McGahy, Erik Smith, Jaylin Ragsdale and Manny Scott.
