ITHACA ( from Ithaca Journal)— If the morning frost or first Christmas decorations haven’t given it away already, make no mistake — winter is here.
And for many, that brings one thing to mind: it’s basketball season.
In the Interscholastic Athletic Conference, that means it’s time for championships to be defended and challenges to be mounted.
If last season is any indication, being the last team standing in your division in 2012-13 will be no cakewalk.
Last winter,
Groton at one point won 18 consecutive games on its way to unseating
defending Small School North division champion Moravia. Waverly also
rode a long winning-streak to division supremacy, extending a run of 17
consecutive home victories — which the Wolverines carry over into the
new campaign — to maintain its place atop the Large South division for a
second year running.
After
a year away from the top, Edison returned as the class of the Small
South division, winning its second title in four years, while Dryden
successfully played the role of surprise team, going from last to first
in the Large School North division in one year’s time.
Who will streak itself to a division title this time around? Whose days at the top are numbered?
The
following team-by-team preview should give you a pretty good idea
(records represent regular season only), but chances are we will have to
wait until well into the new year to get any answers.
