From the Coach DHS Website JV Girls Hoops v Whitney Pount
JV Girls Basketball vs. Whitney Point 12/18
The
JV girls basketball team improved their record to 4-2 against Whitney
Point with a final score 20-11. It was another good road win for the
girls last night. Offensively the ball just would not go in for us all
night. We had some nice looks, but had a hard time converting on some
easy shots. Defensively we held Whitney Point with only two field goals
in the first half coming late in the second quarter. I thought the girls
communicated
well on defense. Mackenzie Weaver led the team with 9pts and Lill Lynch
finished with 6pts. The girls play again home against Trumansburg this
Friday.

JV Girls Basketball vs. Southern Cayuga 12/17
The
JV girls improved their record to 3-2 with a win Friday night at
Southern Cayuga. It was the girls first away win of the season. The team
made some great plays especially on the offensive side of the ball.
Passing was a major concern at the beginning of the season and its
something the girls have worked on everyday in practice. The girls made
some great passes throughout the game that allowed for easy points. We
were able to make some
good passes also during our transitions. On the offensive side the girls
attacked the basket and allowed us to go 36 times to the foul line.
Lill Lynch was the top scorer with 16pts and Maggie Cole added 12 pts
and Taylor Bennett with 9pts. The girls play again Tuesday at Whitney
Point.

Gage Ellis - Five Questions - 12/06/2012
From Ithaca Journal -
http://www.theithacajournal.com/article/20121205/SPORTS0502/312050087/Five-Questions-Senior-Gage-Ellis-trying-stay-top?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|Sports&nclick_check=1
DRYDEN — From last to first.
That’s what the Dryden High boys basketball team did a year ago, going from the cellar of the Interscholastic Athletic Conference’s North Large division in 2009-10 to winning it last season.
As senior standout Gage Ellis and the rest of the Lions are already finding out in the early season, however, being the hunted is a lot tougher than being the hunter.
Dryden is off to a 1-2 start this season, winning its season opener, 71-68, at defending IAC Small North division champion Groton before dropping a 57-48 home decision to division foe Lansing last Friday and a 50-48 thriller to Moravia on Tuesday.
And just as there is no more sneaking up on opponents for the Lions this year, none of Dryden’s opponents this winter will be likely to leave the 6-foot-5 Ellis off of their scouting reports.
A first-team North Division all-star last season and a four-year varsity player, Ellis poured in 20 points and five rebounds in the season opener, adding 15 points against the rival Bobcats and 12 more in Tuesday’s loss to the Blue Devils.
In the first winter installment of “Five Questions,” we ask Ellis about his partnership with classmate Bryan Norman, which professional athlete he looks up to and how Moravia fits into his fondest basketball memory:
Which team do you consider your biggest rival?
Lansing is the No. 1 team that we need to beat next time we play against them. (Last week) it was neck and neck all the way down to the fourth quarter and we just lost it.
What is your on- and off-court relationship with teammate Bryan Norman (14.6 ppg.)?
I’ve known him ever since I moved here in sixth grade. He’s a great player. We play well together. We’ve played on the same team and played the same way ever since modified. Off the court, we’re just great friends. We have practically every class together as well, so it’s nice.
What has changed since your team won the division last season?
Since last year, me and Norman pretty much have targets on our backs this year, from every team we’re playing against. I know that we lost Friday against Lansing which was a divisional game, and one thing I believe we have to work on since last year would be defense.
Is there a professional basketball player you fashion your game after?
Kevin Garnett. I know he’s not a good player to look up to because of the whole fighting thing and what not, but I’ve looked up to him ever since modified.
What is your fondest basketball memory?
Dunking on Dylan Powers from Moravia last year, at home.
