Class B Boys First Round
No. 6 Dryden at No. 3 Chenango Valley
In a lower bracket, the Lions would have had a home game, however, as a Class B team Dryden will head out to Chenango Valley on Wednesday. The team had a strong season and a win over potential sectional champion Moravia earlier in the year is proof that this team can beat anyone. Bryan Norman is the lead dog on this offense, but the team will likely need to turn to others as well to have success in the sectional tournament. The one nice thing about the smaller tournament size is that Dryden is only two wins from the finals.
Class C Boys First Round
Games at 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
No. 6 Lansing hosts No. 11 Bainbridge-Guilford
Lansing narrowly missed out on a division championship and will have had a week’s worth of practice in hand when they take back to the court. The Bobcats’ second half of the season wasn’t as impressive as their first half, but they were still a strong team that can play with any team in the Class C Bracket.
No. 9 Spencer-Van Etten at No. 8 Odessa-Montour
Thanks to a good run at the end of the season, Spencer-Van Etten pulled the seed immediately below the champions of their shared IAC South Small School Division, Odessa-Montour. Spencer-Van Etten matches up fairly well with O-M and the Panthers will do all they can to pull off the slight upset.
No. 12 Newfield at No. 4 Greene
Newfield had a tough stretch of games to close the season and this game should be just as tough. It will be interesting to see if this scrappy Trojans team has become battle hardened from that stretch. In any case, the fact that neither team is familiar with the other could be a help or hindrance to either team.
