ITHACA — With just three games left in the regular season,
Whitney Point and Lansing are in a dogfight atop the Interscholastic Athletic
Conference Large North Division, with red-hot Dryden not far behind.
The results of Friday night’s intra-division matchups might have a say in
who ultimately advances to the Large School final, slated for 8 p.m. Thursday,
Feb. 14, at Tompkins Cortland Community College. The Eagles (12-2, 11-2 IAC,
3-1 division) are a half-game ahead of the Bobcats (11-2, 10-2, 3-1) in the
overall standings, and face a stiff test tonight against visiting Dryden.
The Purple Lions (10-4, 10-3, 2-2) are coming off a 45-point drubbing of
Southern Cayuga and have won four straight and nine of their last 10, including
a 67-65 defeat of previously unbeaten Moravia on Jan. 15.
Lansing heads around the lake to take on traditional rival Trumansburg
(0-15, 0-4 division), which is coming off a 47-26 loss on Wednesday to Newark
Valley in the rescheduled consolation game of the Fred Caliel Tournament. The
Cardinals were led by Ryan Coleman’s 17 points, while Zachary Kenney had seven
for the Blue Raiders, who’ve been held to 40 points or fewer eight times this
season.
Elsewhere in the IAC North, it’s Groton (4-9, 2-4 Small North) at Moravia
(11-2, 6-0), which has clinched the Small North Division, and Southern Cayuga
(6-7, 2-3) at Union Springs (4-10, 1-5).
In the South, a key Large School clash will pit Notre Dame (13-1, 9-0 IAC,
3-0 Large South) against host Watkins Glen (11-2, 8-1, 3-1). Other contests
feature Waverly (10-4) at Newark Valley (2-11), Edison (4-10) at Newfield (7-7,
6-2 Small South), Tioga (0-13) at Odessa-Montour (11-3, 8-0 Small South) and
Spencer-Van Etten (7-6) at Candor (3-10).
