Purple Lions perk up to top host Olympians

Cortland Standard

After falling behind host Marathon Central boys 19-17 after the opening quarter, Dryden High coach Kim Brown directed his Purple Lions to get the ball inside to their big men.
Ali Abel-Ferretti scored nine of his team’s 19 points during second-quarter play, while the 6-foot-6 center and 6-foot-4 Stu Stahlman netted 14 of the team’s 16 third-quarter points as the Purple Lions pulled away for a 70-58 Interscholastic Athletic Conference North Division victory over the host Olympians Friday in McDonald Gymnasium.
Abel-Ferretti finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds in Dryden’s first win of the season. Stahlman added 12 and six rebounds with Trevor Gardner netting 14 points for the Purple Lions (1-1 overall).
“I thought we might come out a little sluggish as we had not practiced the last three days due to after-school activities being cancelled, along with a snow day,” Brown said of the slow first quarter start. “We settled for too many deep jump shots and failed to defend the basketball well.
“We did a much better job getting Ali touches in the second quarter,” he continued. “Kyle Burvee and Matt McHerron gave us great minutes in the first half. Kyle accounted for seven points, while Matt made great decisions with the basketball which resulted in easy looks.”
“Ali did a great job in the post,” Marathon coach Jim Holland stated. “They fed him the ball well and he got some nice put backs. He really was the difference in the game along with Stahlman.”
Dryden turned that two-point deficit into a 52-47 lead through three quarters and pulled away some more in the fourth quarter.
Ryan Tillotson kept Marathon (1-2) in the contest with 28 points, including seven 3-pointers. Matt Tebbe added 12 points to the Olympians’ cause.
“Ryan did keep us in the game for three quarters,” Holland said. “Of course, we missed six uncontested lay-ups and we lost by 12 points.”
“We could never get the lead to extend past eleven points and that was due to timely shooting by Marathon,” Brown added “The Tillotson kid shoots the ball very well. I was even more impressed with the way he hustled back on defense and never once celebrated his made shots. Humble players are a rarity in today’s game.”
Gardner would make five of six free throws late in the game to secure the victory.
Dryden will face a stiff test Tuesday as the Purple Lions travel to Whitney Point for a big North Large School showdown. Marathon will hit the road as well with a trip to Southern Cayuga.
In other IAC North outings last night, Moravia was a 61-40 winner over Lansing while Trumansburg got the best of Southern Cayuga 42-38.
IN IAC GIRLS’ PLAY —
Dryden 40, Marathon 27: After holding a 17-16 halftime lead, Dryden High outscored visiting Marathon 23-11 in the second halftime to pull away for the win.
The Purple Lions led 26-20 through three quarters before a 14-7 advantage in the final quarter doubled the scoring gap between the two teams.
Maggie Cole led the Purple Lions with nine points. Keri Daley added eight points and Erin Daley netted seven points for the winners.
Megan Contri topped the Marathon scoring list with nine points. Cassidy Marsh chipped in with eight points.
Dryden will host Whitney Point in IAC action Tuesday while Marathon will entertain Southern Cayuga.
On IAC North couts last night, Marissa Hingston scored 23 points as Moravia nipped Lansing 41-35 to off-set a 24-point showing by Shea McCarthy. Jessica Cafferty had 23 points as Whitney Point beat Union Springs 57-36, and Southern Cayuga trimmed Trumansburg 46-41.
