From the Coach Varsity Boys Basketball - Whitney Point



From the Coach:
1/17 VBB:  Dryden fell to 4-4 in IAC play and 6-5 overall with a 59-49 loss to Whitney Point.  Dryden was led by sophomore Ali Abel-Ferretti who had 15 points and 11 rebounds.  Junior Noah Welgoss added 12 points, while freshman Trevor Gardner added 11.  Whitney Point got a career-high 32 points from Gabe Shraugger.  Dryden would lead 20-17 after the first quarter, and 32-30 at the break.  "I thought our gameplan was working well defensively on the Marsh kid, but we allowed the Shraugger kid to get post position which was too deep."  Dryden would lead 45-42 entering the fourth quarter.  Dryden would get outscore 17-4 in the fourth quarter.  "We tightened up in the fourth quarter.  It was similar to what happened versus Chenango Valley on Monday.  However we were fortunate enough to have a significant lead, and were able to hang on for a close victory."  "Give credit to the Shraugger kid.  He played tough the entire night.  His deep post position allowed for easy catches and finishes.  We have got to do a better job defending bigs in the future."  "Ross Cole and Thad LeViere did an outstanding job defensively in our box-n-1, 1-3."  Dryden JV's lost as well.  Dryden hosts Trumansburg Tuesday.
