Dryden Hoops Beats Class B Windsor with help of Gardner 3/4 court heave at end of regualtion

Boys basketball
Dryden 68, Windsor 59: On Saturday at Windsor, Dryden sophomore guard Trevor Gardner banked in a three-quarter-court shot at the buzzer to send the game to overtime, and the Purple Lions (10-5) rode the wave of momentum to a non-league victory.
Six-foot-6 junior Ali Abel-Ferretti led the winners with 19 points and 12 rebounds, while 6-4 junior Stuart Stahlman chipped in 15 points and Gardner 13.
The Purple Lions — who defeated IAC rival Lansing on Friday, 61-35 — trailed the Black Knights by as many as 14 points in the fourth quarter before rallying.
Windsor’s Mike Beebe (21 points) made two free throws to give Windsor a 57-54 lead with 1.7 seconds to play in the fourth. The Black Knights then called a timeout to set up their defense for Dryden’s last-second shot. The Purple Lions had hoped to get the ball to Abel-Ferretti, but he was closely guarded near the mid-court line, so Kyle Burvee’s inbounds pass instead went to Gardner in the backcourt.
Gardner took one dribble and let fly, and the ball banked in off the backboard to send the game to overtime, which Dryden dominated, 11-2. (there is video of this some where)
“Windsor defended well on the final possession of regulation,” Dryden coach Kim Brown said. “Trevor just happened to make an incredible shot.”
In Friday’s win over Lansing, Stahlman and Gardner led the way for Dryden (7-3 IAC) with 16 and 10 points, respectively. Six-foot-3 sophomore Zach Walker had 13 points for the Bobcats (6-6, 3-6 IAC).
Dryden hosts Groton on Monday

Dryden boys top Trumansburg in key divisional contest

Ithaca Journal

The Dryden boys dealt Trumansburg’s North Large Division title hopes a serious blow on Wednesday night as the Purple Lions scored a big 65-54 road victory in Interscholastic Athletic Conference play.


The Dryden boys’ basketball team dealt Trumansburg’s hopes for a division title a severe blow as junior big men Ali Abel-Ferretti and Stuart Stahlman led the way in the Purple Lions’ 65-54 over the Blue Raiders on Wednesday night at Somerville Gym in Trumansburg.
The 6-foot-6 Abel-Ferretti had 20 points and rebounds while the 6-4 Stahlman had a double-double with 19 points and 10 boards for Dryden (8-5 overall, 7-3 IAC), which outscored T-burg 21-15 in the fourth quarter to salt away the victory.
T-burg was led by Austin Grunder, who collected a game-high 25 points. The 6-3 sophomore scored 40 in the teams’ first meeting, a 65-60 Trumansburg victory on Jan. 9 in Dryden. Trevor Rumsey chipped in 13 points for the Blue Raiders (9-4, 6-3), who fell 21/2 games behind undefeated Whitney Point (14-0, 8-0) in the IAC North Large Division with just three games remaining.
Trumansburg, which dropped a half-game behind Dryden in the division, travels to Whitney Point Friday night. A Golden Eagles victory would all but assure them the division championship and a berth in the Large School title game in two weeks.
Dryden raced out to an early 8-2 lead and finished the first quarter ahead, 18-15. The Lions were up at halftime, 33-27, but turned the ball over on seven consecutive possession in the third quarter as the Blue Raiders stayed within striking distance.
*Early in the third, a back injury to T-burg’s Luke Richards halted the game for more than 20 minutes. After the long delay, Stahlman made two free throws to put the Lions up, 39-34; he finished 7-for-9 from the foul line.
Blue Raiders’ guard Danny Lapp suffered a shoulder injury in the first half; both he and Richards are “doubtful” for Friday’s game, head coach Jeff Richards said Thursday.
In Wednesday’s JV game, Trumansburg tied the game at the end of regulation on a 3-pointer at the buzzer, and won in overtime, 62-53.
Dryden hosts Lansing on Friday.

 *Correction to above - Danny Lapp's shoulder injury halted the game for 20 minutes with about 3:30 left in the third.   Richards injury was a few minutes later and he left the court and gym under his own power.
