Dryden Boys Swim @ Chenago Valley - More tweets

Busy Week for Dryden Athletics

Mr. Boettger was busy Tweeting from several events the past few days.  (see photo) . The JV girls Basketball Team won the Trumansburg Tournament and the Varsity Girls won the consolation game.

The Boys Varsity Hoops team lost a tough one by 3 to Marathon in the opening round of the Cortland Holiday Tourney.  They followed that up with a win by 3 over Homer the next night.  The JV's lost to their nemesis Marathon in the opening round by 9.  I have a good feeling about the re-match in 12 days. (photos from Marathon) The second day brought Homer.  They lost by 2 to a good team.  Dryden had a chance to tie at the buzzer.  (photos from Homer, :-) those really are our guys in Cortland Jerseys :-) )

JV's learn from slow start - Control Game from the Start

The Lions converted for a layup on the opening tip and never looked back.  Combining a ferocious press and unselfish offensive play, the junior Lions continued the intensity that helped them win by 10 in overtime versus Lansing on Tuesday.

Next up for the JV's is Marathon in a 1pm tip on Tuesday the 27th.  The Varsity will play Marathon at 5:30pm later that day.

JV Boys fight back to force OT - Win by 10

The JV boys basketball team started slow Tuesday evening.  Finding themselves down by 14 points a one time in the second half.  They took took a 2 point lead with under a minute left.  Lansing called timeout and got the equalizer basket moments later.  A last second attempt by the junior Lions fell short as the 4th quarter ended.

Lions Celebrate OT Victory

After winning the tip, Dryden got a quick layup and never looked back.  They used free throws at the end of the extra period to seal the win.  Outscoring Lansing 14-4 in the final 4 minutes.

Both teams play Groton tonight at home before heading into Christmas break.  The JV game starts at 6pm.  They will be back in action on Tuesday as they return to the Cortland Holiday Tournament.  Marathon (a re-scheduled league game) will be their first opponent and a good test for both teams.  Second round games will take place Wednesday.  Times TBA.
