Just two nights removed from their first win over Lyons in seven years, the 3-0 Red Creek Rams hosted #3 North Rose-Wolcott on Thursday night in a key early season Wayne County League match-up. In a battle of junior point guards, it was Tyler Norris’ Cougars who took care of business on the road defeating Nick Klein’s Rams 55-39.The win puts NR-W atop the league standings with East Rochester who defeated Lyons by just 2 points in the Atwood Gymnasium on Thursday thanks to 20 points from Keith Butler and a late fourth quarter steal and transition bucket that produced the two-point margin. Williamson also picked up a win over Sodus in Wayne County action.
Also on Thursday night, the Finger Lakes East took a beating during the opening night of the Dale Bardun Memorial Tournament in Victor. #4 Newark opened their season with a 77-52 loss to Wilson despite seven three pointers by junior guard Brian Sharp (pictured, photo by Jim Miranda). Wilson held a 36-28 halftime lead but saw that evaporate as Newark bounced back to take a 45-44 lead with 3:33 left in the third. Wilson went on a 11-3 run to close out the third and never trailed again.Geneva didn’t fare much better against host Victor who dispatched with the Panthers 51-41 sending Brian Miller’s squad to 0-2 to start their season, Mynderse was also on the court again Thursday night at Rochester Academy CS where they moved to 3-0 after a 30 point win.Full results, standings, and upcoming schedule below…Newark 62, Wilson-Magnet 77 (at Baldun Tourney)NEW (0-1) – Brian Sharp 31 (7-3pt)WM (2-0) – Robert Davis 24; Geneva 41, Victor 51 (at Baldun Tourney)GEN (0-2) – TrayShawn Ross 10; Marquan Ross 9VIC (1-1) – Michael Novitsky 13; Jacob DiSanto 12Mynderse 64, Rochester Academy CS 34MYN (3-0) – Jake Mein 18, 11 reb; Kyle Ruddy 11, Ben Cafolla 8, 11 rebRAC – (0-2) Lakyll Hall 14East Rochester 59, Lyons 57 ER – (2-0) Keith Butler 20; Ty Jones 14; Casey Michele 11LYO (0-3) – Devan Franklin 16; Justice Smith 14 (9/10 FTs) North Rose-Wolcott 55, Red Creek 39NRW (3-0) – Tyler Norris 21; Garrett Hoyt 10RCK – (3-1) Nick Klein 15; Willie Meyer 11, 12 rebSodus 44, Williamson 51 SOD (0-2) – Andrew Hines 14WIL – (1-1) Jack Devendorf 14; Nigel Cobb 14In W-FL Girls Varsity Action…Bloomfield took out Honeoye 44-18 behind 14 points and 18 rebounds from Braelin Scott.
