Apr 11, 2018
The Bulldogs made 12 three-pointers to counter Kennedy and Lambert.Westmoreland's Luke Fredsell scored a team-high 28 points, including a game-high six three-pointers. Devon Slaboe (2), Zach Stephens (3) and Isiah Peck (1) combined for six three-pointers of their own for the Bulldogs.Kennedy grabbed 18 rebounds and blocked two shots to go with his game-high 29 points.The two teams played to a 38-38 tie in the first half, but 13 second-half points from Fredsell helped the Bulldogs seal the win.The Hawkeyes struggled to take care of the ball and finished with 22 turnovers.Noah Lifgren scored eight points and grabbed nine rebounds for Cooperstown.Kennedy and Lambert were the only Hawkeyes to finish in double figures.Chenango Forks 64, Delhi 58 (OT)Nate Craft became the first male player in history to hit 1,000 points for Delhi in its game against Chenango Forks on Tuesday night.Craft, who entered the game needing only 13 more points to reach the mark, scored 22 by the end of the game. What makes the feat even more impressive is that he had done so, head coach Warren Kelly said, “the old fashioned way” in that he hasn't hit a single three-pointer over his career.“We are all very proud of Nate, and he's worked extremely hard to reach this goal,” Kelly said. “He knows he wouldn't have been able to make it without some great teammates. But really, we are so proud of him.”Despite this accomplishment, Chenango Forks walked away with the win after a 10-4 run in overtime. Chenango Forks was led by Matthew Paske with 13 points. Teammate Stephen Shephard scored 12 points, including one 3-pointer.Cristian Aloisio scored 16 points for Delhi, which included 100 percent (4-for-4) at the free-throw line.
