Cortland County High School Basketball Game Recaps (Feb. 16th)

Here are some local varsity basketball recaps from yesterday's games:

McGraw vs. Cincinnatus Varsity Girls Basketball

The McGraw varsity girls basketball team defeated Cincinnatus for the second time this season. 

McGraw now holds a 2-0 record, while Cincy falls to 0-2. 

The McGraw Eagles started the game with an early 17-2 lead in the first quarter, as they made it extremely difficult for Cincy to get the ball up the floor. 

Most of Mcgraw’s points were generated off steals and turnovers. 

“We did a great job in transitioning, running the floor and finding easy looks,” said McGraw Head Coach Corey Wilson. “Our team does a great job creating confidence for one another.”

McGraw senior Emily Fish led the Eagles with 19 points, while fellow senior Karissa Wilbur scored 16 points. 

Cortland Varsity Boys Basketball vs. PSLA @ Fowler

The Cortland Tigers defeated PSLA (Public Service Leadership Academy) at Fowler in a close 54-50 game on the road. 

Senior Noah Armstrong led the Tigers with 19 points, while Colter Gohs and Max Gambitta both scored 11 points each to help give the Tigers the win. 

PSLA was led by Jaden Reyes with 15 points. 

Up next, the Tigers (1-1l) will host PSLA on Thursday, February 18th at 7pm.
