Here are some key buckets by junior swingman Joshua Annan in a third quarter run during Friday’s MPH victory over Lafayette. The final score was 65-61.

The sound clip is from one of our all-time favorite Syracuse artists, Seth Marcel. We first heard this song on the television show Entourage.

There can only be one number one team.

Henninger took control of Saturday’s highly-anticipated Section III battle with Westhill early using hustle plays and rebounding.  They reduced the Westhill dyamic duo of Roland and Reynolds to a solo show by Roland (who finished with 31). The final score was 59-48.

The game was held at Onondaga Community College (OCC).

Sophomore Surprise

Nottingham High School Point Guard Malik Zachery is on the rise this season.

Nottingham High School point guard Malik Zachery is on the rise this season.  He finished with 19 points yesterday in a win over Corcoran.

During yesterday’s 72-67 win over Nottingham Sophomores Malik Zachery and Jevon Jones made the difference (despite a monster game by Corcoran Jr. Marquis Gilbert). Zachery, who handles the ball like Steph Curry and has a first step like Tommy Gunn, darted through the Corcoran defense with ease and Jones proved to be a big-time finisher, especially in the second half.

The future looks bright for the Coach Jones’s team this season.
