Westhill Forward Tyler Reynolds goes for two of his game-high 23 points.
There was a lot of hype for the Westhill v. CBA matchup last night,but it was Westhill who quickly seized control and went up by double digits in the first quarter. Jordan Roland and Tyler Reynolds led the Westhill attack with 16 and 23 respectively. Westhill won 65-51.
CBA was led by Dan Damico with 15 and there were some timely buckets by Monte Stroman and Charles Pride, but Westhill essentially dominated this Section III matchup from the opening tip.
CBA guard Monte Stroman hit three-three pointers but tried to take the ball to the bucket more in the second half.
Jordan Roland finished with 16.

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.

Henninger point guard Romero Collier (4) blows by Jordan Roland in yesterday’s game versus Westhill.
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).
Jordan Roland hits a three-pointer in the first half. He finished with a game-high 31 points.
Keisean Scott gets a put back in the third quarter.
Henninger’s Shaitique Blatche carves out some space in the post during the first half. He finished with 17 points.

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.

Hoop star Breanna Stewart (from her CNS days)
She’s been called the Kevin Durant of women’s game (although Durant doesn’t have her college resume), but maybe the best way describe Breanna Stewart is passion meets talent. Before it’s said and done she will probably be the most decorated baller from this area (currently she’s a close second to Dolph Schayes).
We wonder who will design her signature shoe once she goes pro?

Former Henninger High star Marcus Douthit (left) along with former UConn Huskie Taliek Brown (right) participated in a free basketball clinic for Filipino youth in Queens on Columbus Day.
The clinic was hosted by Team FOOTPRINTZ and training pro Mark Williams.
We did some further research and found that Brown, who won a NCAA championship in 2004, almost went to SU back in the day.
Special thanks to SIF Advisory Board Member Alton Ritter for sharing this image from the clinic.

Swoop: Ball Tricks
James Brown had nothing on Dwayne Swoop Simpson. The triple-zero uniform-wearing entertainer for the Harlem Wizards is officially the “hardest working man in show business (at the Fair).”
For the past week, we saw Simpson do tricks, teach salsa lessons, play some great classic soul and rock music as a DJ, drum up business for local vendors, take photographs with fans, nearly get a double-double in wheelchair basketball, and just plain make a vocation look like fun outside the Sports Activity Center.
On this Labor Day, we salute his work ethic.

2014 Gus Macker 3-on-3 Tournament: Mascot Game
A funny thing happened at the Gus Macker 3-on-3 Tournament on Saturday: CNY-area mascots held a battle royal of sorts. Each team had a pep squad (Syracuse Silver Knights Cheerleaders and the Gus Macker Girls), and the game had the pageantry of a celebrity all-star contest, punctuated by the spirit of WWE and SlamBall.
Even Bighead Bob (mascot for Bob Antonacci) cheered from the sidelines.
Mascot Battle 2K14
There wasn’t much basketball purity (unless you included the scoring prowess of the Syracuse Silver Knight, who played out of his costume and one point and should have received the MVP), but it was like watching a video game come to life.
The fans seemed to love it.
