Fan to Fantastic

Tyler Sullivan, the fan, cheers on his old team on Saturday.

Former Liverpool guard Tyler Sullivan was in the stands to cheer on his former team at the Peppino’s Tournament last night. Liverpool was thumped by Ludden in front of a packed crowd.

Today, however, Sullivan came to ball. The Onondaga Community College freshman played a solid floor game and stuffed the stat sheet with a 19 point performance in 29 minutes of action. He shot 56 percent from the field, including 2 of 4 from three, and 78 percent from the line. He also added five assists and five steals. Quantae Elijah poured in 20 points as well.

Tyler Sullivan (the baller) takes it to the hole for two in the second half of today's game at OCC.

The OCC Men defeated Clinton Community College 90-56, which put a cap on a great weekend of sports action in Syracuse, but the bigger story may have occured earlier in the day when the Lady Lazers shut down Clinton 104-30.

Christian Brothers Academy came up with two wins at the Peppino’s Invitational. They defeated Liverpool last night 60-56 on the strength of Charles Pride’s double double (15 and 10) and Mark Lutz’s 23, including two key three pointers in the second half. We look forward to the CBA Bishop Ludden match up (aka the city’s Holy War) on January 16.

After a sluggish first quarter in the game versus Liverpool,  CBA (and their motion offense) looked to be in mid-season form.
