1-24-2008 By ERIC AHLQVIST Editor Milford improved to 5-2 in league play, with a 59-28 home win over Gilbertsville-Mt. Upton Friday night, while CV-S lost what could be a costly game to Franklin at home, 65- 60, to fall to 4-3 in league play. The Patriots host Milford Wednesday. ``That's probably the key game to the season," said Milford head coach Frank Spurchise. ``We control our destiny, which is a nice position to be in." Franklin's Brian Schmidt scored 13 of his 26 points in the third quarter, including three three-point shots, as Franklin overcame a fourpoint halftime deficit at Cherry Valley Friday. ``We just kept losing him on defense and he really burned us," said CV-S head coach Jordan Jaquay. ``We really didn't play well defensively at all in the game." Anthony Brant and Jason Guernsey combined for 37 of the Patriots' 60 points. CV-S played without starting forward Zach Pacenak, who sprained an ankle during practice last week and could miss two weeks. Milford got 18 points from Sean Huffstickler and 19 points from Brian Edelstein against G-MU. CV-S, 6-6 overall and 4-3 in league play, are off until Jan. 28, when they travel to Davenport for a non-league contest. They host Milford on Wednesday, Jan. 30 in a must-win game in the Tri-Valley East. ``We put ourselves in a tough position as far as winning the league, and will probably have to win the rest of our games to win our side," Jaquay said. On the girls side, undefeated CV-S holds a two-game lead over second place Milford in the T-V East, and the teams meet Tuesday in Cherry Valley. Milford also has a tough road game at Schenevus Friday night. CV-S improved to 11-0 with an easy, 63-11 win at Franklin Friday. The Lady Patriots are off until the Milford game. |
