Upstate Select 76, Man Up 73
A guard-dominated uptempo battle went down to the wire, and Upstate Select held off a battling Man Up team to get its first win of the young season. After St. Thomas More bound Zach Radz hit a contested 25 footer to end the first half and cut Man Up's deficit to 1 at 32-31, Select went on a run to jump the lead to double digits early in the 2nd half. They used balance throughout - 4 players finished with double digits, and all 7 in uniform had at least 5. Man Up, led by Radz and Hoosick Falls senior Connor McCart, wouldn't go down without a fight. However, a Derek Newman layup and 2 Tyler Bertram free throws iced it for the victors. Utica Proctor senior Dejae Johnson led the way for Upstate Select with 19 points. Newman, a junior at Herkimer, scored 12 of his 16 in the 2nd half, and Bertram, a rising sophomore at Cooperstown, had 10 of his 14 after intermission. Zach Radz led all scorers with 26, 21 of them coming in the 2nd half. Connor McCart added 23 points for Man Up.

Man Up 52, Rising Stars 51
In a game where a high-scoring outcome was expected, no one was really able to get into a good flow - until Zach Radz got it going again. 15 of his game-high 20 came after the halftime break, including a game-winning putback with 5 seconds on the clock. A Joe Girard III 40 foot pull-up for the win with time expiring hit the back rim, giving Man Up their first win. Rising Stars held the lead most of the way, including a 21-16 cushion at halftime. Three costly turnovers in the final minute cost Rising Stars, the final being a rushed pass to no one in particular while the defense was making an attempt to foul in order to stop the clock. Jack Spencer, a rising junior at Section IX Rhinebeck, added 9 points for Man Up in the win. All 10 in uniform scored for Rising Stars, with South Glens Falls senior Matt Higgins being the lone double-digit contributor (10 points). 6'7" Moriah senior Adam Jaquish added 9.

Team 518 59, Bellevue 46
Team 518 jumped out to a big cushion early behind a breakout performance from South Kortright junior Tyler Lamport, and they never looked back. Lamport scored 17 of his game-high 21 in the first half, where his team forged a 35-21 lead at halftime. That was done without their 1st week standout Andrew Sischo, who was only there for the 2nd half. Saratoga Springs senior Alex Skaine added 13 points for Team 518, 9 coming after halftime. 3 finished in double digits for Bellevue, led by Northville junior Danny Reidell (11 points). The Hill School (PA) senior Bryce Allen and Mekeel senior Damonte White added 10 apiece. A huge Achilles heel for Bellevue was the free throw line, where they shot just 5/18 (4/13 in the first half) in comparison to 518's 15/20.
Team 518 (3-0): Colby Fancher 2-1-5, Kaden Baugh 1-2-4, Kevin Murray 1-2-4, Tyler Lamport 8-4-21, Zac O'Dell 3-7, Alex Skaine 5-3-13, Andrew Sischo 1-3-5. Totals: 21-15-59.

Bellevue 20, Marcella Appliances 0
Bellevue wins by forfeit, with Marcella Appliances only having 4 players until the 2nd half.
Marcella Appliances 69, Upstate Select 58
Despite having only 5 players and in their 2nd game of a back-to-back, Marcella Appliances broke free from a tie game at halftime to make amends for the Game 1 forfeit and walk out with a win. Balance was the name of the game for the John Mantas-led squad - 4 out of 5 scored in double digits, and the lone player without 10 points finished with 7. Amsterdam senior Kory Bergh led the way with 17 points and continuously set up others in the offense. A new addition to Marcella Appliances, Jefferson senior Caleb Lapinel surprised many and added 16 points. Though just 5'11", he kept many plays alive with offensive rebounds and tip-outs - many of his points came from outworking his matchup. 6'5" Albany CBA stretch 4 Ian Schultz added 16, and Shaker guard Ben Diamond contributed 13. Saratoga Catholic senior Evan Pescetti chipped in 7, but filled out the stat line with countless non-box score contributions. Utica Proctor senior Dejae Johnson followed up a strong early showing with another nice game at the point, leading Upstate Select with 17 points in the loss.
Marcella Appliances (2-2): Kory Bergh 6-3-17, Caleb Lapinel 7-1-16, Ben Diamond 6-13, Ian Schultz 7-1-16, Evan Pescetti 3-1-7. Totals: 29-6-69.
Upstate Select (1-3): Dejae Johnson 8-17, Anthony Zotto 2-2-6, Patrick Garey 3-7, Derek Newman 2-2-6, Tyler Bertram 4-8, Gavin Giroux 3-2-8, Andrew Mason 3-6. Totals: 25-6-58.

Team 518 64, Rising Stars 36
In what was supposed to be a much-anticipated matchup between the two teams that went 2-0 last week, Team 518 quickly turned it into a massive blowout. Early contributions across the board, led by South Kortright junior Tyler Lamport and Guilderland senior Andrew Sischo, gave their team a whopping 35-10 lead at halftime. Lamport, a 6'3" 2 guard, had 11 of his 13 in the first half. Sischo, a skilled 6'8" big, added 10 in the 1st stanza. He finished with a game high 23 points, and Lamport finished with 13. Schalmont senior Zac O'Dell and Saratoga Springs senior Alex Skaine chipped in with 8 each. Rising Stars, who hit 22 threes opening night, knocked down just 1 in this game and 5 on the night. Troy senior Darius Holmes-Hines and Moriah senior Adam Jaquish paced their team with 10 points each.
Team 518 (4-0): Colby Fancher 0-1-1, Kaden Baugh 1-1-3, Kevin Murray 1-4-6, Tyler Lamport 6-1-13, Zac O'Dell 4-8, Alex Skaine 4-8, Andrew Sischo 11-23, Chris Pfeiffer 1-2. Totals: 28-7-64.
