The Potsdam Central varsity boys basketball team never gave up the
lead to OFA on Monday.
As it turned out, the Sandstoners never gave the Blue Devils a chance to win
either.
³I don¹t think it was anything that Ogdensburg didn¹t do. I just think it
was a case where we performed at an extremely high level tonight. This was a
game that we wanted badly,² said coach Steve Kmack after his squad
methodically worked its way to a 78-39 win over OFA in a matchup of
early-season NAC Central Division unbeatens.
³Ogdensburg is no slouch. They¹re very well-coached and they have some
talented players. I have the utmost respect for coach (Bill) Merna. We¹ve
had some real battles over the years. But our guys have put in a lot of
hours preparing for this one and they came out tonight and really played the
game the way it should be played,² Kmack added.
The Blue Devils managed to win the opening tip-off but the Sandstoners
answered by reeling off the first seven points over the game over the first
2:15. Senior Gene Bouyer broke the Potsdam streak 11 seconds later with the
first two of his game-high 29 points to lead a 7-4 OFA run over the next
minute-and-a-half that cut the deficit to 11-7 only to have the Sandstoners
close out the quarter with a 7-3 run over their own that pushed the lead
back up to 20-10.
Potsdam carried the momentum of the late surge into the second quarter where
they scored the first 10 points to push their lead to 30-10 and the Blue
Devils never got closer than 14 points the rest of the night, falling behind
39-21 by halftime and 59-35 heading into the fourth quarter where they
opened by trading baskets with the Sandstoners in the first minute but were
shutout over the last seven.
Junior Zach Adams fired through 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to anchor
the Potsdam win. Classmate John Coleman tallied 21 points, six assists and
six steals. Scott Bartenstein contributed 13 points and six assists toward
the win. Josh Adams, a sophomore, generated eight points and nine rebounds.
Senior Chris Whispell added four points and another six assists.
While Bouyer, who also grabbed a team-high eight rebounds, was able to break
through for his 27 points, the rest of the Blue Devils lineup struggled to
find the mark. Dave Crowder was the next leading scorer with five points.
Owen Luckie (5 assists) added three and Jared Morrow accounted for the other
two.
³Gene (Bouyer) scored 29 of their 37 points and he¹s as fine a player as
I¹ve ever coached against but we made his work hard for all of his points
tonight. We also did a nice job of not letting anyone else hurt us,² noted
Kmack.
³We¹ve very pleased with the win but it¹s only one game,² he added.
The Sandstoners improved to 6-0 with the win and 3-0 in the Central while
OFA slipped to 2-1 in the NAC and 4-2 overall.

26-5-16-83. Three-Pointers: H-D 8 (Amo 5, Allen 1, Rust 2), Lisbon 5
(Mehaffy 1, Fletcher 1, LaTulip 1, McDonell 2).
Lisbon carried out its entire game plan very effectively in Monday
night¹s meeting of 3-0 NAC West League teams versus reigning league champion
Hermon-DeKalb.
And the Knights did everything possible in the final 5.3 seconds of
regulation to defend a 65-62 lead against H-D guard Dylan Amo as the
southpaw sniper looked for shooting space for a three-pointer as time
expired.
But Amo launched a 25-foot straight-on rainbow over the outstretched arms of
two defenders and the improvised shot found nothing but net to send the
entertaining and well-played game into overtime.
Two overtimes later, Amo broke an 80-80 tie with a 28-foot flip which again
swished after the buzzer to decide an 83-80 H-D win in a game where Lisbon
hit three three-pointers in the second OT only to be outscored 14-11.
³I just chucked it,² said a soft-spoken and smiling Amo after the contest
where he admitted that he felt little pressure on his game-winner because
the score was tied.
But the pressure was intense on his life-giving trifecta at the end of
regulation which gave the fans of both teams a bonus of eight additional
minutes of outstanding high school basketball.
³This was like a playoff game and I was just so pleased at the way we
played. We have a lot of juniors and sophomores out there which made it even
better. We played very well tonight but they are such a tough defensive team
because they are so long. We just gave them too many rebounds in the second
half,² said Lisbon Coach Sean Backus of his Knights who outscored the
Demons 17-8 in the second quarter, sparked by five quick points off the
bench by David Latulip, and never relinquished the lead until Connor Whitton
converted a drive off the tipoff of overtime.
³I thought about fouling at the end but as the play developed we did
everything right. We got around the high screen and had two guys right on
Dylan. But he made a great shot.²
Amo finished with 26 points and five assists for the winners who received
22 points and 10 rebounds from Jon Peters who led a fourth quarter rally
with 10 points. Whitton tallied 13 points and sent the game into a second
overtime with a free throw with 21.1 seconds to play. Brandon Rust netted 10
with two three-pointers and Logan Brabaw (3 assists) and Logan Allen (6
rebounds) followed with six and five points.
³I told the guys that if we didn¹t rebound better in the second half that we
weren¹t going to win because Lisbon is such a tough team. In the second half
we rebounded better out of our zone and Dylan Amo made those two great
three-pointers,² said H-D Coach Clay Denesha.
³Tonight Chris Wentzel got in foul trouble and we had to play a lot of
combinations. We had to play small a lot and I really think that everyone
who played for us played their best game. Logan Brabaw and Logan Allen
really came through.²
Center Ryan Akins paced the Golden Knights with 19 points focused around
lefthanded conversions inside, 12 rebounds, three steals and three blocked
shots highlighted by a spectacular above the rim rejection with 19.9 seconds
remaining in the regulation. Eric Mehaffy delivered 17 points with six
rebounds, four steals and four assists and an outstanding defensive
performance and his backcourt partner Mike McDonell did likewise tallying 14
points with five steals.
Scott Lawton came through with a 10-point, eight rebound effort with several
key offensive rebounds and sophomore Kyle Binion delivered a 12-point effort
off the bench converting six of eight shots in the paint.
McDonell and Mehaffy buried threes to give Lisbon a 78-75 lead in the second
overtime and Nolan Fletcher (5 points) buried a three with 20 seconds to
play to tie the score at 80-80.
