BUFFALO — A turnover late in the game took away an opportunity for Randolph to tie things up in a 65-61 nonleague loss to Tapestry.

The Cardinals were down three with 16 seconds left, but never got a shot up before giving the ball back to the Thunderhawks.

Randolph (4-1) went just 8 of 22 from the foul line while Tapestry (5-2) was just 7 of 22.

“A lot of our free throws were 1-and-1s. Free throws killed us, that’s the bottom line,” Randolph coach Kevin Hind said. “We were 16 for 17 the other night. This has been one of the best free throw shooting teams I’ve had. When you play five games in seven nights, I guess that happens.”

Ty Hind led the Cardinals with 24 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, to go along with seven assists. Gabe McCoy added 13 of his 16 points in the second half while Andrew Bernard had six rebounds and Branson Morrison added four steals.

“It was a great atmosphere and a great game. It was super intense. Gabe McCoy had a monster dunk in traffic late in the game,” said Coach Hind, whose team saw its season come to an end at the Thunderhawks’ hands last winter. “It was a good game for us and a good experience. We just have to get better and see what happens.”

Tariq Eubanks led Tapestry with 25 points, Dorian Plummer had 14, Carl Johnson had 13 and Ramel Robinson had 11.

WOLVERINES WIN AGAIN

WESTFIELD — Well-balanced Westfield remained perfect in Chautauqua-Cattaraugus Athletic Association Division 2 West action with a 65-52 victory over Cassadaga Valley.

Dylan Scriven led the Wolverines (5-2, 3-0) with 15 points and five rebounds while Michael Johnson had 14 points and Ryan Jafarjian had 12 in the win.

Westfield’s balanced attack was on full display in the third quarter. With a slim 33- 31 lead at halftime, the Wolverines had five different players score, led by Johnson’s 5 points.

“We just had balanced scoring,” Westfield coach Bob North said. “In the last game, we had four guys score in double figures. This game three. We are more balanced which helps us. It’s harder to defend when you’re well-balanced.”

Nathan Culbreth had five assists and Evan Hauser had six rebounds for the victors.

The Cougars (2-5, 0-2) were led by Connor Crabtree’s 13 points and 10 rebounds while Adam Goot contributed with 11 points and four steals.
