ELLICOTTVILLE FINISHES STRONG

GOWANDA — No. 6 Ellicottville scored 14 of its 24 fourth-quarter points at the foul line, broke a 42-all tie, and beat No. 3 Gowanda 66-55 in a Class C quarterfinal.

The teams entered the fourth quarter tied at 42-all after Gowanda won the first quarter 20-5, but the Eagles won the middle two quarters 37-22.

“We were down 22 at one point in the second quarter,” Ellicottville head coach Dave McCann said. “I have to give my kids a ton of credit. Even after the first quarter, they weren’t hanging their heads. They believed they could win.”

AJ Myers led Ellicottville with 17 points and four steals to go along with five rebounds; Rylan Benjamin had 16 points and a team-high five assists; Blake Smith had 12 points, four assists and two steals; and Dominic Polino had 8 points and a team-high 14 rebounds.

Sophomore Rian Johnson, playing in just his fourth varsity game, had a career-high 11 points.

“Rian made a big steal, took it down to the other end and we got a layup out of it,” McCann said. “We really kind of took off from that point. He gave us a huge lift tonight.”

Seth Geiger led the Panthers with 17 points, Trelin Warrior scored 12 and Aiden Geiger had 11.

Next up for the Eagles is a semifinal date with No. 2 Global Concepts at 7:45 p.m. Tuesday at Jamestown Community College. The Gators beat No. 10 Chautauqua Lake 73-44 in another Thursday quarterfinal.

“It’s going to be a huge test. From what I’ve seen, they are athletic, they are fast and they play hard. They pressure the ball,” McCann said of Global Concepts. “We’re going to have to take care of the basketball and make good decisions. We’re going to have to play a really good game.”
