ADDISON — The Lady Knights of Addison gave undefeated Canisteo-Greenwood everything they could handle on Thursday. After keeping Lillian Mullen at bay without a single shot from the field, the hosts would push it to the limit entering the last eight minutes of play.

But a balanced fourth quarter attack paced on one end of the floor, while the defense buckled down to hold Addison to just five points in turn, as Canisteo-Greenwood survived a back-and-forth shootout with the Lady Knights to remain undefeated to close out regular season play with a 45-34 road win.

Both teams engaged in a back-and-forth affair throughout the first eight minutes behind balanced attacks across the board, as the Lady Redskins (17-0) grabbed the narrow upper hand with a four-point lead to carry into the next period, behind a trio of Peyton Peters baskets inside and a perfect 6-for-6 outing at the charity stripe.

The momentum was maintained with a strong finish to the first half for the visitors in red and black, with a Bailey Mullen three-pointer and a 5-for-6 outing at the line furthering the team’s cause in what was a 12-6 doubling-up of Addison in the second quarter to distance their lead to 10.

Addison would catch back up to Canisteo-Greenwood behind the efforts of Jillian Ames and a three-pointer from Bailee Jackson paving the way in the team’s response to their opposition’s first half-ending run, as they closed the gap back down to four with an 11-5 to enter the final eight minutes within arm’s reach.

But the balance of power would provide one final shift towards the Lady Redskins, as they put together their strongest showing on both sides to keep the Lady Knights at bay, holding them to two shots from the field on defense while the offense led by Bailey Mullen and Brooke Burd down low conducted business to secure the win down the stretch.

Mullen would finish with a game-high 15 points to pair with nine rebounds. Burd followed with 13 points of her own to couple with 10 boards to finish off a double-double performance, while Peters concluded with 10 to go with seven rebounds. Adding special teams help along the way was Elaine Roach, who chipped in seven rebounds and three assists, while Lillian Mullen had three more helpers to hand out.

Canisteo-Greenwood is now off until February 7, when the Steuben County Tournament begins to officially kick into gear to close out the season.

ARKPORT — After a victorious first set went in favor of the Lions of Wellsville, the battle was on against host Arkport/Canaseraga on Thursday. Across the next three sets, some of the night’s most competitive action began to unfold, with each set being decided by no more than two points.

Both of those sets were claimed by the Wolves, as they instantaneously pushed Wellsville towards the brink, and eventually over in the night’s final set to record what was a four-set win to lock in as the No. 4 seed in the County Playoff picture with a 21-25, 26-24, 25-23, 25-17 victory.

Despite the defeat, the Lions (7-7) saw a tremendous surge of offense lead the way from Xavier Scott and Riley Graves, with Scott compiling 10 kills to go with two aces and two digs, while Graves chipped in with six additional kills of his own along with three digs and two aces. The team’s setter, Gavan Dickerson chipped in by handing out 15 assists to his teammates, adding in seven digs on defense and a pair of aces from the back line.

Wellsville has locked themselves in as the No. 5 seed in the County Playoffs, which will begin on Tuesday, where they travel to Arkport/Canaseraga once more for a 6 p.m. opening round battle.

WRESTLING

Bolivar-Richburg 33, Letchworth 30

BOLIVAR — On the final night in front of their home crowd this regular season, the Wolverines of Bolivar-Richburg wanted to make sure their two seniors — Parker Worth and Trent Sibble, got the ultimate sendoff they deserved on Senior Night.

Down 24-9 entering the last five matches of the night against visiting Letchworth, Bolivar-Richburg would have to go to work on the high-wire to get the job done. Out of the remaining bouts, the hosts would score three huge pin-fall victories against the Indians to cut the deficit to just three points.

It would come down to the very last match of the night. With one Sibble already finding their way into the win column for the evening, it was only appropriate for the other to build a big boost of momentum heading into today’s State Tournament in Syracuse.

Teegan Sibble said game over.

To close out the night, the Bolivar-Richburg sophomore gave her team a sensational way to end the regular season slate on their home floor, as she captured a pin-fall victory with 30 seconds left in the opening period to give the Wolverines a massive game-ending six-point swing to send them over the top, clinching the 33-30 win over Letchworth on Thursday.

After the match began with a Trey Buchholz pin-fall win for Bolivar-Richburg at 126 pounds, the forfeits began to avalanche. With the next four decisions sharing that result, three of them were shared by both teams before Letchworth found their way onto the board with a forfeit win at 152 pounds.

The win was one of three that the Indians would collect out of the next four matches to build a 24-9 lead on the hosts entering the last five matches of the night. Sandwiched in-between was a 160 pounds win for Tavyn MacDonell, as he fought tooth and nail to record an 8-5 decision win over Chris Shearing.

The Wolverines would kick it into high gear to close out the match with a forfeit win by Caden Allen (215 pounds) and a strong pin-fall win for Trent Sibble at 285 pounds (1:12) to charge up the comeback. They ultimately found themselves trailing by three after both teams traded a win in the lightweight division, with Gary McDowell collecting a pin-fall win in just 1:13 at 110 pounds.

With time running out, the match was now hanging in the balance. It all came down to Teegan Sibble in the very last match to be decided in an opportunity she would not squander, as she picked up the clutch pin-fall victory with 29 seconds left to close the curtain on the final home win of the season.

Bolivar-Richburg will head for their final tenure of dual tournament action in Arkport on Saturday before they officially put a wrap on their regular season as a whole on Tuesday back out on the road, traveling for a 6:15 p.m. bout against Avoca/Prattsburgh.
