Syracuse Academy of Science (SAS) defeated Institute of Technology Syracuse Central (ITC) last night in a Sectionals match up played at the Lab (Park Street). ITC raced out to a big lead in the first quarter, but SAS, with big-time support from their home crowd, made a furious comeback and pulled away in the third quarter. The final score was 73-59.

By the fourth quarter the game was out of reach and Coach Gokce went down the bench for high fives from his players.

Apparently Syracuse Academy of Science (SAS) varsity basketball has passed the test. Three years ago when I covered their inaugural campaign they were winless and at the bottom of their division. I saw them play Onondaga last night and they won 73-63 to maintain their place at the top of the Patriot League division. They have gone from the basement to a serious contender thanks to a blend of speed and inside strength. Lavell Ellick (pictured above) was an original member of the inaugural teamĀ and last night he scored 19 points.
