Fan to Fantastic

Tyler Sullivan, the fan, cheers on his old team on Saturday.
Former Liverpool guard Tyler Sullivan was in the stands to cheer on his former team at the Peppino’s Tournament last night. Liverpool was thumped by Ludden in front of a packed crowd.
Today, however, Sullivan came to ball. The Onondaga Community College freshman played a solid floor game and stuffed the stat sheet with a 19 point performance in 29 minutes of action. He shot 56 percent from the field, including 2 of 4 from three, and 78 percent from the line. He also added five assists and five steals. Quantae Elijah poured in 20 points as well.
Tyler Sullivan (the baller) drives to the hoop on Sunday.
The OCC Men defeated Clinton Community College 90-56, which put a cap on a great weekend of sports action in Syracuse, but the bigger story may have occured earlier in the day when the Lady Lazers shut down Clinton 104-30.

Week in Review: Warrior Pride
December 4th, 2016
Swingman Charles Pride (#5) exited CBA for Liverpool, but he definitely brought his game along. During a much-hyped early season test against Bishop Ludden (Peppino’s Invitational Tournament) he dropped 20 and blocked a few shots. But Pride’s efforts weren’t enough to overcome 22 points by Mika Adams-Woods. Ludden won the game 65-50.

Good Knights: OCC Men’s Basketball Coach Erik Saroney (left) and Henninger High Boys Basketball Coach Gil Spaights had a mini reunion at the Peppino’s Tournament on Saturday evening before the Henninger v. Horseheads contest at OCC. Both men are in their inaugural seasons. Spaights was an assistant coach when Sarnony was at Henninger.
Localism
December 3rd, 2016
One of the great benefits of having a local pro sports franchise in your city is being exposed to lots of local talent. A choir from the Liverpool School District, including middle school student Geoffrey Race (center) and his sister Sophia, sang the National Anthem at last night’s Silver Knights game at the Onondaga County War Memorial. We’d also love to see a kinetic marching band take the field for a future home game.

Horseheads High’s Brewster Marshall jumps with Henninger’s Kevon Linder to start overtime of the second to last game tonight (Peppino’s Tournament). Horseheads won in overtime 73-70.
Beyond the Numbers
December 3rd, 2016
The Syracuse Silver Knights had better numbers in several categories (see below). but still fell to Cedar Rapids last night. The final score was 6-5. The Knights had 15 shots on goal, including two bullets by a man with one of the all-time great soccer names, Antonio Manfut (above).
Goals turned into a bromance: Manfut’s mates showed some love following his goal.
