LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — For the 14th consecutive year, SUNY Sullivan hosted the annual Sullivan County BCANY vs. Cancer classic. It was held “down in the bunker” at the local community college.

The Basketball Coaches Association of New York (BCANY) is a service organization uniting all levels of basketball coaches in the state.

The fundraising tourney kicked off on Saturday, February 4 with varsity basketball games between the boys and girls from Sullivan West pitted against Eldred, followed by a boys’ game between the hoopsters of Monticello and Liberty, NY.

The classic is held in honor of all those fighting cancer, especially those undergoing treatment in the oncology center at Garnet Health Medical Center in Harris and Middletown.

The opening game of the classic featured the Lady Bulldogs of Sullivan West (7-3) battling Eldred’s Lady Yellowjackets (3-9). 

Sullivan West outgunned Eldred in all four frames, walking off the court with a dominating 58-18 victory: 15-2, 20-4, 10-7 and 11-5.

Sullivan West: Anna Bernas (12 points), Karlee Diehl (11), Nicole Reeves (9, including a three-pointer), Lanie Herbert (9), Violla Shami (8, including a three-pointer) and Liz Reeves (5, including a three-pointer).
