IAC BOYS BASKETBALL: CANDOR PUTS UP CHALLENGE IN LOSS TO STATE-RANKED WATKINS GLEN (2020-01-14)

Tioga County Sports Report
CANDOR — Candor nearly pulled off the upset here Tuesday night, falling to state-ranked Watkins Glen, 53-49.

The Senecas led by double digits several times, but the Indians kept chipping away at the lead, reducing it to two points as the clock ticked down under 40 seconds.

WG, which was just 4-for-13 at the free throw line, made a couple of clutch foul shots to turn Candor away.

The Senecas led 18-11 after a quarter and 33-22 at the half. Kolden Foster put up 11 points and Daniel Thomas added eight to keep the Indian in the game.

Foster tallied nine more points in the third period and Thomas hit the second of his three 3-pointers as Candor cut the lead to 45-36 heading into the fourth quarter.

Two more threes from Foster in the final frame, giving him three on the night, helped the Indians stay close heading down the stretch.

Foster finished with a game-high 27 points and Thomas finished with 14. Brayden Ferris added four, and Joey Marsh and Joel Dougherty scored two apiece.

Isaac McIlroy led the 9-1 Senecas, ranked 16th in the state in Class C, with 19 points. Adam Pastore tacked on 11 more.

Candor hosts Southern Cayuga Friday.
