Kevin Witt’s new top 10 (along with No. 11-20)

I caught the first quarter, with video camera in tow, so I could get some highlights for this week’s basketball show. It didn’t take long to find them. Middletown led 28-8 after the first quarter.

Russell Corley injured
Fallsburg has been without starting sophomore point guard Russell Corley since Jan. 2, because of a “displaced fracture in his face,” coach Pete Dworetsky said. Corley was hurt in a collision during the game with a Sullivan West player. Dworetsky hopes the injury doesn’t turn out to be season-ending.
