Liverpool holds off C-NS, 70-63 by Phil Blackwell
Half a regular season of girls basketball seemed to indicate that Liverpool offered the most stern challenge to Cicero-North Syracuse and its place atop the area Class AA ranks. And what took place last Tuesday night only seemed to reinforce that point. Strong on both ends at the outset, the Warriors built a big lead and then held on to claim a 70-63 victory over the Northstars.
Liverpool entered the game 8-2 and no. 15 in the state AA rankings, with C-NS in the no. 22 spot, but both sides were undefeated in the Salt City Athletic Conference Metro division, making this a first-place clash between the neighbors and rivals. For all that took place on this night, how the game started would prove decisive. After Maddy Howell scored the game’s first basket, the Warriors took off on a 15-0 run that covered nearly four minutes. The Warriors

As if that wasn’t enough, after C-NS offered a strong answer with eight points from Kathleen Taru, Liverpool put together a 12-0 spurt that bridged the first and second quarters, and stretched its margin to 32-11. Despite all this, the Northstars began to settle down and take advantage when Wingate sat with two early fouls, trying hard to chip away at the big deficit throughout the game’s middle stages. Answering this, the Warriors turned to sophomore A’briyah Cunningham, who hit on nine of her 17 Liverpool forward Neveah Wingate (22) is defended by CiceroNorth Syracuse’s Kathleen Taru (20) in last Tuesday’s game.

points in the third quarter, which kept her team’s lead in double digits. Yet C-NS still battled back, led by Taru, who finished with 23 points, and Brianna Weaver, who had 13 of her 14 points in the second half. It got even tighter when the Warriors missed a string of free throws late in the fourth quarter. With more than a minute to play, Weaver’s layup cut it to 64-59, but after seven consecutive misses at the line, Liverpool sealed it when it worked the ball to Kaylyn Sweeney. When fouled, Sweeney made seven straight free throws and sealed the win. Wingate still led the Warriors with 20 points. More than half of Sweeney’s 12 points came from those late foul shots as Stackhouse finished with 10 points and Gianna Washington eight points. These two sides meet again Feb. 7 at C-NS. In the meantime, both would go on and win league games later in the week – the Northstars
outscoring Henninger 72-58, the Warriors handling West Genesee. In C-NS’s case, it was Taru shining against the Black Knights, setting a new career mark as she poured in 32 points, everything from drives to the basket to a pair of 3-pointers. This, along with 16 points from Weaver, allowed the Northstars to overcome a 38-32 halftime deficit, a 20-7 push through the third quarter proving the key to victory as Henninger got 28 points from Sinai Lee and 18 points from Iyanna Kyles. Liverpool had an easier time of it against West Genesee, prevailing 56-33 as Wingate got 20 points and Sweeney 11 points,with Joelle Wike stepping up as her pair of 3-pointers accounted for all of her six points. On Saturday, C-NS won again, topping Section VI’s Lancaster 60-38 as it built a 25-16 halftime lead and then outscored the Legends 24-7 in the third quarter to get clear, improving its overall mark to 8-4.

AMR member, Syracuse Police officer investigated in woman’s DWI arrest An AMR Ambulance staff member is the subject of a criminal investigation after transporting a woman arrested for driving while intoxicated early New Year’s Day morning, according to a news release from the Onondaga County Sheriff ’s Office. At approximately 3 a.m. on Jan. 1, Tatianna Sustache, 33, crashed her car on John Glenn Boulevard in the town of Salina.
Deputies responding to the crash reportedly noticed the woman’s breath had a strong smell of alcohol and that she was slurring her words. During the investigation, her brother, Milton Sustache Jr., who is a Syracuse police officer, arrived at the scene in a marked patrol car in his police uniform, according to the news release. The deputy completed his investigation and arrested the operator
for driving while intoxicated. The sheriff ’s deputies reported that the actions of the SPD officer were abnormal, according to the release. He is now under investigation, as the sheriff ’s office requested that SPD and the district attorney’s office review the case. After the driver was arrested, she requested medical attention and AMR Ambulance staff members began to treat her, deputies said. She was put in an ambulance and trans-
ported to a local hospital. After they arrived at the hospital, a sheriff ’s deputy reportedly began questioning actions taken by an AMR staff member. What actions were called into question were not detailed in the release. As a result of the alleged actions taken by the AMR staff member, the sheriff ’s office launched a criminal investigation. This investigation remains open at this time.
