Moshier: SUNYIT's "Gumby" more than a scorer

Former Holland Patent hoop star David “Gumby” Golembiowski, the spindly, 6-foot-7 sharpshooter who leads the SUNYIT men’s basketball team in scoring, proved he is more than just a scorer during the Wildcats’ 71-50 win over Cortland State on Friday.

 

Golembiowski did score a game-high 19 points, hitting exactly his average, but it was his rebounding that really helped SUNYIT stretch its winning streak to five games. Against a big, physical Cortland team, the Barneveld sophomore more than held his own inside, grabbing a game-high 17 rebounds, 14 of them defensive.

 

Yes, “Gumby” can do more than stretch defense. He still looks like he could stand to beef up a bit, but he’s long and athletic, and if he can rebound like that, and continue to be a long-range threat offensively – he had seven 3s and 44 points in a recent victory – that Jan. 27 home game against crosstown rival Utica College ought to be a dandy.
