The Marcus Whitman Wildcats became one of the first Wayne-Finger Lakes boys team to punch their ticket to the Blue Cross Arena this weekend as they defeated Avon 63-51 on Tuesday night. They will face C.G. Finney, who defeated Gananda 72-44, in the Section V Class C1 Championship game on Friday night at 9:00 pm. It is the first trip to the sectional finals for Whitman since 2001 when current head coach Greg O’Conner was the point guard for the Wildcats.
Lyons also advanced to the Class C2 title game which was no surprise as the heavily favored Lions ran away from Perry, 93-65. What was a bit of a surprise is their opponent in the Class C2 titla game. The Red Jacket Indians defeated Alexander 71-58 and will face Lyons in the championship game on Friday night at 7:00 pm in the Blue Cross Arena.
The Wayne-Finger Lakes leagues saw the Romulus Lady Warriors, the Waterloo Lady Indians and the Pal-Mac Lady Red Raiders exit the tournament on Tuesday night with losses. The Midlakes Screaming Eagles did advance, however, moving on to the Class B1 girls championship game in Victor on Friday night at 8:00 pm with a 58-32 victory. Nate Rich’s squad will face Batavia with a chance to win back-to-back Sectional titles.
