On the final night of the Wayne-Finger Lakes girls basketball regular season, there were still two big games on the slate with league title implications and they both saw the current league leader lose creating a co-champion situation in both the FL East and West..
The Penn Yan Mustangs defeated the Pal-Mac Red Raiders by a score of 60-54. With Penn Yan’s win, Pal-Mac and Waterloo finish as Finger Lakes East co-champions.
Meanwhile, in Shortsville, Red Jacket Indians picked up a 41-35 win over the Marcus Whitman Wildcats to even the standings atop the West. Red Jacket and Marcus Whitman finish the season as Finger Lakes West co-champions.
In Wayne County, the Lyons Lions captured the Wayne County league girls championship outright with a win earlier this week.
On the boys side, the Hilton Cadets handed the Victor Blue Devils their first loss of the season after beating them 72-60 in overtime.
