With a full slate of game on Friday night it wasn’t hard to find action to stream from local gymnasiums with several close games from the Finger Lakes East and West leagues.
The shot of the night came from Penn Yan’s Oliver Connolly who banked in a fade away three-pointer for a 1-point win as the final buzzer sounded to stun the Waterloo Indians…

One of the most anticipated games of the night was played in Pal-Mac where the Red Raiders hosted the Wayne Eagles. Coach Thomson’s boys came to play as Wayne cruised to victory as it was never a contest from the opening buzzer. The Eagles won by 27 behind 19 points from Mason Blankenberg.
Also in the East, Mynderse edged Newark late thanks to strong play from Nick Jones and Jared King down the stretch and Geneva made quick work of Marcus Whitman.
Perhaps the game of the year thus far will be played at 2 pm today as Geneva visits Wayne. You can watch live here.
In the West, South Seneca outlasted Bloomfield at the Jack Guinan Gymnasium, HAC defeated Dundee/Bradford, Naples picked up their second win and Red Jacket defeated Midlakes.
On the girls side of the slate on Friday night the South Seneca Lady Falcons continued their dominant start to the season with a 43-19 win at Bloomfield. Also looking strong early was Dundee who beat HAC behind a double-double from Hallie Knapp. Marcus Whitman was also impressive with a 53-27 win at Red Jacket.
In the FL East, Mynderse beat Newark with strong free throw shooting in the final minute, Pal-Mac handled Wayne, and Waterloo withstood a tough test from Penn Yan to remain undefeated thanks in part to this half-court buzzer-beater from junior Macy Carr…
Earlier today, Waterloo’s Macy Carr hit a half court buzzer beater before halftime.
Waterloo went on to win, 48-36, and Carr finished with 9 points. @PickinSplinters pic.twitter.com/dZuCN8zC6y
