Despite the pandemic delaying, and shortening, the 2020-21 Wayne-Finger Lakes high school basketball season, it was highly entertaining, live streamed from start to finish, and an opportunity to watch some of the best high school athletes in the area go head-to-head in their quest for a sectional title. Below we have honored some of the players that made the past season so memorable. Between the boys and girls, we cover 54 teams in the Wayne-Finger Lakes here at FingerLakes1.com. That puts the players honored below in a very exclusive club, and also means we had to make some tough decisions as several student-athletes who received an honorable mention could make a good argument for inclusion in the Terrific Twenty-One.
We are pleased to present our 2020-21 W-FL Players of the Year, Coaches of the Year and boys and girls Terrific Twenty-One honorees…
