Semifinal games for Section V boys and girls basketball wrapped up on Wednesday night with more Wayne-Finger Lakes teams advancing to the sectional finals this weekend.
Palmyra-Macedon, Newark and Mynderse all picked up wins on the boys side. This sets up a Finger Lakes East heavy championship slate on Saturday afternoon at Webster-Schroeder High School with Mynderse taking on Wellsville at 1 pm for the B2 crown and Pal-Mac meeting Newark at 4 pm for the B1 title. The Pal-Mac vs. Newark showdown will be a rematch of the 2016 championship game which Newark won at the Blue Cross Arena. Pal-Mac’s last sectional title in boys basketball came back in 2005 en route to the NYS Class B State Championship.
Gananda and East Rochester picked up victories to advance in the Class C girls bracket where they’ll join Dundee-Bradford in a triple-header featuring a Wayne-Finger Lakes team in each title game.
