Another Section V girls basketball team is headed to the New York State Finals.
The Canandaigua Braves (21-5) took down the Manhasset Indians (24-2), 55-42, in the NYS Class A Semifinal on Friday afternoon at Hudson Valley Community College.

Mya Herman led three Braves in double figures with a game-high 14 points on 7-of-12 shooting. Eily Hubler scored 13 points, and Kayleigh Chapman recorded a double, netting 12 points and securing 13 rebounds.
