Thursday night saw eight basketball matchups across the Wayne-Finger Lakes, with the most compelling action coming from the boys side in the Finger Lakes West. South Seneca edged Bloomfield in a tight, back-and-forth battle that came down to the final shot, as the Bombers missed a potential game-tying three at the buzzer. Meanwhile, HAC delivered one of the biggest early-season comebacks, wiping out a 15-point halftime deficit and overcoming an eight-point hole in the final two minutes. The Wolves closed the game on a 9-0 run to stun Red Jacket and collect their first win of the season.

Up eight with just over two minutes left, it appeared the Cardinals were on the verge of their first win of the season, but momentum flipped fast. The Wolves clawed back, ultimately taking the lead with 16 seconds to go on a clutch three from Ari Hagelberg. Red Jacket had multiple chances to answer, including after Hagelberg missed two free throws in the final seconds, but couldn’t capitalize. Dillon Janke’s off-balance three at the horn missed its mark, allowing HAC to seal their first victory.
