High school basketball season is officially over in Section II, and two champions emerged from the Federation Tournament of Champions over the weekend at Cool Insuring Arena in Glens Falls.
On Sunday afternoon, homestanding Glens Falls got a combined 69 points from the Girard cousins (Joseph III, Trent, & Connor), and needed Trent's late game heroics, not cousin Joe's, for a change to overcome Cardinal O'Hara, 88-79. Trent finished with 21 points, Connor cracked the scoring column for a change with 5, and, well, for Syracuse-bound Joseph, it was business as usual, 43 points to lead all scorers. Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim was in attendance, and, as he heads back to Syracuse, he's looking for a way to fit Joseph Girard III into his system.
Justin Hemphill led Cardinal O'Hara with 26 points in a losing effort.
Earlier Sunday, Albany Academy captured its fourth Class A Federation title in the last five years, blowing out Frederick Douglass for the 2nd time this season, 75-49. August Mahoney led the Cadets with a game high 24 points. Rob Brown added 16, and Andre Jackson had 13.
Derek Mejia led Frederick Douglass with 14 points. The Cadets led, 44-13, at halftime, and you probably couldn't blame anybody that came for this game if they left for the exits at that point. The two teams played at SUNY-Cobleskill earlier this year, with a similar result, a Cadet blowout.
