State semifinal action began today at Hudson Valley Community College (women) and in Binghamton (men). Four Section II teams were in action.
At HVCC, Class C champion Cambridge moved a step closer to a state championship, as they won in a romp, 75-43, over Maple Grove, the same school whose football team fell to Cambridge in 2016-17. However, Class D champ Notre Dame-Bishop Gibbons' Cinderella run came to an end with a shattering 56-26 loss to Franklinville. Abby Kienzle led the Golden Knights with 10 points as the Knights couldn't get anything going against a smothering defense.
In Binghamton, it was business as usual for Joseph Girard III and Glens Falls. Girard had a game high 39 points, cousin Trent added 12, and the Indians eliminated Olean, 83-63.
Unfortunately for Troy High's supporters, the Class A champions, the last hope of the Suburban Council to bring home a state title, fell short against Pittsford-Mendon, 92-67. Troy finishes at 21-5, and has offered a peek into the future, having called up three players from the junior varsity in the season's final weeks. Zaveon Little was promoted after Hunter Redden graduated early, and when the rosters expanded for sectional play, Deondre Butler and Marquis Hanby were promoted.
Semi-final action continues tomorrow, and there will also be some championships decided in the same two venues.
