Two state champions crowned

On Saturday night, Cambridge captured the women's Class C state title at Hudson Valley Community College, defeating Watkins Glen, 57-43. Sophie Phillips had a game high 24 points for the winners, as Cambridge wins its first state title in women's basketball.

Earlier in the day, Joseph Girard III and Glens Falls won the men's Class B state title in a 75-74 overtime thriller over Lowville. Girard was the difference maker yet again with 50 points.

However, Section II Class C champion Lake George saw its 56 game winning streak come to a crashing end at the hands of Middle Early College out of Buffalo, 80-63.

Today, Oppenheim-Ephratah-St. Johnsville has a chance to give Section II a 3rd state title, as they'll play for the Class D title vs. Harrisville in Binghamton. To get there, OESJ downed Panama, 61-57, in the semifinals.

The Federation Tournament of Champions takes place next weekend for men & women, and we'll have more information on that as early as tomorrow.
