NEWS BRIEFS FROM AROUND THE STATE:

Boogie Fland, one of the top seniors in NY, has requested to be released from his commitment to Kentucky.

The NY Sportswriters have released their Small School All-State selections. The Large School selections should be available next week. All-State teams are compiled by Steve Grandin with input from NYSSWA correspondents from all parts of the state.

The last game of the season for NY high school basketball was played on April 4 with New Yorks #1 team, Long Island Lutheran (21-5), losing to Columbus-FL (28-4) in the first round of the Chipolte National Championships 71-58. Our congratulations to LuHi on a great season!

In the 2024 McDonald's All-American game, the East pulled out an 88-86 win. Three players from NY participated with Ian Jackson (Our Saviour Lutheran/Cardinal Hayes) scoring 21 points and Boogie Fland (Archbishop Stepinac) chipping in 17 for the East. VJ Edgecombe (Long Island Lutheran) scored 9 for the West. 

The final of the Red Sarachek National Tournament at Yeshiva University lived up to its hype. Megan David tied the game at 53 with :008 left to send it to overtime. In the extra period, Yeshiva University of Los Angeles scored the first 12 points and never looked back, winning 69-59. Megan David had their 24-game win streak snapped and finished 38-3, a truly great season!!

When Section 2 won 4 of the 6 State Championships this season, the questions arose whether this was a first. Well, in 2004, Section 1 garnered 4 championships of the 5 played. Mount Vernon, Somers, Blind Brook and Alexander Hamilton were the winners and Fox Lane, another Section 1 team, lost in the semi-finals. Class A Jamesville-DeWitt (27-0) was the lone non-Section 1 winner. Section's 1 & 2 are the only ones to win 4 in one season.

79-63 Green Tech over Bay Shore for the state chip. Shoutout to the Marauders on a GREAT season! I know it hurts bad right now but don’t forget all the history you guys made 🫡

Section II is now 5-0 on the boys side

This section has a lot of high quality teams in every classification; this is not a product of having home court advantage this weekend. Reducing the Section's collective success to that geographical tidbit would be a lazy thought

BHOOPS: FINAL - Moravia 56, Lyons 45

The Blue Devils (22-3) are off to the New York State Championship game for the first time since 2017. They'll play Haldane tomorrow night in Glens Falls for the Class C crown at 8:45pm. Kyler Proper finishes the night with a game best 21pts.
