A dozen high school basketball games unfolded across the Wayne-Finger Lakes region on Wednesday night.
The two most thrilling games on the slate took place in Seneca Falls. First, the Mynderse girls secured a non-league overtime victory against Charles G. Finney, ending a three-game losing streak. Then, the Mynderse boys defeated Waterloo, snapping their seven-game win streak and extending their own to four.
Check out the scores, stats, and Thursday’s matchups below.
