The high school basketball postseason began Tuesday night with a full slate of Wayne-Finger Lakes games, but only two were decided by single digits.
The most thrilling matchup unfolded in Wayne County, where the Newark boys visited Palmyra-Macedon and secured a one-point overtime victory after overcoming a late fourth-quarter deficit. Meanwhile, the Mynderse girls moved on to the second round with a home win over Haverling/Hammondsport.
