Edmeston Central School made history on Saturday, March 7. Behind a balanced scoring effort and timely defensive stops, the Panthers defeated the Schenevus Dragons 65-59 to capture the program’s first Section IV Class D boys basketball championship. The matchup was played at SUNY Delhi’s Clark Field House.
Edmeston built an early lead and withstood a determined second-half rally by the Dragons to secure the sectional title.
The Panthers controlled the tempo early, moving the ball efficiently and repeatedly finding scoring opportunities near the basket. That inside attack allowed Edmeston to gradually build separation during the opening half.
By halftime, the Panthers had turned that steady play into a 34-22 advantage.
Schenevus, however, refused to go away.
