Final week will decide N-O basketball titles

The Niagara-Orleans League boys and girls basketball season will wrap up this coming week as Wilson looks to claim outright possession of both titles.

On the boys side, undefeated (10-0) Wilson has already clinched at least a tie for the title as the Lakemen hold a two game lead over runner-up Akron (8-2) with only two games remaining. Wilson will host surging Albion on Tuesday and then visit Akron on Friday. Albion brings a four game winning streak into that key contest.

On the girls side, defending champion Wilson is 9-1 and one game ahead of runner-up Akron (8-2). Wilson visits Albion on Tuesday and then hosts Akron on Friday.

The week’s basketball schedule will also be highlighted by Kendall’s induction of the Eagles 1975-76 undefeated Section V boys basketball championship team led by Roosevelt Bouie into the school’s athletic Hall of Fame.

Both the Section V and Section VI state wrestling qualifiers will be held this coming weekend. The Section V D2 qualifier will be held at Bath Haverling on Friday and Saturday. The Section VI qualifier will be held at SUNY Fredonia on Saturday and Sunday.
