Lyndonville advanced by defeating No. 7 Harley-Allendale-Columbia 83-61 in the quarterfinals on Friday while York ousted No. 6 Pavilion 68-52.

Lyndonville brings a record of 18-3 into the semis while York is 15-6. The 18 wins is a school record for the Tigers.
Monday’s other Class C3 semifinal will have top seeded Caledonia-Mumford (20-1) facing No. 4 Naples (13-8).
Cal-Mum ousted No. 8 Clyde-Savannah 79-38 in the quarterfinals while Naples downed No. 5 Oakfield-Alabama 55-42.
