By Steve Bradley
When quarterfinal game time came around at the Hudson Valley Community College gymnasium for the HF Panthers to play the Schuylerville Black Horses, there was a delay. The delay was caused by the Ravena versus Mekeel Christian Academy game going into overtime. With the Panthers scheduled to play the winner of the game, it was enjoyable to watch the end of a very exciting game and see what was in store for the Panthers. Ravena, a number 13 seed who has beaten a number four and number five seed, came away a winner with a 78 – 76 OT win. Ravena will now face the Panthers in the semifinals at the Glens Falls Civic Center.
