After they finished the regular season in sixth place in the Wasaren League with a 7-11 record and seeded 13th in the Class C Sectionals, most people may have figured the Hoosick Falls Lady Panthers would close out their season on Tuesday night. And playing at the fourth seeded Greenwich Witches, who already handed them two 20 point losses, did not encourage most to believe the upset could happen. The Lady Panthers apparently were too busy preparing to get that memo though, stunning the Witches on their home court and pulling off the 44-42 first round victory.

The third time wasn’t the charm for the Cambridge boys basketball team. The third time playing Hoosick Falls turned out to be pretty much just like the last two times, lopsided Panther victories.
